Yes, it features a UPF 50+ rating, which blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays.
Yes, the slim profile of this rash vest makes it an excellent base layer to prevent wetsuit rash.
The Ripcurl Classic Surf series uses standard sizing, but it is intended for a 'classic' performance fit, meaning it is designed to be snug against the body.
Hand wash in cold fresh water after every use. Do not use detergent, bleach, or fabric softeners.
While the materials are high-quality, constant exposure to harsh UV light and salt can eventually cause minor color fading. Proper rinsing helps extend the vibrancy.
Ensure you are following the rinse-only care instructions and avoiding high-heat drying, which can cause synthetic fibers to lose elasticity.
Soak the vest in cool, fresh water for 15-20 minutes and gently agitate the fabric to release trapped mineral deposits.
To ensure the longevity of your Ripcurl rash vest, proper care is essential. Always rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Avoid wringing out the fabric forcefully, as this can damage the fibers; instead, lay it flat or hang it in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to dry. Do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry the vest, as these methods will degrade the UPF protective coating and the elastic structure of the fabric.
