FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UV radiation, providing excellent protection for your skin.

Can I wear this for swimming in a pool?

Yes, but ensure you rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after swimming to remove chlorine, which can degrade the fabric over time.

How should this fit?

This vest is designed for a performance fit, meaning it should be snug against your skin to prevent drag and allow for ease of movement.

Is the fabric quick-drying?

Yes, the vest is made from specialized materials designed to shed water quickly, making it comfortable to wear out of the water.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to standard UK dress sizing, keeping in mind that the garment is designed to be a tight performance fit.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you are using the correct UK dress size; consider sizing up if you prefer a less compressed fit.

Salt residue making the fabric feel stiff

Soak the vest in a basin of cool, fresh water for 15 minutes before rinsing to loosen dried salt crystals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High UPF 50+ rating for superior sun safety
  • Durable, quick-drying material suitable for repeated use
  • Protects skin from abrasive surfboard wax and contact
  • Stylish branding consistent with Rip Curl heritage

Cons

  • Slim fit may feel restrictive for some users
  • Limited to specific color and size variations
  • Requires proper rinsing to maintain fabric integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your rash vest lasts for many seasons, proper maintenance is essential. Always rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove salt and chemical residue. Avoid leaving the vest in direct sunlight for extended periods after drying, as this can degrade the fabric's UV protection properties. When washing, avoid harsh detergents and never tumble dry; instead, hang it in a shaded area to air dry naturally.
