FAQs
Does this provide protection against both UVA and UVB rays?
Yes, the UPF50+ rating indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays.
Can I wear this under a wetsuit?
Absolutely. It is designed to fit slim against the body, making it an ideal base layer to prevent wetsuit rash.
Is the material chlorine-resistant?
The fabric is designed for water sports, but it is recommended to rinse it with fresh water immediately after pool use to extend the garment's lifespan.
How should I wash this garment?
Use a gentle machine cycle with mild detergent, and always air dry in the shade to preserve the fabric's UV-blocking properties.
Does the warranty cover fading?
The 2-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and quality issues, but natural wear and tear or fading from UV exposure is generally not included.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of skin irritation around seams
Ensure the vest is the correct size; if the garment is too tight, it can cause friction at the seams. Applying a sports anti-chafe balm can also help.
Vest stays wet for too long
Wring out excess water after swimming and lay flat to dry in a well-ventilated area rather than leaving it bunched up inside a bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no setup—simply pull it on and ensure the seams are positioned correctly. It is highly compatible with most wetsuits, serving as a protective base layer to reduce rubbing between the skin and the suit interior.
Care Instructions:
- Rinsing: Always rinse the vest in fresh, cool water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove chemical/salt residue.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent if necessary.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain fabric integrity and avoid harsh tumble drying which may degrade the UV treatment.
