FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, providing excellent protection for your skin during extended outdoor exposure.
Is this shirt suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, while designed for performance, the comfortable fit and sun protection make it suitable for casual everyday wear, especially in sunny climates.
How does the moisture-wicking feature work?
The polyester fabric is engineered with a special weave that pulls moisture (sweat) away from your skin and disperses it across the fabric's surface, allowing it to evaporate more quickly and keep you feeling dry.
Why is the fabric made with recycled yarn?
Using recycled yarn is part of Quiksilver's commitment to sustainability, reducing the need for virgin materials and minimizing environmental impact during production.
Will this shirt shrink after washing?
The fabric is designed not to stretch out over time. Following the recommended care instructions (machine wash cold, tumble dry low) will help prevent significant shrinkage.
What is the difference between this and a cotton t-shirt?
This polyester blend is specifically designed for performance, offering superior moisture-wicking and UV protection compared to traditional cotton, which tends to hold moisture and offer less sun protection.
Troubleshooting
T-shirt feels less breathable than expected.
Ensure the garment is clean. Polyester, while moisture-wicking, can sometimes feel less breathable than cotton for some individuals in very high heat. Consider layering or opting for lighter activities in extreme temperatures.
Color appears to be fading.
Verify care instructions are being followed. Washing with cold water and avoiding harsh detergents can help preserve the color. The solution-dyed nature of the fabric is designed for colorfastness, but improper care can still affect it.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using the gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, which can sometimes affect the moisture-wicking properties. Tumble dry on low and remove promptly.
