FAQs
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, providing excellent protection.
Can I wear this rash vest for swimming in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, the vest is made from material that resists damage from both salt and chlorine, making it suitable for pool use.
How do I ensure the boardshort loop works effectively?
The loop is designed to connect to the waist tie cord of your boardshorts. Ensure your boardshorts have a tie cord and thread it through the loop before securing your shorts.
Is this rash vest suitable for casual wear or just sports?
While it offers great protection and comfort for water sports due to its performance fit, it can also be worn casually for sun protection during beach or outdoor activities.
What is the material composition?
The vest is made from 90% Polyester and 10% Elastane.
How should I wash the rash vest?
Rinse with fresh, cold water after each use. Hand wash with mild soap if necessary. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry or iron.
Troubleshooting
Vest feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided sizing chart. For a looser fit, consider a different model or size up if preferred, though this may impact performance.
Boardshort loop is difficult to attach
Make sure the boardshort tie cord is not too thick. Thread the cord through the loop before tying your boardshorts.
Rash develops under the vest
This can occur due to friction. Ensure the vest fits correctly and is not bunching. Rinsing the vest thoroughly after each use can also help minimize irritation.
Material losing elasticity
Proper care is essential. Always rinse with fresh water after use and avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying, which can degrade elastane over time.
