Full details
The Quiksilver Short Sleeve UPF 50 Surf T-Shirt in White is designed for active individuals seeking sun protection and comfort during water activities. Its key benefit is the UPF 50 rating, offering excellent defense against harmful UV rays. A potential consideration is that while made from Cotton-Feel recycled yarn, it may not offer the same stretch as purely synthetic performance fabrics.

FAQs
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB) when worn.
Is this shirt suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, while designed for water activities, its comfortable Cotton-Feel fabric and moisture-wicking properties make it suitable for casual everyday wear, especially in warm weather.
How is the 'Cotton-Feel' fabric different from regular cotton?
The Cotton-Feel fabric is made with recycled yarn and has a fine brushed texture, offering a soft feel similar to cotton but with added performance benefits like moisture-wicking and chlorine resistance.
Can I wear this shirt for intense physical activity like running?
While it offers moisture-wicking, it's primarily designed for water sports. For high-intensity running, a dedicated athletic shirt might offer better breathability and stretch.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for the most accurate measurements. The shirt is designed for a comfortable, slightly relaxed fit common in surf apparel.
Does the white color show sweat stains easily?
The moisture-wicking technology helps to pull sweat away from the skin, reducing the appearance of sweat stains. However, like any white garment, heavy perspiration may be more visible than on darker colors.
Troubleshooting
Shirt feels slightly stiff after washing
Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid direct high heat which can stiffen fibers.
Reduced moisture-wicking performance over time
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can clog fabric pores and reduce wicking capabilities. Wash periodically with a technical fabric wash if needed.
Color fading
Wash inside out in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Use detergents free of optical brighteners.
