FAQs
What is UPF 50?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB) when worn.

Yes, the shirt is chlorine resistant, making it suitable for pool use.
How should I care for this surf shirt to ensure longevity?
Rinse with cold, fresh water after each use. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, and tumble dry low. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
Can I wear this shirt under a wetsuit?
Yes, its smooth fabric and comfortable fit make it a good choice for wearing as a base layer under a wetsuit for added comfort and to help prevent chafing.
What is the primary material of this shirt?
The shirt is made with Stretchflight neoprene foam and features moisture-wicking properties.
Does this shirt provide UV protection even when wet?

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and not overloading the washing machine. Always rinse thoroughly after use. Avoid harsh detergents.
Reduced sun protection effectiveness.
Check the garment for any significant wear or damage. Ensure the fabric is not overly stretched, which can reduce its UPF rating. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric integrity.
Moisture-wicking seems less effective.
Over time, residues from detergents or fabric softeners can build up. Try washing with a mild detergent and no fabric softener, or use a vinegar rinse (1 cup white vinegar in the rinse cycle) to help strip residues.
