The Ripcurl Waves UPF50 Performance Rash Vest is ideal for surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, and beach training. Its performance fit and sun protection make it suitable for any water-based activity where sun exposure is a concern.
The vest features a performance fit, meaning it should be snug but not uncomfortably tight. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. It should stay in place without restricting movement during activity.
Yes, the rash vest is designed to be resistant to salt and chlorine damage, making it suitable for use in swimming pools as well as the ocean.
The elastic loop is located at the front hem of the rash vest. You thread your boardshort tie through this loop and then tie your boardshorts as usual. This helps prevent the rash vest from riding up during vigorous activity.
The UPF 50+ rating is built into the fabric's construction and is designed to be durable. However, like all performance fabrics, it can degrade over time with improper care, excessive heat, or physical damage. Following the care instructions will help maintain its effectiveness.
A performance fit is designed to be snug and streamlined, reducing drag in the water and staying securely in place during athletic movements. It offers maximum freedom of movement without excess material.
Yes, the slim, performance fit makes it comfortable to wear under a wetsuit. It can add an extra layer of warmth and help prevent chafing from wetsuit seams.
This is a performance fit designed for active use. Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. If it's still too tight, consider if a relaxed fit rash vest might be more suitable for your intended use.
Ensure the vest is not oversaturated with water. Wring out excess water gently before hanging. Very humid conditions can also affect drying time. Check that the care instructions regarding detergent use have been followed, as some detergents can leave residue.
Ensure the vest is the correct size and fits snugly without being excessively tight. Sometimes, initial wear can cause minor chafing as the fabric breaks in. Ensure no sand or debris is trapped between the skin and the fabric.
Ensure the garment has not been damaged by excessive heat, harsh chemicals, or abrasive wear. Always follow the recommended care instructions to maintain fabric integrity and UPF rating.
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Simply put it on. Ensure the boardshort loop is correctly attached to your boardshorts if you choose to use this feature for added security.
Compatibility: The Ripcurl Waves UPF50 Performance Rash Vest is designed for compatibility with most standard boardshorts via its integrated loop. It can be worn independently or layered under a wetsuit for added warmth and reduced chafing.
