FAQs

Does this vest provide protection against both UVA and UVB rays?

Yes, the UPF rating indicates protection against both types of ultraviolet radiation.

Can I wear this under a wetsuit?

Absolutely. It works as an excellent base layer to prevent wetsuit rash and provide extra comfort.

How should I wash this garment?

Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fabric.

Is the material eco-friendly?

Yes, it is constructed using an eco-friendly polyester blend.

Will this vest stretch out over time?

The high-quality polyester is designed to retain its shape and elasticity over many uses.

Is this vest suitable for non-water sports?

While designed for water, the UPF and moisture-wicking properties make it useful for any outdoor activity where sun exposure is a concern.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels overly tight or restrictive

The vest is designed as a performance fit. If it feels restrictive, try stretching the fabric gently or consider sizing up for future purchases.

Vest remains damp after drying

Ensure the vest is hung in an area with good airflow. Avoid drying it bunched up or inside a gear bag, as this prevents moisture from escaping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Ripcurl Streamline Rash Vest, rinse it with fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Always hang the vest to dry in a shaded area, as direct, prolonged sunlight can eventually degrade technical fabrics. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, and do not iron or tumble dry the garment. This vest is compatible with standard wetsuits and can be worn as a base layer for extra warmth or as a standalone top for maximum sun protection.
