Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using the correct washing detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect the performance of technical fabrics.
Thumbholes feel restrictive.
This can be common with new items. Try gently stretching the thumbhole area while the fabric is damp. Ensure you have the correct size; if it's too small, the thumbholes might feel tight.
Sweat-wicking seems less effective over time.
Ensure the garment is washed regularly according to care instructions. Buildup from detergents or body oils can impede the Dri-FIT technology. Avoid using fabric conditioners.
