FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this rash vest?
Its primary purpose is to provide UPF 50 sun protection and to act as a thermal base layer for watersports.
Can I wear this vest without a wetsuit?
Yes, it is designed to be worn on its own for sun protection during watersports or general outdoor activities.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size chart and ensure the vest fits snugly but comfortably, allowing for a full range of motion without excessive restriction.
What makes the fabric resistant?
The fabric is a blend of Nylon and Elastane, known for its durability, stretch, and resistance to wear and tear.
Is the high collar comfortable for all activities?
The high collar is designed for maximum protection. While comfortable for most watersports, some users may find it feels more prominent than a standard neckline.
How should I clean the rash vest?
Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying.
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB).
Troubleshooting
Rash develops after wearing
Ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly after each use to remove salt or chlorine residue. Check that the size is correct and not too tight, which can cause friction.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This may be due to detergent residue. Try rinsing the garment again thoroughly with fresh water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric's performance.
Sun protection seems less effective
Ensure the garment is worn correctly with no large gaps, especially around the high collar and cuffs. Check for any damage or thinning of the fabric which could compromise UV protection.
