Product Information
Full details
The Quiksilver Everyday UV Protect Rash Vest is designed for surfers and water sports enthusiasts who require reliable sun protection and comfort during extended sessions in the ocean. This vest provides essential 50+ UPF protection against harmful UV rays and utilizes moisture-wicking, chlorine-resistant recycled polyester to maintain durability over time. While its snug, performance-oriented fit offers excellent coverage, users who prefer a loose, casual t-shirt feel may find the tight compression design restrictive during non-water activities.

FAQs
Can I wear this in a chlorinated pool?

Does it protect against 100% of UV rays?
It provides 50+ UPF protection, which blocks a significant amount of harmful UV radiation, though it is still recommended to use sunscreen on exposed areas.
How should I wash my rash vest?
Hand wash in cold water using a mild soap, then hang to dry out of direct sunlight.
Is the fit supposed to be this tight?
Yes, this is a performance rash vest designed to be snug to reduce drag in the water and provide effective UV protection.
Is this made from recycled materials?
Yes, the vest is constructed from a blend of recycled yarns as part of Quiksilver's commitment to more sustainable materials.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels loose after many uses
Ensure you are rinsing with cold fresh water after every session to prevent chemical or salt buildup from breaking down the elastic fibers.
Skin irritation during surfing
Verify that the rash vest is worn directly against the skin to minimize friction. Check that no sand is trapped inside the fabric before putting it on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your rash vest, follow these care instructions. After every use in the ocean or pool, rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh, cold water to remove salt, sand, or chlorine residues. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the moisture-wicking and UV-blocking fibers. Air dry the vest by hanging it in a shaded area; avoid direct sunlight during the drying process, as excessive heat can weaken the fabric's integrity. When considering compatibility, this vest fits best as a snug second skin. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred level of compression—if you want full performance benefits, select your true size, but if you prefer a slightly less restrictive feel, you may need to evaluate the fit carefully.
