Full details
This Quiksilver Short Sleeve UPF 50 Surf T-Shirt in Brown is designed for active individuals seeking sun protection and comfort during water activities.

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less breathable after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have avoided fabric softeners, which can clog fabric pores. Rinse thoroughly.
Shirt has lost its shape.
While designed to resist stretching, prolonged heavy stress or improper drying (like wringing vigorously) can affect shape. Ensure you follow care instructions, especially regarding drying.
Sun protection seems reduced.
UPF protection is inherent to the fabric weave. If the fabric is heavily worn or damaged, its protective qualities might diminish. Inspect for thinning or holes.
Chlorine smell persists after washing.
Rinse the garment thoroughly in cold water immediately after swimming in chlorinated water before machine washing. This helps remove chlorine residue.
