FAQs
Is this garment waterproof?
No, it is designed for breathability and moisture management rather than as a waterproof shield against rain.
What is the primary material?
The midlayer is constructed from durable, high-performance polyester.
Can this be worn as a base layer?
While it is designed as a midlayer, the fabric is soft enough to be worn over a tank top or as a standalone top depending on the weather.
Does it have pockets?
The core design focuses on a minimalist, lightweight profile for maximum mobility; check the specific inner seams for any integrated stowage.
How should I choose the right size?
Refer to the brand's standard women's size chart to ensure the fit is consistent with your UK dress size (e.g., 8-22).
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is best to air dry to protect the performance fabric and maintain the elasticity of the material.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing damp during heavy exercise
Ensure you are not wearing a non-breathable base layer underneath, which can trap moisture against the skin.
Zipper is sticking
Check for loose threads around the zipper track and clean with a soft brush to remove any debris.
Loss of stretch over time
Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as excessive heat can break down the elastane fibers within the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always follow the care label instructions found inside the midlayer. Because of the synthetic composition, it is best to wash in cool water on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the stretch fibers. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can inhibit the performance of the IsoCool moisture-wicking treatment. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the shape and performance properties, although the garment is quick-drying by nature. For the best performance, pair this midlayer with a moisture-wicking base layer to maximize the effectiveness of the ventilation system.
