FAQs
Can this shirt be worn for activities other than swimming?
Yes, its moisture-wicking properties make it suitable for hiking, yoga, or any outdoor activity where you need sun protection and a breathable, lightweight layer.
Does this replace the need for sunscreen?
The shirt provides UPF 50+ protection for covered areas. You should still apply sunscreen to any exposed skin, such as your neck, face, and arms.
Is the fabric see-through when wet?
The fabric is designed for water use and is opaque, providing full coverage even when submerged.
How do I choose the right size?
The sizes correspond to standard UK women's dress sizes. Refer to the size you typically wear for athletic apparel.
Will chlorine fade the blue color?
While the shirt is designed for water use, rinsing it immediately after swimming in a chlorinated pool will significantly extend the life and vibrancy of the color.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels sticky or stiff after beach use
This is likely salt buildup. Thoroughly soak and rinse the shirt in cool, fresh water and let it air dry completely.
Shirt feels too tight during movement
Ensure you are wearing the correct UK dress size. If the shirt is pulling, verify if you are between sizes; the athletic nature of the fabric requires a precise fit to function correctly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of sun protection (UPF 50+)
- Dries quickly after submersion
- Lightweight and moisture-wicking material

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the UV protection and the fabric's elasticity, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the shirt in fresh, cool water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove chemical or salt residue.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking and UV-blocking coatings.
- Drying: Air dry the shirt in a shaded area away from direct sunlight. High heat from dryers can damage the stretch fibers and reduce the garment's lifespan.
- Fit: This garment is sized as a women's dress size (e.g., UK 16). Because it is intended for performance, expect a snug, body-skimming fit.
