Product Information

Full details

This Splash About Premium Long-Sleeved UV Rash Vest in vibrant green is designed for active children aged 1-2 years who spend time outdoors. Its key benefit is providing UPF 50+ sun protection to cover shoulders and arms, ensuring comfort and safety during beach days or swimming. A minor consideration is that the front zip, while practical, may require supervision for very young children to prevent accidental unzipping.

FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), providing excellent sun protection.

Is this rash vest suitable for swimming lessons?

Yes, it is ideal for swimming lessons as it provides sun protection and comfort, and its design allows for ease of movement in the water.

How do I ensure the correct size for my child?

Refer to the size guide provided by Splash About for children's UK sizes. This particular vest is size 1-2 years.

Can this rash vest be worn as a standalone garment?

While it provides sun protection, it is typically worn over a swimsuit for water activities. It can be worn on its own for outdoor play where sun protection is needed.

Does the lining provide extra warmth?

The lining is primarily for comfort and to prevent chafing. It offers minimal thermal insulation.

How should I clean the rash vest to maintain its UPF rating?

Always rinse with cool, clean water after use. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and hang dry in the shade. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.

What material is the rash vest made from?

The rash vest is crafted from a durable, high-quality fabric designed for active use and sun protection.

Troubleshooting

Rash vest is difficult to zip up or down.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Lubricate the zipper with a bit of soap or wax if it feels stiff.

Colour has faded.

This can occur with prolonged sun exposure and washing. Follow care instructions, rinse immediately after use, and dry in the shade to minimize fading.

Rash vest feels less protective after several uses.

Check the fabric for signs of wear or damage. Ensure it's washed according to care instructions to maintain fabric integrity and UPF rating.
