FAQs
What makes this shirt suitable for elite competition?
It uses advanced technical fabrics that provide mobility, breathability, and moisture management, combined with a design that complies with competition rules for a professional look.
Is the fit suitable for all body types?
The shirt features a relaxed fit designed for comfort and mobility. While it offers good coverage and freedom, riders seeking a very tight, body-hugging fit might find it less so.
How do I ensure the shirt stays looking smart?
Follow the care instructions carefully: machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, and iron on a low setting. The white color requires prompt attention to any potential stains.
Does the UPF50 protection wash out over time?
UPF protection in fabrics is generally durable, but prolonged exposure to harsh detergents or high heat drying can degrade it over time. Adhering to care instructions helps maintain the fabric's properties.
Can I wear this shirt for training as well as competition?
Yes, the technical features like moisture-wicking, breathability, and stretch make it very suitable for intense training sessions where comfort and performance are key.
What is the purpose of the tie keeper?
The tie keeper is a small loop or tab designed to hold a riding tie in place, ensuring it remains neat and secure under the collar during competition.
Are the comfort seams noticeable?
Comfort seams are engineered to lie flat and reduce friction against the skin, making them less noticeable than standard seams, thus enhancing overall comfort during extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels restrictive
Ensure the shirt is the correct size. The four-way stretch fabric is designed for mobility, but a size too small may feel restrictive.
Fabric not drying quickly
Verify that no fabric softeners were used during washing, as these can impede moisture-wicking properties. Ensure the garment is not overloaded in the washing machine.
Zip is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zip mechanism. Gently try to move the zip up and down. If problems persist, contact customer support.
Discoloration after washing
Ensure the garment was washed with similar colors and followed the recommended temperature settings. Avoid using harsh detergents.
