Full details

Constructed from a premium blend of recycled polyester and spandex, this surf tee provides a secure fit during active sessions; however, users should note that as a 5oz weight garment, it is best suited for warmer water conditions rather than extreme cold.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this shirt suitable for cold water?

No, this is a lightweight 5oz surf tee designed for sun and skin protection in warm water, not for thermal insulation.

Can I put this in the dryer?

It is not recommended. Heat can damage the elastic properties of the spandex blend; always air dry in the shade.

What is the primary material used?

It is made from a blend of recycled polyester and spandex.

Does it provide UPF protection?

While the fabric provides a physical barrier, always check the specific product tag for verified UPF ratings if sun protection is your primary concern.

How do I secure the loop to my shorts?

Simply thread the loop through your boardshort's drawcord or eyelet before tying the strings to keep the hem in place.

Will the logo peel off?

The logo is screen-printed for durability, but rinsing with fresh water after use helps prevent salt buildup that can stress the print over time.

Troubleshooting

Shirt rides up during surfing

Ensure you are actively using the elastic loop at the front hem to anchor the garment to your boardshorts.

Fabric feels stretched out

Avoid drying the shirt in direct heat or using a tumble dryer, which can cause the spandex to lose its tension.

Salt buildup making fabric stiff

Soak the shirt in a basin of fresh water for 15 minutes and gently massage the fabric before air drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Twisted Eco Lycra, follow these guidelines:

  1. Boardshort Integration: Always utilize the elastic loop at the hem by threading it through your boardshort drawcord before tying your shorts.
  2. Rinsing: Immediately rinse the garment with fresh, cold water after every ocean session to remove salt crystals and chlorine that can degrade the spandex fibers.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shirt in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can weaken synthetic fibers over time.
  4. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle if necessary, but avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these chemicals compromise the material's elasticity.
