Zero Rules Light Ss Crew men's

Usage:

• Designed to keep the user cool and dry during intense physical activities in warm climates, such as hiking, fast hiking, and water activities, thanks to its cooling and moisture management technologies.
• Perfect for summer excursions and any adventure under the sun, as its sweat-activated cooling system helps combat heat when temperatures rise.
• Offers comfort on the move due to its lightweight fabric and active cut that promotes mobility, allowing the user to perform at their best without feeling weighed down by heat or humidity.
• The Columbia brand has developed this t-shirt to provide a technical and effective solution against overheating and discomfort caused by sweat in active and hot conditions.

Features:

• Omni-Freeze ZERO™ cooling technology, which is activated by perspiration through small blue rings that react with sweat to lower the fabric's temperature and provide an instant and prolonged cooling sensation.
• Omni-Wick™ moisture-wicking fabric, designed to efficiently pull moisture away from the body, dispersing it across the fabric surface for quick evaporation, keeping the user dry and comfortable.
• Side panels made with Omni-Wick™ fabric, strategically placed to enhance ventilation and sweat-wicking capacity in key areas, optimizing comfort during movement.
• Lightweight construction that minimizes the garment's weight, ideal for activities where every gram counts and agility is sought.
• Classic crew neck design offering a comfortable and versatile fit.
• Active Fit: A cut that fits close to the body without restricting, designed to facilitate mobility and performance in dynamic activities.

Materials:

• Main fabric composition: 100% polyester. This material forms the base of the t-shirt, providing lightness, durability, and excellent moisture management properties, being fundamental for the Omni-Freeze ZERO™ cooling technology.
• Side panel composition (with Omni-Wick™): Fabric with 52% recycled polyester and 48% polyester. This blend used in the side panels not only offers advanced Omni-Wick™ moisture-wicking capability but also integrates a significant component of recycled material, reflecting Columbia's commitment to reducing environmental impact.
