FAQs

What is the main benefit of this rash vest?

The main benefit is its UPF 50+ sun protection combined with quick-drying and comfortable stretchy fabric, making it ideal for active outdoor and watersports.

Can I wear this for surfing?

Yes, the stretchy, lightweight fabric and flat seams make it suitable for surfing and other watersports where freedom of movement and protection from sun and chafing are important.

How should I wash the rash vest?

You should machine wash it with similar colours at a maximum of 40°C using a mild detergent. Do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry.

Does the UPF 50+ protection wash out?

UPF protection is built into the fabric. While it is durable, proper care (avoiding high heat and harsh chemicals) helps maintain its effectiveness over time.

Is this vest suitable for very cold water?

This vest is primarily designed for sun protection and comfort in warmer conditions or as a base layer. It offers minimal thermal insulation for cold water.

What does 'flat seams' mean?

Flat seams are a type of stitching where the seams lie flat against the fabric, reducing irritation and chafing against the skin, which is beneficial during prolonged activity.

What is the fit like?

The vest has a close fit designed to prevent chafing and improve freedom of movement. It is not intended to be a loose-fitting garment.

Troubleshooting

Rash vest feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. This garment has a close fit for performance; consider a larger size if you prefer a looser feel, though this may affect chafing prevention.

Fabric seems to be losing its stretch

Avoid tumble drying and high heat, as this can degrade the elasticity of the fabric. Always follow the cold wash and flat dry instructions.

Sun protection feels insufficient

While UPF 50+ offers excellent protection, ensure full coverage. Reapply sunscreen to exposed areas, and remember that fabric protection is less effective when wet or stretched thin.
