Product Information
Full details
The Saltrock Warp Short Sleeve Rash Vest is an essential garment for surfers and water sports enthusiasts who require reliable sun protection and chafing resistance while maintaining freedom of movement. Designed with advanced ergonomics, it delivers UPF 50 protection and a specialized paddle zone for comfort during long sessions in the water; however, users should note that the polyester material is designed for a snug fit, which may require sizing up if a looser feel is preferred.

FAQs
Does this provide sun protection?
Yes, it features UPF 50 protection to block a significant amount of UV radiation.
Can I wear this for swimming?
Absolutely, it is designed for all water-based sports including swimming, surfing, and bodyboarding.
How should I wash it?
Hand wash with cold water and mild detergent. Do not tumble dry or iron.
Is the material stretchy?
The polyester blend provides the necessary stretch for athletic movement while maintaining its shape.
What is the purpose of the hem loop?
The loop is designed to attach to your boardshorts, preventing the vest from pulling upward during active water movement.
Troubleshooting
Garment rides up during surfing
Ensure the bottom hem loop is securely fastened to the tie-string of your boardshorts.
Fabric feels restrictive
Rash vests are designed to fit like a second skin; if restriction persists, consider a larger size to accommodate different body types.
Skin irritation or redness
Ensure the vest is rinsed completely of salt crystals after use, as dried salt can act as an abrasive agent against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Saltrock Rash Vest, always rinse the garment thoroughly in fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Hang the vest to air dry in the shade, as direct sunlight can degrade the synthetic fibers and elastic components over time. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these chemicals compromise the protective coating and structural integrity of the polyester fabric. When storing, ensure the vest is completely dry to prevent mold or mildew growth.
