FAQs
What is UPF 50+ sun protection?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, providing excellent protection for your skin.
How does the moisture-wicking technology work?
The fabric is designed to draw moisture (sweat) away from your skin and spread it across the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate quickly, helping you stay dry and comfortable.
Can I wear this rash vest in a swimming pool?
Yes, this rash vest is chlorine resistant, making it suitable for regular use in swimming pools as well as saltwater environments.
What is the fit like?
The rash vest has a snug fit, designed to be close to the body for reduced drag in the water and a secure feel.
What materials is the rash vest made of?
It is made from a blend of 84% Polyester and 16% Elastane. Additionally, it is part of the UVflight collection, which uses recycled yarn.
How should I care for my rash vest to ensure it lasts?
Rinse with fresh water after each use, hand wash in cold water with mild soap, and dry flat in the shade. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing.
Is this product available in other colors?

Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. If it's still too tight, consider if a looser fitting garment is more suitable for your needs.
Fabric loses elasticity
Follow care instructions precisely. Avoid machine washing, high heat drying, and harsh detergents, as these can degrade the elastane fibers.
Reduced UV protection effectiveness over time
Ensure the garment is not overly stretched or damaged. While the UPF rating is durable, significant wear and tear can compromise its effectiveness. Proper care will maximize its lifespan.
Discoloration after use
Rinse thoroughly after each use, especially after exposure to chlorine or salt water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. Follow washing instructions to maintain color.
