It provides critical UV 50+ sun protection and stays securely in place during active movement thanks to its clever anchoring system, though users should be aware that the nylon fabric requires proper rinsing after contact with salt or chlorine to maintain its elasticity.

FAQs
Does this provide real sun protection?
Yes, it is rated UV 50+, which blocks the vast majority of harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Can I use this for swimming in a pool?
Yes, the material is suitable for chlorinated water, though you should rinse it thoroughly after each swim to preserve the fabric.
What if it gets sand in it?
Rinse the fabric inside out with fresh water until all sand particles are removed to prevent abrasion.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, it is constructed from high-quality nylon with built-in elasticity for a comfortable, snug fit.
Should I size up for a looser fit?
Rashvests are designed to be form-fitting for performance. While you can size up for personal preference, it may affect the effectiveness of the silicone gripper.
Troubleshooting
Garment rides up during activity
Ensure the silicone waistband is flush against your skin and utilize the boardshort loop to anchor the vest to your bottoms.
Sleeves slide up the arms
Check that your thumbs are fully inserted into the elasticated thumb loops before starting your session.
Material feels stiff or sticky
This is often due to residual salt or sunscreen. Thoroughly hand wash with mild soap and cold water to restore fabric feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Gul Rashvest, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: Simply pull on the garment like a standard long-sleeve base layer. Ensure the thumb loops are secured before beginning your activity.
- Compatibility: The integrated boardshort loop is compatible with most standard swim and surf shorts that feature a rear attachment point.
- Care: Always rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after use in salt or chlorinated water to remove chemical or salt deposits. Air dry in the shade, avoiding direct heat sources or radiators which can degrade the elastic properties of the nylon fabric.
