FAQs
Does this shirt provide real sun protection?
Yes, it is rated UPF 50, which blocks a significant amount of UVA and UVB rays.
Can I wear this in the ocean?
While it is designed for marine environments, it is a technical polo, not a dedicated swim shirt, though it will dry quickly if splashed.
Is the material stretchy?
The piqué construction offers a natural mechanical stretch that facilitates movement without relying on heavy elastane additives.
How should I store this garment to keep it clean?
Store hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent fiber degradation and maintain the shape of the collar.
Is this a slim-fit shirt?
No, this product features a regular fit, providing a more relaxed and comfortable silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Fabric retains odor after heavy use
Wash immediately after high-exertion activities using a sports-specific detergent to neutralize bacteria.
Visible wrinkles upon packing
Hang the polo in a humid environment (like a bathroom during a shower) or use a cool iron if necessary, though the fabric is designed to resist heavy creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a technical garment, the Ocean Polo 2.0 requires simple maintenance to preserve its moisture-wicking and sun-protective properties. Always machine wash the shirt in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the synthetic fibers and moisture-wicking treatments. To maintain the integrity of the fabric, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in the shade. The regular fit is compatible with standard sizing; refer to your usual shirt size for the best fit, as the cut is designed for comfort and mobility rather than a skin-tight feel.
