FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), providing excellent sun protection.
How do I know if I ordered the right size?
Refer to the product's size chart for accurate measurements. The performance fit is designed to be close to the body for optimal function during water sports.
Can I wear this rash vest for activities other than surfing?
Yes, this rash vest is suitable for any water-based activity where sun protection and a secure fit are beneficial, such as swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling.
Is the material suitable for chlorinated pools?
Yes, the fabric is designed to resist damage from both salt water and chlorine, making it suitable for pool use.
How should I care for my rash vest to ensure its longevity?
Rinse with cold, fresh water after each use, hand wash or machine wash gently with cold water and mild detergent, and dry flat in the shade. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying.
What is the boardshort loop for?
The boardshort loop is a small tether designed to connect the hem of the rash vest to the drawstring or loop of your boardshorts. This prevents the vest from riding up during intense activity in the water.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. The performance fit is designed to be snug; consider if a larger size is needed for a looser feel.
Boardshort loop is difficult to attach
Ensure the boardshort drawstring or loop is threaded through the rash vest's loop. If resistance is met, check for any obstructions.
Material losing elasticity
Avoid excessive heat and harsh chemicals like bleach. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after use and follow the recommended washing and drying instructions.
