FAQs
Does this shirt provide real sun protection?
Yes, it is tested to provide UPF 50+ protection, blocking the vast majority of harmful UV rays.
Can I use this for swimming in a chlorine pool?
Yes, but ensure you rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after each session to prevent the chlorine from breaking down the elastic fibers.
Is the fabric thick enough to keep me warm?
No, this shirt is designed for comfort and sun protection, not as a thermal layer for cold water.
How does the sizing run?
The shirt is designed for a comfortable, active fit. If you prefer a looser style, consider checking the size guide provided for your specific UK dress size.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with cold water and avoid harsh bleaches or fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels saturated after long sessions
Ensure the shirt is fitted properly; if too loose, it will hold excess water. Wring out gently after leaving the water.
Odors developing after frequent use
Soak in a solution of water and a small amount of white vinegar to neutralize bacteria, then wash as usual.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment does not require special setup; simply wear it as you would a standard performance tee. For optimal performance and longevity:
- Rinsing: Always rinse the shirt thoroughly in fresh, cool water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove chemical residues.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the moisture-wicking properties.
- Drying: Air dry out of direct, intense sunlight to prevent fading and maintain fabric elasticity.
- Storage: Ensure the shirt is completely dry before folding and storing to prevent mildew.
