Is this shirt suitable for cold weather?

Can I wash this in a standard machine?
Yes, machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid fabric softeners.
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 indicates that the fabric allows only 1/50th of UV radiation to pass through, blocking 98% of the sun's rays.

How should I store this shirt to keep it in top condition?

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels saturated after light sweating
Ensure the shirt is not being worn underneath a non-breathable outer layer; the moisture-wicking fabric requires airflow to release vapor.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide
Check the track for salt buildup or debris common in sailing environments. Rinse with fresh, lukewarm water and allow to dry completely.
Stitching irritation occurring during long hikes
Ensure the garment is the correct size. The flatlock seams are designed for minimal friction, so improper sizing may cause the seams to shift against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
