Designed to provide reliable 50+ UPF sun protection and high-stretch comfort, it is the perfect companion for days at the beach or pool. While it offers excellent coverage and mobility, parents should note that it is a short-sleeved garment, meaning exposed arms will still require additional sunscreen application.

FAQs
Does this rashguard provide full UV protection?
It provides 50+ UPF protection for the areas covered by the fabric. Remember that areas not covered still require sunscreen.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is best to air dry this garment to maintain the integrity of the stretch fabric and the UV-resistant coating.
Is the material chlorine resistant?
Yes, the polyester blend is designed to be durable against chlorine, though rinsing after use is recommended to extend its life.
How should I choose the right size?
Use the provided age-based sizing, but consider your child's specific measurements to ensure a comfortable fit for active play.
Can this be worn as a base layer?
Yes, its stretchy and form-fitting nature makes it an excellent base layer for various outdoor water sports.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after swimming in a pool
This is likely due to chlorine buildup; rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after leaving the pool and machine wash using a gentle cycle.
Stitching appears strained
Ensure the size is correct for the child; if the garment is too tight, it will pull on the seams during movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a pull-on garment, no complex setup is required. For optimal care, it is recommended to rinse the garment in fresh, cool water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorine to preserve the elasticity of the fibers. When machine washing, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the UV-protective coating. Always air dry the rashguard in the shade, as direct sunlight for extended periods can eventually degrade the technical properties of the fabric.
