Yes, it features a 50+ UPF rating, which is the highest level of ultraviolet protection for clothing.
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.
It is recommended to hand wash in cold water to preserve the fabric elasticity and UV-blocking qualities.
The garment is crafted from an eco-focused polyester blend specifically chosen to reduce waste in the manufacturing process.
To minimize fading, avoid high-heat drying and always rinse after salt water exposure.
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.
Ensure the vest is rinsed completely of salt crystals, which can act like sandpaper against skin after the water evaporates.
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.
