Product Information
Full details
The Quiksilver Everyday Surf T-Shirt in Black is designed for individuals seeking comfortable and durable apparel for everyday wear, particularly during water activities. Its key benefit is the moisture-wicking technology combined with a chlorine-resistant fabric, ensuring you stay dry and the shirt maintains its integrity. A potential caveat is that while made with recycled yarn, the primary material is polyester, which may not appeal to those exclusively seeking natural fibers. This shirt is part of Quiksilver's Everyday collection, featuring a fine brushed fabric that is designed to resist stretching over time.

FAQs
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays when worn, offering excellent protection against sun damage.
Is this shirt made of cotton?
The description mentions a 'Cotton-Feel' but the primary material is polyester, made with recycled yarn. It is designed to mimic the feel of cotton while offering enhanced performance.
How do I know if it's suitable for swimming?
Yes, the shirt is chlorine resistant, making it suitable for swimming in chlorinated pools and durable enough for saltwater environments.
Will this shirt shrink in the wash?
The fabric is designed to resist stretching and maintain its shape. Following the cold wash and low tumble dry instructions should prevent significant shrinkage.
How do I care for the moisture-wicking properties?
To maintain moisture-wicking performance, avoid using fabric softeners and bleach. Wash in cold water and tumble dry on low heat. Ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly after use in salt or chlorinated water.
Can I wear this for everyday casual use?
Absolutely. The 'Everyday collection' designation and comfortable fabric make it suitable for a wide range of casual activities, not just sports.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels less breathable after several washes
Ensure you are washing with cold water and avoid fabric softeners, which can clog the moisture-wicking fibers. Check for any residue build-up and rinse thoroughly.
Color fading or wear after sun exposure
While the shirt has UPF 50 protection, prolonged direct sun exposure can eventually cause fading. Ensure the shirt is dried away from direct sunlight and follow care instructions carefully. Consider rotating with other tops for extended outdoor use.
Shirt seems to have stretched out of shape
The fabric is designed to resist stretching. If stretching has occurred, ensure you are not using excessive heat during washing or drying, and avoid hanging the shirt by the shoulders for extended periods. Try washing and drying according to instructions; the fabric may recover some shape.
