Yes, it provides excellent sun protection for your back and shoulders while snorkeling, where your skin is typically most exposed to the sun.
The Waves model referenced here is a short-sleeve configuration, ideal for warmer climates and maximum arm mobility.
The fabric is designed to be durable, but like all synthetic materials, rinsing after salt or chlorine exposure and drying in the shade will significantly slow the fading process.
It serves as a tether point to keep the rash vest from riding up your torso when you are swimming or catching waves.
The vest is designed for a performance fit; ensure you have selected your correct waist size as these garments are sized closely to the body.
Ensure the boardshort loop is properly threaded and fastened to the eyelet or string of your boardshorts.
While the fabric is quick-dry, ensure you wring it out gently and hang it properly to allow maximum airflow for faster evaporation.
To ensure the longevity of your Ripcurl Rash Vest, proper maintenance is essential. Always rinse the garment with fresh, cold water immediately after each use to remove salt or chlorine residue. Hang the vest to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight which can degrade synthetic fibers over time. When using the boardshort loop, ensure you securely fasten it to the drawstring or waistband of your shorts before entering the water. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can compromise the UPF rating and the elasticity of the fabric.
