Product Overview
The Finden & Hales LV242 Kids performance panel t-shirt is a well-engineered garment specifically designed to meet the demands of active youth. This isn't just a standard t-shirt; it is constructed from high-performance polyester birdeye mesh, which ensures the wearer stays comfortable during intensive physical activities. The design features a contemporary fit with contrasting side panels and piping, providing a professional athletic appearance that stands out on the field or in the sports hall.
Key Features
- Raglan Sleeves: These sleeves are designed to provide an increased range of motion, allowing young athletes to move their arms freely without the restriction of a standard shoulder seam.
- Permanent Wicking Fabric: The moisture-management technology is built into the fibres, ensuring it won't wash out. This pulls perspiration away from the skin to the surface of the fabric for rapid evaporation.
- Contrast Side Panels: The addition of self-fabric panels with piping provides a modern, sporty aesthetic that is ideal for team branding and visual identity.
- Classic Crew Neck: A comfortable and familiar neckline that provides a secure fit during high-energy activities.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester birdeye mesh, this lightweight fabric is chosen for its superior breathability. The mesh structure allows for maximum airflow, which is critical for temperature regulation when kids are most active. Because it is a synthetic performance fabric, it is inherently more resistant to shrinking and fading than traditional cotton alternatives, making it a practical choice for heavy-use school or club environments. The contemporary fit ensures it looks sharp without being overly restrictive, balancing style with essential functionality.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The LV242 is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a formal club or school identity, we recommend embroidery for logos on the chest; it provides a durable, textured finish that withstands repeated laundering. If you require large-scale graphics, such as team names or sponsor logos across the back, our high-quality printing process is the superior choice. Our experienced in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with precision and longevity in mind.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is perfectly suited for junior sports teams, school PE uniforms, and extracurricular clubs. Its performance properties make it ideal for football, athletics, or any activity where moisture control and freedom of movement are required. It is also a popular choice for youth event merchandise and summer camps due to its quick-drying nature.

Practical Advice
The sizing for this garment ranges from 3/4 years up to 13/14 years. Given the active nature of the t-shirt, we recommend checking the size guide to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for growth and movement. For outdoor sports in cooler weather, this lightweight garment serves as an excellent base layer that can be easily worn under a track jacket or sweatshirt.
Caring for your product
To ensure the technical performance and custom branding of this t-shirt remain intact, it is important to follow the care instructions carefully. Proper maintenance will extend the life of the garment and keep it looking its best.
We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C using a synthetic cycle. This temperature is effective for removing dirt while protecting the integrity of the polyester fibres. Washing dark colours separately is essential to prevent any potential colour transfer.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will damage the technical wicking properties and degrade the fabric. Similarly, do not dry clean this garment, as the harsh chemicals can ruin the finish and any applied print or embroidery.
When drying, use a low temperature setting on your tumble dryer. Excessive heat can cause synthetic fabrics to warp or shrink. If ironing is required, use a cool setting on the reverse of the garment to avoid direct contact with the mesh or the customisation, which could melt or peel under high heat.
