FAQs
Does this rash vest offer sun protection?
Yes, it features a UPF 50+ rating to protect your skin from harmful UV radiation.
Can I wear this in a chlorinated pool?
Absolutely. It is constructed with WARPKNIT EXTRA LIFE technology specifically to be chlorine-friendly and durable.
Is the fit tight or loose?
This model features a standard fit, which is generally more relaxed than a high-compression style rash vest.
How should I wash this garment?
Rinse with fresh water after each use and hang to dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry or use harsh detergents.
What material is it made from?
It is crafted from high-quality polyester designed for durability, stretch, and quick-drying performance.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels loose after repeated use
Ensure you are following care instructions and avoiding high-heat drying, which can break down the elasticity of the synthetic fibers.
Salt or sand trapped in the fabric
Soak the garment in cool fresh water for 15 minutes and gently agitate the fabric to release trapped particles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Ripcurl Surf Revival Rash Vest, always rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Avoid wringing the fabric out; instead, gently squeeze it. Dry the vest by laying it flat in the shade, as direct sunlight can degrade synthetic fibers and cause the print to fade over time. The vest is compatible with standard boardshorts and swimwear and is best worn as a base layer for water-based activities. Avoid contact with rough surfaces, such as concrete pool edges or coarse wax, to prevent fabric pilling.
