FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB) when worn.
How do I know if the loose fit is right for me?
The loose fit is designed for comfort and ease of movement. If you prefer a more form-fitting garment, consider trying a size down or looking for a different style.
Can I wear this shirt for running or gym workouts?
While the moisture-wicking properties are beneficial, the loose fit and design are optimized for water sports. For intense land-based cardio, a more athletic-fit shirt might offer better performance.
Is this shirt suitable for children?
This specific product is listed under men's sizing. Quiksilver often has separate lines or specific children's sizes available for their surfwear.
How does the moisture-wicking technology work?
The fabric's fibers are designed to draw sweat away from your skin to the outer surface of the shirt, where it can evaporate more quickly, keeping you dry.
Can this shirt be worn in the ocean?
Yes, it is ideal for ocean wear. It provides UV protection and is designed to withstand saltwater conditions.
What material is this shirt made from?
The shirt is made from a blend of 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, offering durability, stretch, and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels damp after prolonged activity
Ensure the shirt is not overly tight, which can impede moisture-wicking. Check care label; excessive heat during washing or drying can damage wicking fibers. Wash with like colors and avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce wicking efficiency.
Reduced UV protection over time
Proper care is essential. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive heat during washing and drying. If the shirt has been significantly worn or exposed to abrasive elements, its UPF rating may diminish. Consider replacing after extended heavy use.
Stitching coming undone
Inspect the garment for any loose threads. Minor issues can often be secured with a few hand stitches. For significant damage, contact the manufacturer for warranty information.
