Replace timing

For frequent travelers, the GSM (grams per square meter) of a Windbar tee is a reliable indicator of its durability and comfort. Heavier GSM tees (180+) tend to hold their shape and resist pilling longer, making them a better value for those who pack light and wash on the go. Knowing the early-life, mid-life, and end-of-life signs of wear can help you decide whether to repair, replace, or recycle your tee.
GSM 150–170 suits hot climates but wears faster; 180+ is more durable for travel.
Check for collar warping and fabric thinning around the shoulders as early wear signs.
If a tee has holes, permanent stains, or lost shape, replacement beats repair.
Recycle worn tees through textile programs or repurpose them as cleaning rags.
