Men's Drought Shade Zip Neck

"A Heat-Shielding Option for Scorching Summer Mountains

When summer heat is intense, managing sun exposure becomes just as important as managing sweat.

The Drought® Shade Zip Neck is a base layer designed to do both. The fabric helps reduce heat from the sun while drying sweat quickly, keeping you comfortable during hot summer activities.

Yarn infused with titanium dioxide acts a bit like a sun umbrella, helping limit heat buildup inside the garment. The lightweight fabric also spreads sweat quickly so it can dry faster.

The result is a versatile piece that performs well not only during midsummer hikes but across a wide range of summer outdoor activities.

[Long-Lasting Heat Shielding and UV Protection]

The fabric uses a special yarn containing a high concentration of titanium dioxide, a material known for its heat-shielding properties.

Despite its extremely lightweight construction, the fabric provides *S35-class heat shielding performance comparable to a sun umbrella (JIS L 1951)**, along with UV protection blocking more than 95% of ultraviolet rays.

Because these functions are built directly into the yarn rather than applied as a surface treatment, the performance remains effective even after repeated washing.

*Heat-shielding performance is measured under test conditions. Actual results may vary depending on the environment.

[Spreads Sweat Quickly and Dries Fast]

The ultra-lightweight fabric has excellent moisture absorption and quick-drying performance, allowing sweat to spread quickly across the fabric surface and dry efficiently.

Even during the hottest hours of the day, it helps maintain a dry and comfortable feel while you’re on the move.

[Zip Neck for Easy Ventilation]

The deep zip neck allows quick adjustments while moving.

Open it during steep climbs for extra ventilation, or zip it up depending on sun exposure or wind conditions.

The overall fit includes a slight amount of room, creating space between the fabric and skin so air can circulate more easily inside the garment.

[Helps Reduce Visible Sweat Marks]

The fabric is designed to make sweat marks less noticeable.

Fibers containing titanium dioxide scatter light even when wet, helping reduce the appearance of darker sweat patches that often show up on lightweight fabrics.

[Thoughtful Details]

Slightly longer sleeves help protect your arms from the sun, while the stand collar provides added coverage around the neck. Together, these details offer extra reassurance and comfort during intense midsummer activities.

[Care and Usage Notes]

- To achieve both lightweight comfort and performance, this product uses a delicate knit fabric.
- Repeated friction, hook-and-loop fasteners, branches, or contact with hard objects may damage the fabric.
- Knit fabrics naturally tend to shrink slightly after repeated use and washing.
- Avoid tumble drying, as it may cause significant shrinkage."
