Learn how to wash and care for your Trailblazer Tee to keep its quick-dry fabric looking great. Simple steps for travel and everyday use.

Quick Answer

Wash your Trailblazer Tee in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air dry to preserve its soft feel and quick-dry performance. Avoid fabric softener and high heat.

Why Care Matters for Performance Tees

The Trailblazer Tee is designed for adventure—whether that's a weekend camping trip or a hammock nap by the lake. Its lightweight, quick-dry fabric works best when you treat it right. Harsh detergents, hot water, or a hot dryer can break down the fibers over time, reducing breathability and comfort.

A little extra care keeps the print vibrant and the fabric feeling soft against your skin. This guide covers the simple steps to maintain your tee for many trips to come.

Step-by-Step Washing and Care Guide

  1. Step 1: Turn the Tee Inside Out: Before washing, turn the Trailblazer Tee inside out. This protects the front print from rubbing against other clothes or the machine drum. Common mistake: washing right-side out can cause the graphic to fade or peel over time.
  2. Step 2: Use Cold Water and Gentle Cycle: Set your washing machine to cold water and a gentle or delicate cycle. Hot water can shrink the fabric and weaken the fibers. Use a mild liquid detergent—avoid bleach or fabric softener. Checkpoint: fabric softener coats quick-dry fibers, reducing moisture-wicking ability.
  3. Step 3: Air Dry or Use Low Heat: Lay the tee flat or hang it to air dry in a shaded area. If you must use a dryer, select the lowest heat setting and remove the shirt while it's still slightly damp to prevent shrinkage. Common mistake: high heat can permanently shrink the tee and damage the elastic in the collar and cuffs.
  4. Step 4: Store Folded, Not Hung: Fold the Trailblazer Tee and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Hanging for long periods can stretch the neckline. For travel, roll it tightly to save space and reduce wrinkles. Checkpoint: a rolled tee packs smaller and resists creases better than a folded one.
