FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Q-Wic fabric?

The Q-Wic fabric is engineered to wick sweat away from your body, accelerate drying, and provide a lightweight, comfortable feel against the skin.

How does the anti-bacterial feature work?

It helps to repel odor-causing bacteria that can develop during exercise, keeping the jersey feeling fresher for longer.

Can I store my phone in the back pockets?

Yes, the three compartment back pockets are designed to hold essentials like a smartphone, though it's best to avoid overstuffing them.

Is this jersey suitable for cold weather?

This is a lightweight jersey designed for warmer conditions. For cold weather, it is best used as a base layer or paired with additional insulating layers.

How should I clean the jersey to maintain its features?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.

What does the autolock slider on the zip do?

The autolock slider on the full-length venting zip keeps the zipper in place once you have adjusted it, preventing it from sliding down unintentionally.

Are the reflective details durable?

The reflective detailing enhances visibility. Following the care instructions will help maintain their integrity over time. Avoid harsh washing or high-heat drying.

Troubleshooting

Jersey feels too warm

Utilize the full-length venting zip to increase airflow. Ensure the jersey is the correct size and not too tight, which can restrict ventilation.

Pockets feel insecure when full

Distribute weight evenly across the three back pockets. Avoid overloading pockets with very heavy or bulky items, which can cause them to sag.

Fabric feels slightly rough

Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. The Q-Wic fabric is designed to be soft and may require a wash cycle to achieve its optimal feel.
