FAQs

What is UA Tech™ fabric?

UA Tech™ is Under Armour's signature training fabric known for being quick-drying, ultra-soft, and providing a more natural feel than typical synthetic materials. It's designed to keep you cool and dry.

Is this top suitable for very cold weather?

The UA Tech™ 2.0 ½ Zip is lightweight and designed for breathability and moisture-wicking. While it's great for moderate temperatures or as a layer, it might not provide enough insulation on its own in very cold conditions. Additional layers would be necessary.

How does the fit run?

The product description states it has a 'loose' fit. This means it's designed for comfort and ease of movement, not a tight, compression feel. If you prefer a snugger fit, consider sizing down.

Can this be worn by girls?

While marketed towards boys and juniors, the unisex nature of the design and the focus on performance means it can be suitable for girls as well, depending on desired fit and style. Check the sizing carefully.

What is the main benefit of the half-zip design?

The generous ½ zip front allows for easy layering and quick adjustment of ventilation. You can zip it up for warmth or zip it down to cool off.

Are there specific washing instructions to maintain performance?

Yes, it's important to machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach only when needed, tumble dry low, and crucially, do not iron or use fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's wicking properties.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels less breathable or wicking after washing.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, as they can impede the UA Tech™ fabric's performance. Re-wash with a mild detergent and skip the softener.

Shrinkage after washing/drying.

Follow the care instructions carefully: use cold water for washing and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat settings.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the teeth might help.
