Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Koster Sweat Half-Zip, follow these standard garment maintenance practices:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Using a mesh laundry bag can help reduce friction.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the soft hand feel and prevent shrinkage. Avoid high-heat tumble drying which can degrade the elastane.
- Compatibility: This garment fits well over standard t-shirts or light base layers. When pairing with outerwear, the low-profile ribbed collar ensures it sits comfortably under hoods or collars without causing bulk.
- Storage: Fold the sweater flat rather than hanging it for extended periods to prevent the fabric from stretching out under its own weight.
