Full details

This Simms SolarFlex UV Protective Crew Neck Top is designed for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable sun protection during hot weather. Its key benefit is UPF 50+ sun defense combined with a lightweight, breathable design. A potential caveat is that while offering sun protection, it may not provide significant warmth in cooler conditions. Key features include advanced UV blocking, improved sleeve and cuff construction for enhanced coverage, and a comfortable, moisture-wicking fabric.

FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, providing excellent protection for your skin.

Is this shirt suitable for swimming?

While the fabric offers UV protection and dries quickly, it is primarily designed as protective apparel for outdoor activities rather than a dedicated swimwear material.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Simms sizing guide for detailed measurements. The shirt is designed for a comfortable, protective fit, so ensure you select the size that corresponds to your body measurements for optimal coverage and mobility.

Can I wear this shirt in cold weather?

This shirt is lightweight and designed for hot weather sun protection. It is not intended to provide warmth and is best layered under other garments in cooler conditions.

What colors are available?

The Simms SolarFlex UV Protective Crew Neck Top is available in Bimini Blue and Earthenware.

How should I care for the shirt to maintain its UV protection?

Follow the machine wash cold, mild detergent, and tumble dry low instructions. Avoid bleach and high heat, which can degrade the fabric and its UV-blocking properties over time.

Troubleshooting

Shirt feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart if unsure. The fabric has some stretch but is designed for a snug, protective fit.

Sunburn despite wearing the shirt

Verify that all areas of skin are covered by the shirt. Check that the garment is not excessively worn or damaged, which could compromise its UV protection. Ensure the UPF rating is still effective, as extreme wear may degrade it over time.

Shirt losing its shape after washing

Follow the recommended care instructions strictly, particularly regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat, which can damage fabric fibers.
