FAQs

Is this shirt suitable for cold weather?

No, it is engineered for warm and sunny conditions. It provides minimal thermal insulation.

Can I wash this in a standard machine?

Yes, machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners.

What does UPF 50 mean?

UPF 50 indicates that the fabric allows only 1/50th of UV radiation to pass through, blocking 98% of the sun's rays.

Does the fabric stretch?

Yes, the synthetic blend is designed to offer a full range of motion suitable for active sports.

How should I store this shirt to keep it in top condition?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels saturated after light sweating

Ensure the shirt is not being worn underneath a non-breathable outer layer; the moisture-wicking fabric requires airflow to release vapor.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide

Check the track for salt buildup or debris common in sailing environments. Rinse with fresh, lukewarm water and allow to dry completely.

Stitching irritation occurring during long hikes

Ensure the garment is the correct size. The flatlock seams are designed for minimal friction, so improper sizing may cause the seams to shift against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Tech Half-Zip 2.0, follow these care guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine wash in cold water. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the technical polyester.
  • Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain the integrity of the fabric's performance tech. If using a machine, select a low-heat, delicate cycle.
  • Compatibility: This garment functions best as a base layer under a lightweight windbreaker or rain shell, or as a primary shirt during high-heat activities. It is designed with a regular fit that complements standard outdoor gear.
