FAQs

What does UPF +50 mean?

UPF +50 indicates that the fabric blocks more than 98% of the sun's ultraviolet rays when worn, providing excellent protection against sunburn and UV damage.

Can I wear this rashguard in a pool?

Yes, this rashguard is suitable for use in swimming pools. However, it's important to rinse it with fresh water immediately after swimming to remove chlorine, which can degrade the fabric over time.

Is this rashguard warm enough for cold water?

This rashguard is primarily designed for sun protection and does not offer significant thermal insulation. For warmth in cold water, a wetsuit would be more appropriate.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Quiksilver size chart provided on the product page or retail website. Rashguards are designed to fit snugly for optimal performance and sun protection. Measure your chest and consult the chart.

Can this be worn under a wetsuit?

Yes, many people wear rashguards under wetsuits to prevent chafing and add a slight layer of comfort or UV protection.

How often should I wash my rashguard?

It is recommended to rinse your rashguard with fresh water after each use. Machine washing on a gentle cycle is advised after several wears or if the garment is visibly dirty.

What is the material of this rashguard?

While specific material composition can vary, rashguards like this are typically made from a blend of polyester and elastane (spandex) to provide durability, stretch, and quick-drying properties.

Troubleshooting

Rashguard feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Quiksilver size chart. If between sizes, consider sizing up for a more relaxed fit.

Fabric loses elasticity or stretches out

Avoid high heat drying methods (tumble dry, direct sun). Always rinse thoroughly after use to remove salt and chlorine, which can degrade fabric over time.

Sun protection seems reduced

Check the garment for significant wear or damage. UPF protection can diminish over extended periods or with damage to the fabric. Ensure the garment is not overly stretched, as this can reduce effectiveness.

Color fading

This is a natural effect of prolonged sun and saltwater exposure. To minimize fading, always rinse with fresh water immediately after use and dry in the shade.
