FAQs
What is UPF 50+?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays when worn.
Is this rash vest suitable for cold water?
This rash vest is designed primarily for sun protection and rash prevention in warmer waters. It offers minimal insulation and is not intended for cold-water immersion.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The vest should fit snugly like a second skin without being uncomfortably tight. It should allow for a full range of motion without riding up. Refer to the product's size chart for specific measurements.
Can the boardshort connector be removed?
The boardshort connector is typically sewn into the rash vest and is not designed to be removed.
What material is this rash vest made of?
This rash vest is made from 6oz Nylon with added Spandex for stretch and comfort.
How often should I rinse the rash vest?
It is recommended to rinse the rash vest with cool, fresh water after every use to preserve the fabric and its protective qualities.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. If it's still too tight, consider if the performance fit is suitable for your comfort preference. For next purchase, explore options with a more relaxed fit if available.
UV protection seems less effective
Verify that the fabric is not excessively stretched or worn thin. Damaged or worn fabric can reduce UV protection effectiveness. Always rinse thoroughly after use to maintain fabric integrity.
Boardshort connector is difficult to use
Ensure the boardshort has a compatible loop or attachment point. Gently slide the connector into place. Refer to the boardshort manufacturer's instructions if needed.
Fabric losing elasticity
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying and refrain from using high heat or harsh chemicals. Proper rinsing after each use is crucial for maintaining elasticity.
