FAQs
What is UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, offering excellent sun protection.
Can this rash vest be worn without a wetsuit?
Yes, this rash vest is designed to be worn on its own for sun and rash protection during water activities.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The vest has a performance fit, meaning it should be snug. Refer to the size chart and ensure it fits closely without restricting movement.
Is this suitable for very young children?
Yes, it is designed for youth and provides essential protection for active children in and around the water.
Will this protect me from jellyfish stings?
While it offers a physical barrier, it is primarily designed for UV and abrasion protection and may not offer full protection against stings from all marine life.
What is the benefit of the boardshort connector?
The connector prevents the rash vest from riding up during activity, ensuring continuous coverage and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a less constrictive fit, though this may slightly reduce performance benefits.
Fabric loses elasticity
Avoid machine drying and exposure to high heat. Always follow the cold water wash and hang dry instructions.
Boardshort connector feels weak
Ensure the connector is properly attached to the boardshorts. Avoid excessive force when connecting or disconnecting.
