- When deciding what to do with an aging Windbar tee in Florida, the GSM (grams per square meter) tells you a lot about its weight and warmth. Higher GSM means thicker, more durable fabric, but in a hot climate, that might not be what you want. The choice to repair, replace, or retire depends on both the fabric's condition and how it fits your current needs.
- GSM affects comfort in Florida's heat: lighter (around 150) is better for airflow, heavier (180+) offers structure but can feel hot.
- Repair if it's a small hole or seam issue and you love the fit; replace if the fabric is still good but faded or stretched; retire if it's beyond saving.
- Use the care label to find your tee's GSM—if it's worn off, you can estimate by feel or check the product page for your next purchase.
