Features
  • Breathable & Moisture-Wicking. The knit moves sweat away from your skin and keeps air flowing, so you stay dry and comfortable on warm, humid days.
  • Quick-Dry Performance. Lightning-fast dry times mean sweat, surf, or a sink-wash on the road won't slow you down.
  • HeiQ Fresh Odor Control. HeiQ Fresh treatment keeps funky smells at bay, so it stays fresher between washes.
  • 4-Way Stretch. Stretch built into every direction gives you total freedom of movement, then recovers its shape wash after wash.

Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question
How should I care for this shirt?

Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Skip bleach and fabric softener to protect the fabric and keep the fit true.

How does Free Fly sizing run?

Free Fly tops generally run true to size with an easygoing, classic fit. If you're between sizes, size up for a more relaxed look or down for a trimmer fit — and check the size guide on this page for exact measurements.

What does a UPF rating mean?

UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) measures how much UV radiation a fabric lets through to your skin. A UPF 20 fabric allows roughly 1/20th of UV through, while UPF 50+ blocks 98% or more. Unlike sunscreen, it doesn't wash off or need reapplying.
