FAQs
Is this shirt suitable for swimming in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, the fabric is constructed to be resistant to chlorine degradation, making it suitable for pool and ocean use.
Does UPF 50 mean I don't need sunscreen?
The shirt provides excellent protection for the covered area, but you should still apply sunscreen to any exposed skin, such as your neck or lower back.
How should I store the shirt?
Store it lying flat or folded in a cool, dry place once it is completely dry.
Can I put this shirt in the dryer?
It is not recommended to use a machine dryer, as high heat can damage the elastic fibers and reduce the sun protection effectiveness over time.
Will the color fade in the sun?
While the fabric is high quality, any garment exposed to intense UV rays and saltwater may experience gradual fading. Rinsing in fresh water after every use helps minimize this.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels too tight
The garment is intended for a compressive fit for performance; ensure you have checked the sizing guide against your measurements before purchase.
Salt residue remains after washing
Soak the shirt in a basin of cool, fresh water for 15 minutes before rinsing to ensure all salt crystals are removed from the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Roxy surf shirt, avoid contact with harsh chemicals like sunscreens with high oil content, as these can degrade the fabric's integrity over time. After every use in the ocean or pool, rinse the garment thoroughly in fresh, cold water to remove salt or chlorine residues. Hang the shirt in a shaded area to air dry; avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause premature fading of the fabric color. Do not wring out the shirt, as this can damage the elasticity of the fibers.
