FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this rash vest?

The Animal Lillie Rash Vest is designed to provide warmth in the water and protection against the sun. It's suitable for various water sports and outdoor activities.

Is this rash vest suitable for cold water?

It offers an additional layer of warmth, making it suitable for cooler water temperatures, especially when layered. However, it is not a full wetsuit and its thermal properties are limited.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

A properly fitting rash vest should be snug against your skin without being uncomfortably tight. It should allow for a full range of motion in your arms and shoulders. Check the size guide provided by Animal for specific measurements.

Can this rash vest be worn under a wetsuit?

Yes, its lightweight design and smooth seams make it an excellent choice for wearing as a base layer under a wetsuit to provide extra warmth and prevent chafing.

What is the material of the rash vest?

The rash vest is crafted from polyester, known for its quick-drying properties and durability.

How should I wash my rash vest?

Rinse with cold, fresh water after each use. Hand wash with mild soap if needed. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and direct heat. Dry flat in the shade.

Does this rash vest offer UV protection?

Yes, rash vests are generally designed to protect the skin from the sun's harmful UV rays, in addition to providing warmth.

Troubleshooting

Rash vest feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Rash vests are designed to fit snugly for optimal performance and to prevent chafing. If it feels excessively tight, consider if a larger size is needed, though remember it should not be loose.

Rash vest is not drying quickly

Verify that the garment is made of its intended quick-dry material. Ensure it is not excessively saturated with salt or sand, which can impede drying. Hang to dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat.

Seams are causing irritation

Check that the flatlock seams are lying flat against the skin. If irritation persists, ensure the vest is the correct size and not bunching up. Rinse the garment thoroughly to remove any residual salt or chlorine that might contribute to irritation.
