FAQs
What age is this set suitable for?
This specific Under Armour set is designed for infants, correlating to a UK children's size of 5-6.
Is this set suitable for all seasons?
While its moisture-wicking properties are great for active use, 100% polyester alone may not provide sufficient warmth in very cold conditions. It's best suited for moderate temperatures or as a base layer in cooler weather.
Can I iron this set?
No, ironing is generally not recommended for 100% polyester performance wear as high heat can damage the fibers, affect its wicking properties, or cause melting. If absolutely necessary, use a very low heat setting with a pressing cloth.
How durable is the material?
Polyester is known for its excellent durability, resistance to shrinking, stretching, and fading. With proper care according to the instructions, this set is designed to withstand regular wear and washing, maintaining its quality and performance.
What is the best way to prevent static cling?
To minimize static cling, avoid over-drying the garments in a tumble dryer. Using dryer balls or air drying the set can help. If tumble drying, ensure it's on a low heat setting and removed promptly.
Can this set be tumble dried?
Yes, it can be tumble dried, but only on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the polyester fabric. For best results and to prolong the life of the garment, air drying is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels clammy or retains moisture during activity.
Ensure the garment is being worn during appropriate activity levels; the sweat-wicking works best when there's actual sweat to move. Also, verify that no fabric softeners were used during washing, as they can coat fibers and hinder moisture wicking. A re-wash without softener might help.
Garment appears wrinkled after drying.
Polyester is prone to static cling and can wrinkle if left in the dryer for too long or on too high heat. Remove the set from the dryer immediately after the cycle finishes, or ideally, air dry flat to prevent wrinkles. Avoid high heat during drying.
Fabric seems to have a lingering odor even after washing.
Polyester performance fabrics can sometimes hold onto odors. To combat this, wash the set immediately after use. Consider using a sport-specific detergent designed for activewear, or add a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle (along with your detergent) to help neutralize odors.
Fabric feels rough or stiff after washing.
This can happen if too much detergent is used or if fabric softener was applied. Re-wash the garment with cold water and no detergent (or a very small amount), and ensure no fabric softener is in the dispenser. Air drying can also sometimes result in a stiffer feel compared to tumble drying on low.

Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance and longevity of your Under Armour set. Follow these guidelines for 100% polyester:
- Machine Wash Cold: Always wash in cold water with similar colors. Hot water can damage polyester fibers and affect the fabric's wicking properties.
- Use Mild Detergent: Avoid harsh detergents or those with fabric softeners, as softeners can clog the fabric's pores and reduce its ability to wick moisture.
- Do Not Bleach: Bleach will damage the material and fade the color.
- Tumble Dry Low or Air Dry: For best results, tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang to air dry. High heat can cause polyester to shrink, melt, or lose its shape and performance qualities. Remove promptly if tumble drying to prevent wrinkles.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing is generally not recommended for 100% polyester activewear. If absolutely necessary, use the lowest heat setting and place a cloth between the iron and the garment.
- Avoid Dry Cleaning: Dry cleaning chemicals can be harsh on performance fabrics.
