FAQs

Does the UPF protection wear off?

With proper care and by avoiding harsh chemicals like bleach, the UPF 50+ rating is built into the fabric structure and remains effective for the life of the garment.

Can I machine wash this vest?

It is recommended to hand wash in cold water to preserve the technical fibers and fit. Always check the internal garment tag for specific care instructions.

Is this vest suitable for snorkeling?

Yes, it is excellent for snorkeling as it protects your back and shoulders from sunburn while you are floating on the water's surface.

How should the vest fit?

The vest is designed to be a snug, performance fit to ensure it does not drag in the water or move around during intense physical activity.

Can I wear this under a wetsuit?

Absolutely. It acts as a great base layer to prevent wetsuit rash and provides an extra layer of warmth.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after pool use

This is likely due to chlorine buildup. Ensure you rinse the vest thoroughly in cold, fresh water immediately after leaving the pool.

Visible stretching or sagging

Avoid hanging the vest on thin wire hangers while wet, as the weight of the water can stretch the fabric. Always dry the vest laying flat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-level UV protection (UPF 50+)
  • Durable construction resistant to chlorine and salt
  • Material dries quickly between sessions
  • Comfortable fit designed for active movement

Cons

  • Snug fit may feel tight compared to regular tops
  • Specific care required to maintain UV rating
  • Limited to aquatic use scenarios

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a technical piece of sportswear, proper care is essential to maintain its UPF rating and fabric quality. After each use, rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh, cool water to remove all traces of chlorine or salt. Do not wring or twist the fabric; instead, lay it flat or hang it in a shaded area to air dry. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these chemicals can degrade the fibers and diminish the sun protection factor. Keep the vest away from high-heat sources like tumble dryers or direct radiators, as heat can damage the synthetic fibers.
