Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Rash Vest is an essential garment for water sports enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers seeking reliable sun protection without sacrificing mobility. Featuring UPF 50+ technology, it effectively blocks harmful UV rays, while the slim, flexible design and flat-seam construction prioritize comfort by minimizing chafing during active movement. While its lightweight, quick-drying fabric is perfect for swimming and travel, users should note that the garment is designed for a close, body-hugging fit, which may require sizing considerations depending on personal preference.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this rash vest offer real sun protection?
Yes, it is rated UPF 50+, which means it blocks the vast majority of harmful UV rays.
Can I wear this in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after every swim to protect the fabric fibers.
How should this vest fit?
It is designed to have a slim, close-to-the-body fit to provide flexibility and prevent drag in the water.
Is there a warranty included?
Yes, this product comes with a 2-year warranty covering defects in quality and performance.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
No, it is recommended to air dry the vest in the shade to preserve the elastic materials and UV protection.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels loose after multiple uses
Ensure you are following the cold-water rinse protocol after every use to maintain the integrity of the elastic fibers.
Skin irritation around seams
Check that the garment is the correct size; a fit that is too small can pull on the seams and increase skin friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Mountain Warehouse Rash Vest remains in top condition, proper care is essential. Always rinse the garment with fresh, cold water immediately after exposure to chlorine or salt water to prevent fabric degradation. When washing, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can strip the UPF protection properties. The garment should be air-dried in the shade rather than in direct sunlight or a tumble dryer, as excessive heat can damage the elasticity of the fabric. The vest is compatible with standard swimwear bottoms and pairs well with wetsuits as an extra layer for temperature regulation.
