Product Information
Full details
The Vissla Twisted Eco Long Sleeve is an essential piece of gear for surfers looking to protect their skin from UV rays and board rash while supporting sustainable manufacturing. This 5oz heathered surf tee is specifically engineered for aquatic performance, offering a balance of comfort and durability. While it provides excellent coverage, users should note that as a performance-fit garment, it is designed to sit close to the body, which may feel restrictive to those accustomed to loose-fitting streetwear.

FAQs
Is this a wetsuit?
No, this is a surf tee designed for sun protection and rash prevention; it does not provide thermal insulation like neoprene.
How should I wash it?
Hand wash with cold water and mild soap, then hang dry in a shaded area.
Does it provide UPF protection?
While the fabric provides a physical barrier, it is designed primarily as a surf-specific layer for coverage.
Can I wear this for activities other than surfing?
Yes, it is suitable for various water sports, including swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
What is the fit like?
It features a performance fit, meaning it is designed to be snug against the body to reduce water drag.
Troubleshooting
The shirt rides up during duck dives.
Ensure that you are utilizing the elastic loop at the front hem by threading your boardshort drawstring through it before tightening your shorts.
Fabric feels stiff after drying.
This is often due to salt residue. Ensure a thorough fresh-water rinse after use and avoid drying in direct, high-heat sunlight.
Pros and Cons

- Effective protection against rash and sun damage

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vissla Lycra, always rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after every surf session to remove salt and mineral buildup. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the spandex elasticity. When drying, always hang the garment in the shade; direct sunlight for extended periods can weaken the fibers and cause the colors to fade. The shirt is designed to be fully compatible with all standard performance boardshorts equipped with a front tie system for the elastic loop.
