FAQs
What does UPF 50+ protection mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB), providing excellent protection for your skin during outdoor activities.
Is this rash vest suitable for cold water?
This rash vest primarily offers UV protection and some minor insulation. For cold water, a thicker wetsuit or neoprene top would be more appropriate. It can serve as a base layer for added comfort in cooler conditions.
Can I machine wash this rash vest?
It is recommended to hand wash the rash vest with a mild soap and cold water to preserve the fabric's integrity and protective qualities. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The rash vest should fit snugly like a second skin. It should not be loose, as this can cause chafing and reduce its effectiveness. Refer to the O'Neill sizing chart for guidance, and ensure it allows for full range of motion without being excessively tight.
What is the environmental benefit of this product?
The rash vest is made from 85% recycled polyamide, which reduces waste and the environmental impact associated with virgin material production.
Can this be worn for activities other than surfing?
Yes, this rash vest is versatile and suitable for any water-based activity such as swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, or simply enjoying beach activities where sun protection is needed.
Troubleshooting
Rash Vest feels too tight and restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the product's sizing chart. A tight fit is intentional for performance, but it should not impede circulation or cause significant discomfort.
Skin irritation after wearing
Rinse the rash vest thoroughly after each use to remove any residual salt or sand. Ensure the flatlock stitching is not irritating; hand wash gently. If irritation persists, consider trying a different size or fit.
Fading of color
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Always dry the garment flat in the shade. Rinsing immediately after use also helps preserve color vibrancy.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and protective qualities of your rash vest:
- Rinse Immediately: After each use, rinse thoroughly with cold, fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
- Hand Wash: Gently hand wash with a mild soap, if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Do Not Wring: Do not twist or wring the fabric, as this can damage the fibers and stitching.
- Dry Flat: Lay the rash vest flat to dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can fade colors and degrade the material over time.
