FAQs

What does the ProTek finish do?

The ProTek finish is a durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment applied to the fabric. It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, providing protection against light rain and keeping the wearer dry.

Is this hoodie suitable for heavy rain?

No, the hoodie is designed for light rain and splashes. It is not a waterproof jacket and should not be relied upon for heavy or prolonged rainfall.

How do I know if the branding is authentic?

Authentic branding is indicated by the presence of official BWT Alpine Formula One Team logos on the chest, sleeves, shoulders, and upper back, as specified in the product description.

Can I put this hoodie in the dryer?

Yes, you can tumble dry the hoodie, but it should be on a low heat setting to protect the fabric and the printed logos.

Will fabric softener affect the water repellency?

Yes, fabric softeners can degrade the durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment over time, reducing its effectiveness. It is recommended to avoid using fabric softeners when washing this hoodie.

What are the washing temperature guidelines?

The hoodie should be machine washed cold, ideally at 30°C (86°F).

Where are the team logos located?

The brand, sponsor, and Castore logos are located at the chest, sleeves, shoulders, and upper back, signifying it as authentic team kit.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

Clean the garment according to care instructions. Consider using a re-waterproofing spray designed for technical fabrics to restore the DWR treatment.

Logos are peeling or cracking.

This can occur with excessive heat or harsh washing. Ensure you are following the recommended low heat drying and low heat ironing settings. Avoid direct ironing on printed areas.

Hood is not providing adequate coverage.

Ensure the hood drawstring is properly adjusted for a snug fit. Check that the hood lining is intact.
