Product Information
Full details
The Vissla Twisted Eco L/S Lycra is designed for surfers and water sports enthusiasts who require reliable skin protection during long sessions in the sun. This 5oz heathered surf tee provides a balanced blend of comfort and durability, featuring a sustainable construction that appeals to environmentally conscious athletes. While it offers excellent coverage, users should note that as a performance-oriented lycra, it provides a snug, compression-like fit, which may feel restrictive if you prefer looser-fitting apparel.

FAQs
Is this product true to size?
Yes, it is designed to have a standard, snug performance fit intended for water activity.
Can this be worn in a swimming pool?
Yes, but ensure you rinse it with fresh water immediately after leaving the pool to remove chlorine, which can degrade the fabric.
What is the primary material used?
The garment is made from high-quality, sustainable polyester.
Does it provide UV protection?
The long-sleeve design provides a physical barrier against UV rays, though you should always use sunscreen on exposed areas.
How do I secure the boardshort loop?
Simply feed the elastic loop at the bottom hem through your boardshort's drawstring and pull the drawstring through the loop before tying your shorts.
Troubleshooting
Shirt rides up during surfing
Ensure the front elastic loop is securely attached to the drawstring of your boardshorts before entering the water.
Fabric feels stiff or scratchy after use
This is likely due to salt crystal buildup. Rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh water and mild soap to restore the softness of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always rinse the lycra thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove abrasive minerals and chemicals. When drying, avoid direct sunlight, which can degrade the synthetic fibers and fade the logo; instead, lay it flat in a shaded, well-ventilated area. The shirt is designed to be worn over the skin and is compatible with most standard boardshorts featuring a waistband drawstring. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the integrity of the elastic loop and the moisture-wicking properties of the polyester fabric.
