Question 1

Is a UPF shirt really better than just using sunscreen?

Accepted Answer

Think of it as more reliable. While sunscreen is essential for exposed skin like the face and hands, it can rub off, be applied incorrectly, or sweat away. A UPF 50+ shirt provides a consistent, physical barrier that blocks 98% of UV rays all day long. For best protection, we recommend both!

Question 2

Does the UPF protection wash out or fade over time?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not. The sun protection in our shirts comes from the special, tight weave of the fabric itself, not a chemical coating. This means the UPF 50+ rating is permanent and will last for the entire life of the garment.

Question 3

Won't my child get too hot in a long-sleeve shirt?

Accepted Answer

It's a common concern, but surprisingly, the opposite is true! Our performance fabric is engineered to be highly breathable and moisture-wicking. It pulls sweat away from the skin, creating a natural cooling effect. It's like personal air-conditioning that also blocks the sun.

Question 4

Is this shirt suitable for swimming, like a rash guard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! The lightweight, quick-drying material makes it a perfect 2-in-1 solution. Your child can wear it while fishing, jump in the water to cool off, and it will be dry again in no time.
