Castore Golf Flex Debossed Quarter Zip Long Sleeve Top - Blue - L

The ProTek technology offers water resistance, making it suitable for light rain or damp conditions. For heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

The top features a 'Regular fit'. Refer to standard sizing charts and consider your preference for layering. The product description notes this is a 'Regular fit' designed for comfort during golf swings.

While designed for golf, the lightweight, quick-drying fabric and freedom of movement offered by the raglan sleeves make it suitable for other activities like tennis or casual wear, though its specific features are optimized for golf.

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of UPF40+ means the fabric blocks at least 97.5% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing significant sun protection.

Follow the general care instructions for the garment. The heat debossed panel is integrated into the fabric and should withstand standard washing and drying procedures. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the debossed area.

The top is primarily made of 91% Polyester and 9% Elastane, which contributes to its lightweight, quick-drying, and stretchable properties.

The top features a stand collar with a quarter zip styling, meaning the zipper extends partway down the chest, typically to the sternum area, allowing for adjustable ventilation.

Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its water-repellent properties. Re-applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may help restore performance.

The UPF rating is inherent to the fabric's construction and should not diminish with proper care. Ensure the fabric is not stretched excessively, as this can expose more skin. Follow all washing and drying instructions to preserve fabric integrity.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper track. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth of the zipper to help it glide smoothly.

This can sometimes occur if residue from detergents or fabric softeners builds up. Try washing the garment again with a small amount of mild detergent and no fabric softener, rinsing thoroughly. Ensure it is dried properly according to care instructions.
