Product Information
Full details
The Animal Floral Pattern Rash Top is designed for water sports enthusiasts who require a technical, streamlined garment that balances sun protection with freedom of movement. Ideal for surfing, swimming, or paddleboarding, its primary benefit is a comfortable, chafe-free fit combined with integrated UV protection. While the slim-fit design is excellent for performance, potential buyers should note that the snug construction may feel restrictive if a looser, casual fit is preferred.

FAQs
Does this top offer real sun protection?
Yes, it is designed with integrated UV protection to help shield your skin from the sun during outdoor water activities.
Is this suitable for scuba diving?
While primarily designed for surface water sports, its slim fit and quick-dry properties make it a suitable base layer under a wetsuit.
How should I choose the right size?
The top is designed for a slim, technical fit. If you prefer more room for movement, you may want to consider your standard dress size or size up if you are between measurements.
Can I wash this in a machine?
It is highly recommended to hand-wash in cold water to maintain the integrity of the stretchy fabric and protective coating.
Will the colour fade in chlorine?
While the fabric is durable, rinsing immediately after use in chlorinated pools will help preserve the colour vibrancy significantly longer.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels loose after repeated use
Ensure you are rinsing the garment with fresh, cold water after every use, as salt and chlorine can degrade the elastic fibers.
Skin irritation at the neck or underarms
Verify that the flat seams are correctly positioned and that the garment size is not too small, causing excessive tension on the seams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Animal Floral Pattern Rash Top, it is essential to follow proper care guidelines. After every session in salt or chlorinated water, rinse the garment thoroughly in fresh, cold water to remove mineral deposits and chemicals. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the UV-resistant properties of the fabric. Lay the top flat to dry in a shaded area; avoid direct sunlight and tumble drying, as extreme heat can compromise the elasticity of the fibers. When choosing your size, remember that this is a slim-fit technical garment intended to sit close to the skin for maximum hydrodynamic performance.
