FAQs
What is UPF 50+?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 50+ rating means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering excellent sun protection.
How does the Moisture Movement Technology™ work?
This technology uses specialized fibers and fabric construction to pull moisture (like sweat) away from your skin and disperse it across the fabric surface, allowing it to evaporate quickly and keep you dry.
Can I wear this polo for everyday casual activities?
Yes, while designed for work, the comfort and technical features make it suitable for casual wear, especially if you value moisture management and sun protection.
What is the difference between this shirt and a standard cotton polo?
This shirt uses a technical pique blend with added properties for moisture-wicking, odor control, and UPF protection, which standard cotton polos typically lack.
How durable is the reinforced chest pocket?
The chest pocket is reinforced to withstand the stress of carrying small items, providing a secure and lasting storage solution for tools or essentials.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes, the shirt features stretch shoulder seams for enhanced mobility, and the technical pique blend itself offers a degree of stretch for comfort and fit.
Will this shirt shrink after washing?
Following the care instructions (machine wash cold, tumble dry low) should minimize shrinkage. The fabric blend is designed for durability and shape retention.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels less breathable than expected.
Ensure the garment is clean. Fabric softeners or residues can impede breathability. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Check if the shirt is a blend with a higher cotton percentage, which might feel different from 100% polyester technical fabrics.
Moisture-wicking performance seems reduced.
This can occur if the fabric is clogged with detergent, softener, or body oils. Wash the shirt using a small amount of detergent, without fabric softener, and rinse twice. Consider a specialized technical wash if the issue persists.
Odor control is not effective.
Ensure the shirt is washed promptly after wear. Persistent odors might indicate a need for a deeper clean. Try soaking in a solution of water and white vinegar for 30 minutes before washing, or use an enzyme-based sports detergent.
Fit is too restrictive in the shoulders.
Verify you are wearing the correct size. The stretch shoulder seams are designed for mobility, but if the overall size is too small, restriction may still occur.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
