FAQs

Can I wear this shirt for activities other than surfing?

Yes, it is excellent for any high-exposure water sport, such as kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, or snorkeling.

Is the hood large enough to fit over a surf cap?

The hood is designed for a performance fit and may be tight over bulky surf caps, but it fits comfortably over the head or a low-profile cap.

What does '5oz' refer to in the description?

This refers to the weight of the fabric, indicating a balanced thickness that provides protection without being overly heavy.

How should I store the Lycra long-term?

Store it clean and completely dry in a cool, dark place to maintain the integrity of the elastic fibers.

Is this material eco-friendly?

The 'Eco' designation in the product name reflects Vissla's commitment to using recycled or sustainable polyester components in their construction.

Troubleshooting

The shirt rides up while surfing

Ensure the elastic loop at the front bottom hem is securely threaded onto your boardshort drawstring.

Fabric feels stiff after drying

This is often due to residual salt or sand; rinse thoroughly in fresh water and ensure the shirt is completely air-dried in the shade.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated hood provides superior neck and head coverage
  • Elastic boardshort loop keeps the garment in place during waves
  • Durable polyester construction stands up to saltwater wear
  • Lightweight 5oz fabric is comfortable for extended sessions
  • Clean, versatile heathered grey aesthetic

Cons

  • Material may take longer to dry than ultra-lightweight casual shirts
  • Fit is tailored for performance and may feel snug
  • Limited color options available in specific regions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Lycra, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after exiting the ocean to remove salt, sand, and mineral buildup. When drying, avoid direct, prolonged sunlight, as this can degrade the elasticity of the fabric over time. Instead, hang the garment in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

This shirt is compatible with most standard boardshorts; simply thread your boardshort drawstring through the elastic loop at the bottom hem of the shirt before tying your shorts. It is recommended to wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle if needed and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the synthetic moisture-wicking properties of the polyester.
