FAQs

What does 'ProTek finish' mean?

The ProTek finish is a treatment applied to the fabric that provides a durable water-repellent (DWR) coating. This helps water bead up and roll off the surface, keeping you drier in light rain or splashes.

Is this hoodie suitable for heavy rain?

The hoodie is designed for light rain and moisture. For heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I wash the hoodie to preserve the water repellency?

Wash on a cold cycle with like colors, and avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Air drying or tumble drying on low heat is recommended. Reapplication of a water-repellent spray may be needed over time.

What is the fit like?

This is a unisex hoodie, generally designed for a comfortable, relaxed fit. Refer to the specific size chart provided by the retailer for detailed measurements.

Can I iron this hoodie?

Yes, you can iron it on a cool setting if needed. However, avoid ironing directly over any printed logos or branding to prevent damage.

Where are the team logos located?

The logos and branding are featured on the chest, sleeves, shoulders, and upper back of the hoodie, showcasing your support for the BWT Alpine Formula One Team.

What material is the hoodie made from?

The product description focuses on the features like ProTek finish and construction details (self-fabric hem/cuffs) rather than the specific base material composition. It is designed for comfort and durability.

Troubleshooting

Water-repellent finish seems less effective.

The ProTek finish can degrade over time with washing. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Consider using a specific fabric re-proofer spray designed for technical apparel, following its instructions carefully.

Hood is not providing adequate coverage.

Ensure the hood is pulled up fully. The fit can vary slightly based on head size and individual preference. The lining provides warmth and some wind resistance.

Logos or branding appear faded.

This can occur with excessive washing or improper care. Always wash according to the care instructions, inside out if possible, and avoid high heat drying or direct ironing on the logos.

Pocket feels insufficient for larger items.

The kangaroo pocket is designed for hands or small personal items like a phone or keys. For larger items, consider wearing a bag or jacket with more extensive storage.
