How should I wash this garment to preserve its breathability?

Wash at a maximum of 30°C. The golden rule for sportswear is to avoid fabric softener: it clogs the micro-pores of the fabric and blocks moisture wicking. Air drying is very quick — avoid the tumble dryer.

Does this t-shirt effectively wick away sweat during intense effort?

Yes, its synthetic fibres are designed to capture moisture and transfer it rapidly to the outside. The fabric dries extremely quickly, saving you from the unpleasant cold sensation caused by sweat during rest stops or on descents.

Does this t-shirt retain bad odours after exercise?

To limit this issue — common with synthetic fibres — our technical t-shirts feature a durable antibacterial treatment. It slows the growth of odour-causing bacteria, a real advantage on long outings.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers are won over by this lightweight, comfortable and breathable T-shirt, which wicks away sweat effectively: during a six-hour mountain trail, one customer felt neither dampness nor irritation. Many wear it for running, training, races or hiking, appreciating its pleasant fabric, airy feel in summer and minimal bulk in a bag. One customer even bought a second one. A useful tip: it comes up small, so choose one size larger.

Love the colour of the shirt - a true bright red. Well cut material, feels similar to the tank top in terms of weight. Dries quickly, the pocket is quite useful for lightweight items.

Translated review

I'm 1.75 meters tall and weigh 75 kg, with a bit of a belly, and I opted for the trail running t-shirt in size M. First of all, I want to emphasize that the cut of this t-shirt is really comfortable. It fits my figure perfectly, offering both comfort and freedom of movement, which is essential during outdoor runs. The blue color is simply gorgeous; it adds a touch of energy and freshness to my outfit. As for the fabric, it's incredibly soft. It wicks away sweat well, allowing me to stay comfortable even during long runs. I feel really good in this t-shirt, and I haven't experienced any irritation, even after several hours of exertion. In short, I wholeheartedly recommend this product. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking for comfort, style, and performance during their trail running activities. You won't be disappointed!
