FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this rash guard?

The primary purpose is to provide UPF 50+ sun protection and to prevent chafing and rashes caused by contact with surfboards, paddles, or other water sports equipment.

How does the recycled polyester elastane blend perform?

This blend offers excellent stretch, quick-drying capabilities, and durability, while also being an environmentally conscious choice.

Is this rash guard suitable for cold water?

This rash guard is designed for sun protection and rash prevention in moderate to warm water temperatures. It offers minimal thermal insulation and is not intended for cold water immersion.

Can I wear this rash guard for activities other than surfing?

Yes, it is suitable for any water or beach activity where sun protection and rash prevention are needed, such as paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, or simply spending time at the beach.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The rash guard is designed for a performance fit, meaning it should be snug. Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider trying it on if possible to ensure it fits comfortably without being overly restrictive.

How often should I rinse my rash guard?

It is recommended to rinse the rash guard with fresh water immediately after every use to prolong its life and maintain fabric integrity.

Troubleshooting

Rash guard feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a looser fit, though this may slightly reduce its effectiveness against board rash.

Material feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild soap and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can reduce the fabric's performance properties.

Sun protection seems reduced

Check the fabric for any thinning or damage. Over time, wear and tear can reduce UPF effectiveness. If damaged, consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse the rash guard thoroughly with cold, fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
  2. Hand Wash: Wash separately by hand in cold water using mild soap.
  3. Do Not Bleach: Avoid using any bleaching agents, as they can damage the fabric.
  4. Do Not Tumble Dry: Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. Direct sunlight can fade colors and degrade fabric over time.
