FAQs

Does this vest provide actual UV protection?

Yes, it is designed with UPF-rated fabric to provide a high level of protection against the sun's rays.

Can I wear this for sports other than surfing?

Absolutely, the vest is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, or any activity where sun protection and quick-drying properties are needed.

How should I wash my rash vest?

Hand wash in cool, fresh water. Do not use bleach, and avoid tumble drying to preserve the life of the fabric.

Will the material fade in chlorine pools?

While the material is durable, we recommend rinsing thoroughly with fresh water after pool use to minimize the impact of chlorine on the color and fabric.

What is the primary material used?

The garment is made from a high-quality, eco-friendly polyester blend.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stretched out after heavy use

Ensure you are washing according to instructions and avoiding high-heat drying, which can damage the elasticity of the polyester fibers.

Skin irritation from chafing

Ensure the vest is the correct size; if the fit is too loose, the fabric may rub against the skin, causing irritation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent UPF sun protection for long days at the beach
  • Lightweight, breathable polyester material
  • Effective moisture-wicking properties keep you comfortable
  • Durable design suitable for high-intensity water sports

Cons

  • Snug fit may be restrictive for those preferring loose clothing
  • Limited color options outside standard athletic palettes
  • Requires proper care to maintain UPF integrity over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your rash vest lasts through many seasons, always rinse it with fresh, cool water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorine to remove mineral buildup and salt crystals. Avoid wringing out the fabric; instead, lay it flat or hang it in a shaded area to dry. Keep the vest away from direct, harsh sunlight when drying, as extreme UV exposure over time can degrade the synthetic fibers. The vest is compatible with standard boardshorts and swimwear, and it is recommended to wear it snugly against the skin for the best UV protection results.
