Patagonia Long Sleeved Self Guided UV Protective Sun Shirt - Green - S

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 40+ means the fabric will block at least 97.5% of the sun's harmful UV rays when worn.

Yes, the quick-drying recycled polyester fabric makes it suitable for swimming and other water activities. However, it is designed for sun protection rather than buoyancy or thermal insulation in water.

The shirt is available in sizes Small (S) through Extra Large (XL).

This specific model is available in Gumtree Green, Caper Green, and Blue Sage.

While it offers some basic warmth, it is primarily designed for sun protection in warmer conditions. For significant cold, layering would be necessary.

Machine wash cold with like colors using powder detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and high heat drying. Tumble dry on low and iron on a cool setting if needed.

This particular listing is for a unisex adult size. Please check other listings for specific gendered models if available.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The stretchy fabric should allow for a full range of motion; if not, consider trying a different size.

Verify that no fabric softeners were used during washing, as these can impede drying performance. Ensure the washing machine's spin cycle is set appropriately.

Always wash with like colors in cold water and avoid direct sunlight for drying. Follow the care label instructions precisely.
