FAQs
Is the DLX Lawrie windproof?
The fabric is designed for breathability and moisture management; it is not windproof and should be paired with a windbreaker in exposed, high-wind conditions.
Can I wear this as a base layer?
Yes, the moisture-wicking properties make it an excellent base layer for hiking or cold-weather active sports.
How do the pockets hold up with heavy items?
The pockets are designed for small essentials. Avoid placing heavy items in them, as this may cause the fabric to sag during vigorous movement.
Is the fabric prone to pilling?
Like most technical synthetic fabrics, avoid rubbing against abrasive surfaces like rough rock faces or Velcro to prevent pilling.
Does the antibacterial treatment wash out?
While the treatment is durable, its effectiveness may gradually decrease after numerous intensive wash cycles.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels saturated with sweat
Ensure you are not wearing a non-breathable waterproof jacket directly over the top. Try using a more breathable shell to allow the moisture-wicking process to complete.
Zipper feels stiff or sticks
Clean any debris or dried mud from the zipper track. If it persists, use a small amount of graphite or a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the DLX Lawrie, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can clog the moisture-wicking pores of the technical fabric.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to maintain the integrity of the fibers. If you must use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting.
- Compatibility: This top is designed to work seamlessly with DLX waterproof shells or windbreakers, as the streamlined fit avoids bunching under additional gear layers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the garment is completely dry before folding to prevent moisture accumulation.
