Product Information

Full details

The Vissla Twisted Eco Long Sleeve Lycra is designed for surfers and water sports enthusiasts who require reliable skin protection without sacrificing sustainability. Crafted from a blend of 85% recycled polyester and 15% spandex, this 5oz heathered surf tee offers a comfortable, lightweight fit that guards against sun exposure and board irritation. While it provides excellent coverage and durability for long surf sessions, users should be aware that its snug fit is optimized for performance, which may feel restrictive to those preferring a looser, lifestyle-oriented shirt.

FAQs

Is this shirt suitable for swimming or just surfing?

It is perfectly suitable for all water sports, including swimming, bodyboarding, and snorkeling, due to its lightweight and quick-drying nature.

Does this Lycra provide SPF protection?

While the dense weave of the polyester provides a physical barrier against UV rays, it is always recommended to apply sunscreen to skin not covered by the garment.

How should I store the Lycra between sessions?

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is completely dry before folding to prevent mildew.

Can I machine wash this shirt?

It is recommended to hand wash in cold water with mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the screen-printed logo.

What is the primary material used?

The shirt is made from 85% recycled polyester and 15% spandex.

Troubleshooting

The shirt rides up while paddling

Ensure the elastic loop at the front hem is securely fastened to the string or waistband of your boardshorts.

Fabric feels lose after repeated use

Avoid washing in hot water or using a dryer, as heat breaks down the spandex fibers that provide the shirt's 'snap-back' memory.

Irritation occurs around the neck or arms

Check that the shirt is rinsed thoroughly of all salt crystals, which can act as an abrasive agent against the skin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sustainable construction using recycled materials
  • Effective UV protection for skin safety
  • Secure fit prevents unwanted movement during surfing
  • Quick-drying polyester blend
  • Low-profile aesthetic suitable for multiple water activities

Cons

  • Form-fitting design may feel too tight for casual wear
  • Limited color options
  • Requires proper rinsing to maintain fabric elasticity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your garment, follow these setup and maintenance guidelines. When heading to the beach, simply pull the shirt on before entering the water; for maximum security, use the front hem loop to tether the Lycra to your boardshorts. After each session, it is critical to rinse the shirt thoroughly with fresh, cold water to remove salt, sand, and sunscreen residue, as these elements can degrade the elasticity over time. Always hang the shirt to dry in the shade, as direct, prolonged UV exposure can cause the fabric to fade and the synthetic fibers to lose their structural integrity. Do not use bleach or tumble dry, as high heat will damage the spandex fibers.
