FAQs
Does this provide real sun protection?
Yes, it features a UPF 50 rating, which blocks 98% of the sun's harmful rays, offering superior protection compared to standard cotton shirts.
Can I wear this for activities other than surfing?
Absolutely, it is suitable for snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking, or any outdoor activity where sun protection and quick-drying fabric are needed.
How should this fit?
It should fit snugly against the skin. This prevents the fabric from creating drag in the water and ensures the material protects your skin from friction.
Is this machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable, but we recommend a gentle cycle with cold water to maintain the integrity of the stretch fabric.
Will the material stretch out over time?
The polyester material is designed for durability and shape retention, but proper rinsing after saltwater use is key to preventing fiber degradation.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels tight after drying
This is often due to residual salt or mineral build-up; rinse thoroughly in fresh water and gently stretch the fabric while damp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper care is essential to preserve the UPF rating and fabric elasticity. After each use in salt water or chlorinated pools, rinse the shirt thoroughly with cool, fresh water to remove residues. Avoid leaving the shirt balled up while wet, as this can lead to fabric deterioration. When washing, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and hang to dry away from direct sunlight, which can break down synthetic fibers over time. Store the shirt in a cool, dry place when not in use to ensure it remains ready for your next session.
