FAQs
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks approximately 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation when worn.
Is this vest suitable for swimming in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, it is suitable for pool use, but it's essential to rinse it thoroughly with cold, fresh water immediately after swimming to remove chlorine and prevent damage to the fabric.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
The vest should fit snugly like a second skin without being uncomfortably tight. There should be no significant gaps or looseness, especially around the arms and neck, to ensure maximum protection and prevent chafing.
Can this rash vest be worn under a wetsuit?
Yes, the slim, stretch design makes it ideal for wearing under a wetsuit for added comfort and to help prevent chafing.
What is the main benefit of the recycled polyester material?
Using recycled polyester reduces environmental impact by repurposing waste materials, contributing to sustainability efforts.
How often should I wash the rash vest?
It is recommended to rinse the rash vest with fresh water after each use. Hand wash periodically as needed, following the care instructions.
Troubleshooting
Rash develops despite wearing the vest.
Ensure the vest fits snugly and does not fold or bunch up. Check for any rough seams or tags that might be causing irritation. Always rinse thoroughly after use.
Fabric feels less stretchy over time.
This can occur with frequent exposure to chlorine or improper washing. Ensure you are hand washing with cold water and drying flat in the shade, avoiding heat sources.
Color fades significantly.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. While the UPF protection remains, the vibrancy may decrease. Always dry flat in the shade to preserve color.
