SPF50+ protection
As the world’s first climate positive sportswear brand, Presca is dedicated to seeking out materials and production methods which epitomise our eco principles. Investing in unwanted, un-dyed, end-of-roll technical fabric meant we could create this limited run of base layer tops, which offer you the ultimate in comfort and sustainability.
• Squishable, super soft fabric.
• Raglan sleeve, flatlock seams, packable pocket and fast-drying for comfort and convenience.
• Excellent absorption for comfort in every weather, with a revolutionary skin moisturising effect.
In neutral, goes-with-everything egret, this base layer will probably be the most comfortable, feel-good garment you’ll ever wear. How can we be so sure? Because it’s made with a performance engineered yarn which provides superb comfort and softness, while also delivering on sustainability. The fabric is solvent-free, recycled and fully recyclable at the end of its life, plus washing it creates no microplastic pollution.

Washing the ‘Presca Way…’
We’ve put together a few tips about how you can reduce the environmental impact of your laundry.

Our sizing is taken from three main measurements.
Chest should be measured just below the armpits, with arms relaxed by your side (we recommend asking someone to help with this!).
Waist should be measured at the thinnest part of your torso (normally between your belly button and rib cage).
Hips should be measured at the largest part of your bottom.
