FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the UPF 50+ protection?
The UPF 50+ rating means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, significantly reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage during prolonged outdoor exposure.
Are these shorts suitable for casual wear, or only for fishing?
While optimized for on-water performance, their comfort, quick-drying nature, and sun protection make them suitable for a range of casual outdoor activities like hiking, camping, or beach trips.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the Simms official sizing chart, paying close attention to waist and inseam measurements. The added stretch provides some flexibility, but a correct base size is crucial for comfort and performance.
What colors are available for the Superlight UV Protective Shorts?
These shorts are available in Burnished Clay and Shale.
Can I wear these in saltwater and freshwater?
Yes, the materials are designed to perform well in both saltwater and freshwater environments. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use to maintain fabric integrity.
How does the added stretch affect the fit?
The stretch provides greater flexibility and comfort, allowing the shorts to move with your body rather than restricting movement. This is especially beneficial during active pursuits.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or restrictive
While designed with stretch, ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the Simms sizing chart and consider the specific measurements for XXL. If a size exchange is needed, consult the retailer's policy.
Fabric not drying as quickly as expected
Ensure the garment is not overloaded in the dryer and that any fabric softener has not been used, as these can impede drying performance. Hang drying in a well-ventilated area is also effective.
Sun protection seems reduced after multiple washes
UPF protection is inherent to the fabric and should not degrade significantly with proper care. Check for any damage to the fabric itself. If performance is genuinely diminished, contact Simms customer support.
