Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the Irish Army Quarter Zip Pullover made from?
▾
The pullover is constructed from 100 % recycled polyester, a single-fiber fabric that combines durability with a soft hand feel. The recycled content is derived from post-consumer plastic waste, helping to divert material from landfills while maintaining performance characteristics comparable to virgin polyester.
Does the pullover provide UV protection?
▾
Yes, the garment carries an UPF 50+ rating, which blocks at least 98 % of ultraviolet A and B rays. This level of protection is comparable to a high-quality sunscreen and is especially useful during long runs, cycling sessions, or outdoor training when sun exposure is prolonged.
How does the moisture-wicking technology work?
▾
The hydrophilic finish treats the polyester fibers to attract moisture away from the skin and spread it across the fabric surface, where it evaporates more quickly. This wicking action helps regulate body temperature, reduces clinginess, and keeps you feeling dry during high-intensity workouts.
Is the fit true to size across the size range?
▾
The pullover follows a regular fit with a self-mock collar and ribbed cuffs, and the size chart aligns closely with standard European measurements. Most customers report that the S through L sizes match their usual shirt size, while the XL and larger options provide a slightly roomier cut for broader shoulders.
Can I wash it in a regular machine?
▾
You can machine-wash the pullover on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat; tumble dry on low or lay flat to dry. The recycled polyester retains its shape and performance after repeated washes when proper care instructions are followed.
