Troubleshooting

Shirt feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size by referring to the Simms sizing chart. Different sizes are available (Medium, Large, XLarge).

Fabric is not drying as quickly as expected

Verify that you are using a mild detergent and have avoided fabric softeners, which can impede moisture-wicking properties. Ensure the shirt is not overly saturated.

Sun protection seems reduced after several uses

Follow care instructions carefully, especially regarding detergents and heat. Harsh chemicals or high heat can degrade UPF rating over time. Hand wash gently if unsure.
