Yes, the material is resistant to chlorinated water, but be sure to rinse it with fresh water after each session to maintain the fabric's integrity.
While it offers some protection against the elements, it is not a thermal layer and should not be relied upon to keep you warm in cold water.
The vest is designed for a close fit. If you prefer a slightly looser feel, you may want to size up, though the fabric is designed to remain close to the skin for sun protection.
The UV protection is a built-in treatment. To maintain its effectiveness, avoid bleaching and excessive heat, and rinse the garment after each use.
It is recommended to hand wash in cold water to best preserve the elasticity and UPF treatment of the fabric.
Ensure the size matches your body measurements; the garment is designed for a close athletic fit, but if breathing is restricted, consider a larger size.
Thoroughly rinse the garment in fresh water after every swim to remove salt crystals that can cause chafing.
To ensure the longevity of your Rash Vest, always rinse it with clean, cool water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to prevent fabric degradation. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Hang the vest to dry in a shaded area, as direct, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can eventually damage the fabric fibers. When wearing under a wetsuit, ensure the vest is smoothed out flat against your body to prevent bunching, which can cause discomfort.
