FAQs

Does this vest provide actual sun protection?

Yes, it features a 50+ UPF rating, which is the highest level of ultraviolet protection for clothing.

Is the fit true to size?

It uses a performance fit, which is tighter than a standard t-shirt. If you prefer a looser feel, you may want to size up, though this may reduce the effectiveness in the water.

Can I wash this in the machine?

It is recommended to hand wash in cold water to preserve the fabric elasticity and UV-blocking qualities.

Is the material made from recycled plastic?

The garment is crafted from an eco-focused polyester blend specifically chosen to reduce waste in the manufacturing process.

Will the bold prints fade?

To minimize fading, avoid high-heat drying and always rinse after salt water exposure.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight when pulling on

The performance-fit design is intentional for water use; try putting it on while dry to ensure comfort, or stretch the fabric gently before putting it on in the water.

Fabric irritation after long use

Ensure the vest is rinsed completely of salt crystals, which can act like sandpaper against skin after the water evaporates.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent 50+ UPF sun protection
  • Snug, performance-oriented fit prevents shifting
  • Uses eco-focused materials
  • High-visibility graphics for safety
  • Durable polyester blend stands up to salt and sun

Cons

  • Performance fit may feel restrictive for some
  • Limited to specific colorways
  • Requires careful rinsing to maintain fabric integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is a performance-fit item, it is designed to be worn directly against the skin. For optimal care, rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh cold water immediately after every use to remove salt, chlorine, and sunscreen residue. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's UV-protective properties. Always air dry the vest in the shade, away from direct sunlight, to prevent the fabric and prints from fading prematurely. Do not iron or dry clean the garment.
