Materials:

• Main fabric (composition may vary by color): 100% cotton jersey. This single knit fabric is highly valued for its exceptional softness to the touch, providing a very pleasant and comfortable sensation directly on the skin. Cotton is a natural material known for its high breathability, which allows for good air circulation and helps keep the body cool and comfortable, especially in warm climates. Additionally, it has good moisture-wicking capacity, which contributes to overall comfort during daily use and low-intensity activities.
• Main fabric (composition may vary by color): Jersey blend composed of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. This fiber combination is designed to unite the best qualities of both materials. The 60% cotton ensures that the garment maintains good softness and breathability, while the 40% polyester significantly improves the fabric's durability, its resistance to wear and tear, wrinkling, and facilitates faster drying compared to pure cotton. This blend seeks to offer an optimal balance between natural comfort and practical performance for everyday use and easier maintenance.
• Both fabric variants are selected by Columbia to ensure an easy-care garment with a pleasant feel and lasting comfort, maintaining the quality and style that characterizes the brand in its casual wear.
