Built for the Ocean, Ready for the Sun
The Quiksilver Waterman Gut Check SS UPF 50 Surf Tee is part of the Waterman Collection, a line built for people who spend serious time on the water. Where most casual tees leave your skin exposed, this shirt integrates UPF 50 sun protection directly into a recycled polyester blend Shield Fabric, so coverage is always on whether you remember sunscreen or not.
The construction starts with a 90% recycled polyester, 10% elastane blend that delivers stretch where you need it and holds its shape session after session. Chlorine-resistant properties make it a natural fit for pool training, boat decks, and any environment where saltwater or pool chemistry would break down a lesser shirt. Moisture-wicking properties pull sweat away from the skin to keep you comfortable from first paddle to last wave.
Waterman Collection
The Waterman Collection from Quiksilver is designed for the outdoor water enthusiast who needs gear that moves between surf, fishing, paddling, and everyday wear without missing a beat. The Gut Check SS carries the Quiksilver Waterman Collection badge on the back, a mark of the line's ocean-focused ethos: inspired by the ocean, made for the outdoors.
Fit and Feel
The Gut Check SS is cut in a loose fit, giving you room and comfort across the shoulders and through the torso. That extra space lets you paddle, cast, or reach without restriction while keeping airflow moving close to the skin. The short-sleeve design keeps things light in South Florida heat while the Shield Fabric's UPF 50 rating means covered skin is protected skin.
