Question 1

Do these shirts actually keep you cooler than wearing no shirt?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While it seems counterintuitive, a high-quality, light-colored performance shirt cools you more effectively. It wicks away sweat for evaporative cooling and blocks direct solar radiation from hitting your skin, keeping your core temperature lower.

Question 2

Why wear long sleeves in extreme heat?

Accepted Answer

Long sleeves are purely for sun protection. In intense heat, the #1 threat to your comfort and health is sunburn. Our ultra-lightweight, breathable long-sleeve shirts provide complete UPF 50+ protection without causing you to overheat, a trade-off that is essential for long days on the water.

Question 3

How do I wash a performance shirt without damaging it?

Accepted Answer

Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with like materials. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the technical fabric and reduce its moisture-wicking capabilities. Tumble dry on low heat or, for best results, hang to dry—they dry incredibly fast!
