FAQs

What is the UPF rating of this rash vest?

This rash vest provides UPF 50+ sun protection, which blocks over 98% of harmful UV radiation.

How do I know if I'm choosing the right size?

We recommend measuring your child's chest and height and comparing it to the size chart provided. The fit should be snug but not restrictive.

Can this rash vest be worn for swimming?

Yes, it is designed for water activities and provides excellent sun protection while swimming. The fabric is quick-drying and comfortable in water.

What is the benefit of the full lining?

The full lining enhances comfort against the skin, prevents chafing, and adds an extra layer of protection against the sun and abrasive surfaces.

How should I wash and care for the rash vest?

Hand wash in cold water with mild soap or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water. Rinse after use in chlorinated or saltwater. Lay flat to dry in the shade. Do not bleach or iron.

Is the front zip safe for children?

The front zip is designed for practical dressing and undressing. Ensure it is fully zipped up during wear for maximum coverage and comfort. It is a standard, safe zipper application.

What material is the rash vest made of?

The rash vest is crafted from durable, high-quality fabric, typically a blend of polyester and elastane, designed for swimwear.

Troubleshooting

Rash vest seems too tight or loose.

Refer to the size guide and measure your child carefully before purchasing. If the fit is not ideal, consider exchanging for a different size. Ensure the front zip is fully closed for a snug fit.

Color fading after a few washes.

Always rinse the rash vest in cold, fresh water immediately after use in chlorinated pools or saltwater. Wash inside out in cold water with mild detergent and dry in the shade. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.

Chafing occurs despite the lining.

Ensure the garment fits correctly without being too tight. Check for any loose threads or rough seams inside the vest that might be causing irritation. Wash the garment as per care instructions; sometimes, new fabric can be stiff.
