Product Information

Full details

This lightweight Simms SolarFlex UV Protective Crew Neck Top is designed for anglers seeking superior sun protection during hot summer fishing days. Its primary benefit is UPF 50+ sun defense, keeping you comfortable and safe. A potential caveat is that while it offers excellent sun protection, it is primarily a sun shirt and not intended for significant thermal insulation in cold weather. Key features include its UPF 50+ rating, lightweight fabric, and improved sleeve construction for enhanced coverage.

How should I wash this shirt?

Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron.

Can this shirt be worn in cold weather?

This shirt is optimized for warm weather and sun protection. For cold weather, it can serve as a base layer, but additional insulating layers would be necessary.

Does the fit allow for casting?

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that sleeves and cuffs are properly positioned for optimal fit and movement.

Fabric feels warm

This shirt is designed for sun protection in warm weather. For cooler conditions, consider layering with additional insulating garments. Ensure maximum airflow by leaving the collar unbuttoned if applicable.

Sunburn despite wearing the shirt

Verify that all exposed skin areas are covered by the shirt. While UPF 50+ is very high protection, prolonged direct exposure to intense sun, especially on exposed skin not covered by the garment, can still lead to sunburn. Ensure the fit is not too tight, which can stretch the fabric and potentially reduce its UPF rating.
