FAQs
What does 'UltraWeave' mean for the fabric?
UltraWeave refers to Puma's technology for creating an exceptionally lightweight and durable fabric, designed to feel almost unnoticeable when worn during intense activity.
Is this vest suitable for very cold weather?
The vest is optimized for warm weather and moisture management. For cold weather, it is best used as a base layer or worn in milder cool conditions, with additional layers for significant cold.
How does the dryCELL technology work?
dryCELL is Puma's designation for moisture-wicking fabrics that draw sweat away from the skin to the outer surface of the garment, where it can evaporate more quickly, helping you stay dry and comfortable.
Can I wear a sports bra under this vest?
Yes, the performance fit is designed to accommodate a sports bra underneath. The crew neck offers adequate coverage.
What is the environmental impact of this vest?
The vest is made with at least 50% recycled materials, contributing to Puma's efforts to reduce environmental impact.
How should I care for the bonded seams?
Follow the standard care instructions: machine wash cold, avoid high heat drying, and do not iron. These steps will help maintain the integrity of the bonded seams.
What does 'performance fit' imply?
A performance fit is generally a closer, more athletic cut designed to reduce drag and allow for freedom of movement without excess fabric. It is typically snugger than a relaxed fit.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels damp after a short run.
Ensure the dryCELL technology is functioning correctly. Wash the vest according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners which can block wicking capabilities. Consider if the intensity of your run is exceeding the typical performance range for this garment.
Chafing occurs despite bonded seams.
While bonded seams minimize chafing, individual sensitivities and body types vary. Ensure the fit is correct (performance fit means it should be snug). Applying a lubricant like Body Glide to common chafe points can provide additional protection.
Vest loses its shape after washing.
Follow the care instructions strictly, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Avoid high heat during washing or drying, and opt for line drying when possible to maintain the garment's structure.
