FAQs
What does 50+ U.P.F. mean?
50+ U.P.F. (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays when worn.
Can this rash vest be worn on its own?
Yes, it is designed to be worn on its own as a sun protection shirt or under a wetsuit for added comfort and rash prevention.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing chart and your body measurements. The performance fit should be snug but not restrictive, allowing for full range of motion.
Is this rash vest suitable for long periods in the sun?
Yes, its primary function is to provide maximum UV protection for extended durations outdoors.
What material is this rash vest made from?
It is made from a 6oz Polyester/Spandex fabric blend.
How should I clean my rash vest?
Rinse with cold, fresh water after each use and hand wash with mild soap. Lay flat to dry in the shade.
Will this rash vest keep me warm in the water?
This rash vest is primarily for sun protection and rash prevention. While the fabric offers some minor insulation, it is not designed as a thermal garment.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The performance fit is designed to be snug; consider if this is your preferred fit or if a size up might be more comfortable for casual wear.
Chafing despite wearing the vest
Make sure the flatlock seams are positioned correctly against your skin and that the fabric is not bunched up. Ensure the vest is the correct size and not too small.
Reduced UV protection after washing
Follow the care instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat, which can degrade the fabric's protective properties over time.
