Product Information

Full details

This Splash About Premium Long-Sleeved UV Rash Vest in vibrant orange is designed for active children needing reliable sun protection during water play and outdoor activities. Its key benefit is UPF 50+ sun protection combined with comfortable, chafing-resistant lining. A minor consideration is that the sizing is specific to children's UK sizes, so verifying the correct fit is important. Key features include long sleeves, a high neckline, and a convenient front zip for easy wear.

FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, offering excellent sun protection.

Is this rash vest suitable for toddlers?

Yes, this rash vest is designed for children. The specific size 6 variant is suitable for children typically aged 6-7 years, but it's always best to check the specific UK size guide for the most accurate fit.

Can this be worn for swimming lessons?

Yes, it is suitable for swimming lessons and general water play, providing sun protection and comfort.

How should I wash the rash vest?

Hand wash gently in cold water with mild soap after each use. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Dry flat in the shade.

Does the lining provide extra warmth?

The lining is primarily for comfort and to prevent chafing. While it offers a slight barrier, it is not designed as thermal insulation.

What other colours and sizes are available?

Splash About offers this Long Sleeve Rash Top in various colours including Green and Pink, and in a range of children's UK sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

Can the front zip be easily operated by a child?

The front zip is designed for practicality and ease of use, making it relatively simple for children to operate with some practice, or for parents to assist.

Troubleshooting

Rash vest feels tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the sizing guide carefully. If the issue persists, consider if the lining is causing irritation and if a different material might be better suited.

Sunburn despite wearing the rash vest

While offering UPF 50+ protection, areas not covered by the vest (face, hands, legs) still require sunscreen. Ensure the vest fits snugly to prevent sun exposure around the edges.

Fabric seems to be losing its stretch or elasticity

Proper care is crucial. Avoid harsh detergents, high heat, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Always rinse after chlorine or saltwater use.

Zip is difficult to move

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Gently try to maneuver it. If sand or salt has caused stiffness, rinse the zip area with fresh water and allow it to dry before trying again.
