FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Capilene Cool fabric?
The Capilene Cool fabric is engineered for warm weather, offering excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties, along with HeiQ® Mint odor control to keep you comfortable and fresh during activities.
Is this shirt suitable for very cold weather?
This shirt is primarily designed for warm weather due to its breathability and wicking capabilities. For cold weather, it can serve as a base layer, but it is not intended as an insulating outer layer.
How is the fit of this t-shirt?
The t-shirt features a regular fit with set-in sleeves, designed to offer a balance between comfort and mobility without being too tight or too loose.
What does 'Fair Trade Certified™ factory' mean?
It means that the factory where the garment was made is certified to uphold standards that protect workers' rights and the environment, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions.
Can I use fabric softener with this shirt?
No, it is strongly recommended not to use fabric softeners. They can clog the fabric's fibers and reduce its moisture-wicking and breathability performance over time.
How do I care for the HeiQ® Mint odor control?
The HeiQ® Mint treatment is durable, but to maintain its effectiveness, wash the garment in cold water, use mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying.
What activities is this t-shirt best suited for?
It is ideal for a variety of warm-weather activities including running, trail running, hiking, paddleboarding, and other watersports, as well as casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels sticky or less breathable after a few washes.
This can sometimes be due to residual detergent or fabric softener buildup. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's wicking properties. Wash on a cold cycle with a small amount of detergent.
Odor control seems to be diminishing.
The HeiQ® Mint treatment is designed for longevity, but effectiveness can vary. Try a "stripping" wash with a specialized sports detergent or a small amount of vinegar in a cold wash cycle to remove buildup that might be affecting the treatment. Avoid high heat when washing or drying.
Chafing is still occurring during intense activity.
While designed with minimal seams, individual skin sensitivity varies. Ensure the fit is appropriate for your activity – not too tight or too loose. Consider wearing a base layer underneath if chafing persists in specific areas.
