FAQs

What is the primary function of the Lifa Stay Warm Technology?

Lifa Stay Warm Technology is designed to wick moisture away from the skin to the outer layers of the fabric, keeping you dry and comfortable during physical activity.

Can I wear this base layer for everyday activities, not just sports?

Yes, the Lifa Merino Midweight Crew is versatile and can be worn for everyday comfort in cold weather, providing warmth and breathability.

How does the 100% Merino wool exterior contribute to performance?

The Merino wool exterior provides natural insulation, breathability, and odor resistance, contributing to overall comfort and allowing for extended wear without washing.

What temperature range is this base layer suitable for?

This is a midweight base layer, suitable for moderate to cold conditions. For extreme cold, it's recommended to layer additional insulating pieces over it.

Is this garment suitable for sensitive skin?

Merino wool is known for its softness and is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin. The Lifa interior provides a soft layer against the skin as well. However, individual sensitivities can vary.

Can I machine dry this base layer?

No, tumble drying is not recommended. The garment should be air-dried to maintain the integrity and performance of the Merino wool and Lifa fibers.

What should I do if the care label is lost?

Follow the general care instructions provided: wash with like colors using a wool detergent, avoid fabric softener, and air dry. Do not tumble dry.

Troubleshooting

Base layer feels itchy.

While Merino wool is generally soft, some individuals may experience mild irritation. Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, which can soften the fibers. The Lifa interior is designed for softness against the skin.

Moisture not wicking effectively.

Check that the garment is not too tight, which can restrict airflow. Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and avoiding fabric softener, as these can impede the wicking properties. Wash the garment to remove any residue.

Odor persists after washing.

Ensure you are using a detergent designed for wool and that the washing machine is clean. Persistent odors can sometimes be stubborn; a second wash with a wool-friendly detergent might be necessary.
