FAQs
Is this tee suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, its lightweight and breathable nature makes it excellent for warm conditions, especially when used alone. For extreme heat, consider pairing it with other moisture-wicking layers.
How does the odour control treatment work?
The treatment is infused into the fabric to inhibit the growth of odour-causing bacteria, helping the garment stay fresher for longer between washes.
Can I wear this as a base layer in cold weather?
Absolutely. Its fast-wicking properties make it an effective base layer, moving sweat away from your skin to help keep you dry and warm underneath insulating layers.
What is the difference between Motiv Aero and other polyester fabrics?
Motiv Aero is a specialized polyester fabric designed for high-wicking and breathability, often featuring a unique yarn structure and subtle mesh for enhanced performance in active pursuits.
How durable is the fabric?
The 85gsm fabric is chosen for its balance of lightweight performance and durability for active use. However, like all technical fabrics, it should be cared for according to the instructions to maintain its properties.
What does 'regular fit' mean for this t-shirt?
Regular fit implies a standard cut that is neither too tight nor too loose, designed to accommodate movement without excessive fabric. It's a comfortable, everyday fit suitable for layering.
Troubleshooting
Tee feels damp after activity.
Ensure the garment is not too tight, which can impede airflow. Check that washing has not involved fabric softener, which can reduce wicking efficiency.
Odour persists after washing.
Wash with a technical fabric cleaner or an extra rinse cycle. Ensure the garment is fully dried, as residual moisture can encourage bacterial growth.
Seams feel irritating.
Verify the correct size is being worn. The micro active seams are designed for comfort, but an incorrect fit can still cause friction.
Fabric feels stiff.
Avoid using fabric softener during washing. Wash with similar synthetic technical garments.
