FAQs
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) rays when worn. This provides excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Is this shirt suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, while designed for watersports, its moisture-wicking and comfortable Cotton-Feel fabric make it suitable for everyday casual wear, especially in warm weather.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available on the product page or brand website. Measure your chest and compare it to the provided measurements for the best fit.
Can I wear this for running or other sports?
Absolutely. The moisture-wicking and UPF protection features make it a good choice for various outdoor activities beyond just surfing, including running, hiking, or cycling.
How should I care for the shirt to maintain its properties?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use a mild detergent, avoid bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning to preserve fabric integrity and UPF rating.
What is the 'Cotton-Feel' fabric?
Cotton-Feel refers to a fabric finish that mimics the soft, comfortable feel of cotton, but it is made from fine brushed recycled yarn. It offers performance benefits like moisture-wicking and durability.
Is this shirt quick-drying?
Yes, due to its moisture-wicking properties, the fabric is designed to dry quickly, keeping you comfortable even after getting wet.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels less soft after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can impact the fabric's wicking properties. Air drying can also help maintain softness.
Reduced UPF protection over time
Follow care instructions strictly. Harsh chemicals or excessive heat can degrade the UPF treatment. Ensure the fabric is not stretched excessively.
Chlorine odor persists after washing
Rinse the garment immediately after swimming in chlorinated water. A pre-soak in cool water before machine washing may help remove stubborn odors.
