FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) rays when worn.

Is this shirt waterproof?

No, the Simms SolarFlex shirt is not waterproof. It is designed to be breathable and quick-drying, not to repel water.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

While it offers sun protection, its lightweight nature makes it best suited for warm or hot weather. For cold conditions, it can serve as a base layer for added sun protection, but it does not provide significant insulation.

How should I wash the shirt to maintain its UPF properties?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric's protective qualities. Tumble dry low or hang dry.

What colors are available?

This specific model is available in Bimini Blue and Earthenware.

What is the fit like?

The shirt is designed with a regular fit, featuring raglan sleeves for improved mobility. It is intended to be comfortable for active wear.

Does it have a warranty?

Simms typically offers a warranty on their products against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to the specific warranty information provided with your purchase for details.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels restrictive during movement

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The raglan sleeve design is intended for optimal range of motion; if it feels tight, the size may be too small.

Fabric is not drying as quickly as expected

Confirm that no fabric softener or harsh detergents were used, as these can impede moisture-wicking properties. Ensure the garment is not excessively dirty, which can also affect drying time.

Sun protection feels insufficient

Verify that the shirt is being worn as intended and covers the skin fully. Remember that UPF rating applies when the fabric is in contact with skin; loose-fitting garments may offer less consistent protection if they shift significantly.
