Product Information
Full details
The Love waves Solid Tides Rashguard is designed for surfers, swimmers, and beach enthusiasts who require reliable sun protection without sacrificing mobility. Its standout benefit is the UPF 50+ fabric, which effectively blocks harmful rays during long hours on the water, though users should note that the polyester-spandex blend requires specific care to maintain its elasticity over time.

FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric allows only 1/50th of UV radiation to reach the skin, providing excellent protection against sun damage.
Can I wear this in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, but you must rinse the rashguard thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to prevent chlorine from weakening the fabric.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the inclusion of 15% spandex ensures the garment provides significant stretch and retains its shape during active movement.
What is Repreve fabric?
Repreve is a branded high-quality fiber made from 100% recycled materials, including used plastic bottles.
Should I wear sunscreen underneath?
While the rashguard provides high sun protection, it is recommended to apply sunscreen to any skin not covered by the garment.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels loose or loses shape
Avoid using fabric softeners and high-heat drying, which break down spandex fibers. Ensure the garment is air-dried lying flat.
Salt residue remains after washing
Soak the garment in cool, fresh water for 15-20 minutes to draw out salt crystals from the fibers before a gentle hand wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a pull-over garment, setup is straightforward—simply pull the rashguard on before applying sunscreen to ensure all covered areas are protected. To maintain the integrity of the recycled fabric and spandex:
- Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the garment with fresh, cool water after contact with salt or chlorine to prevent fabric degradation.
- Hand Wash Recommended: Use a mild detergent and wash by hand to protect the screen-printed logo and fabric elasticity.
- Air Dry: Never use a tumble dryer. Lay the garment flat in the shade to air dry, as direct sunlight and heat can damage the synthetic fibers over time.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Minimize direct contact with jagged rocks or coarse concrete to prevent pulls and snags in the polyester weave.
