FAQs
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), offering excellent sun protection.
Is this rash vest suitable for cold water?
This rash vest is lightweight and primarily designed for sun protection. It offers minimal thermal insulation and is not intended for warmth in cold water. For colder conditions, a wetsuit or a thicker thermal rash vest would be more appropriate.
Can I wear this rash vest under a wetsuit?
Yes, the slim fit and smooth fabric make it suitable for wearing under a wetsuit. It can help prevent chafing from the wetsuit and adds an extra layer of sun protection when you're out of the water.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The rash vest should fit snugly but comfortably, similar to swimwear. It should not feel constricting, and your arms should move freely. Refer to the Animal sizing chart for specific measurements.
How often should I wash the rash vest?
It's recommended to rinse the rash vest with fresh water after each use to remove salt or chlorine. A machine wash with like colors in cold water is advisable after several uses or if it becomes visibly dirty.
What activities is this rash vest best suited for?
It is best suited for activities like swimming, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), kayaking, and general beach or pool use where sun protection is a priority.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the brand's sizing guide. The material does have some stretch, but proper sizing is crucial for comfort and movement.
Skin irritation or chafing
Although designed with flatlock seams to minimize chafing, ensure the vest is properly rinsed after each use to remove salt or chlorine residue. Make sure the fit is not too tight.
Reduced sun protection over time
Follow the care instructions diligently. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat, which can degrade the UPF properties of the fabric. Inspect the garment regularly for any signs of wear that might compromise protection.
