Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the Irish Army Quarter Zip Pullover made from?
▾
The pullover is constructed from 100 % recycled polyester, a fabric that is derived from post-consumer plastic waste. This material matches the performance of virgin polyester while reducing landfill impact, offering durability, quick-dry properties, and a softer hand feel compared with traditional synthetics.
Does the pullover provide UV protection?
▾
It features a UPF 50+ rating, meaning it blocks at least 98 % of harmful ultraviolet A and B rays. This level of protection is comparable to many dedicated sun-protective garments and is ideal for outdoor activities where prolonged sun exposure is expected.
How does the moisture-wicking technology work?
▾
The hydrophilic finish is engineered to pull moisture away from the skin into the outer fibers, where it spreads and evaporates more quickly. This wicking action keeps the wearer dry, reduces cling, and helps regulate body temperature during intense exercise.
Is the fit true to size?
▾
The pullover follows a regular fit, meaning it aligns with standard sizing charts. Most customers find the S-4XL sizes to be true to size, though those who prefer a tighter, compression feel may wish to size down, while a looser silhouette can be achieved by selecting the next size up.
Can I wear it in cooler weather?
▾
Yes, the lightweight polyester fabric provides enough insulation for mild to cool conditions, especially when layered under a jacket or hoodie. However, for very cold environments you’ll likely need an additional outer shell, as the pullover does not include wind-proof or thermal insulation features.
