Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Swimming T-Shirt is an essential garment for water sports enthusiasts, beach-goers, and travelers looking for a versatile layer that protects against the elements. It provides significant value through its UPF 50+ sun protection and moisture-wicking technology, ensuring comfort during high-activity sessions like paddleboarding or swimming. While the shirt offers excellent freedom of movement and quick-drying capabilities, users should note that as a lightweight swimming-specific garment, it is designed for athletic utility rather than heavy-duty thermal insulation.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this shirt provide warmth in cold water?
No, this is a lightweight swimming t-shirt designed for sun protection and movement, not as a thermal layer for cold water.
Can I wear this in a chlorinated swimming pool?
Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after each use to prevent the chlorine from damaging the fabric.
Does the UPF 50+ protection wash out?
The protection is integrated into the fabric design, but like all technical gear, it can gradually degrade with improper washing and extreme wear.
Is the fit true to size?
The shirt is designed with a comfort-fit that moves with you; if you prefer a looser fit for casual wear, you may consider sizing up.
Can I use this for non-water activities?
Yes, its moisture-wicking and UV-protective properties make it an excellent choice for hiking, running, or cycling on hot days.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels saturated after leaving the water.
Ensure the shirt is properly wrung out, as the moisture-wicking material works best when excess water is removed.
Stains from sunscreen or oils.
Pre-treat the affected area with a mild soap and cold water rinse before proceeding to a standard machine wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Mountain Warehouse Swimming T-Shirt, follow these care guidelines:
- Rinsing: Always rinse the shirt in cool, fresh water immediately after use in chlorinated or salt water to prevent chemical degradation of the fibers.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the moisture-wicking properties.
- Drying: Air dry in the shade. Direct sunlight or high-heat tumble drying can weaken the elastic fibers and reduce the lifespan of the material.
- Compatibility: The shirt pairs well with standard swim shorts or leggings. It is intended to be worn as a standalone piece or as an under-layer beneath a wetsuit if extra sun protection is required.
