The Ripcurl Streamline UPF Short Sleeve Rash Vest is an essential piece of gear for surfers, swimmers, and beachgoers who need reliable sun protection during long sessions in the water. Engineered with UPF 50+ rated polyester, it effectively shields the skin from harmful UV rays while offering a breathable, loose-fit design. While it excels in moisture management and sun safety, users should note that the loose-fit construction may create more drag than a traditional compression-fit rash guard when swimming at high speeds.

Yes, this garment provides UPF 50+ protection, which blocks the vast majority of UVA and UVB rays.
Yes, but be aware that chlorinated water is harsher on fabrics than saltwater, so always rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use.
No, this model features a loose-fit design intended for comfort and airflow rather than the tight compression of traditional surf rash guards.
Hand wash in cold water using a mild soap if necessary, and always air dry in the shade.
Yes, it is constructed from high-performance polyester designed to wick moisture and dry rapidly.
Wash the garment in cold water and air dry completely to allow the fibers to settle, though some relaxation in the fit is normal for this material.

To ensure the longevity of your Ripcurl Streamline Rash Vest, proper maintenance is essential. Always rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pool water to remove mineral deposits and chemicals. Avoid using a tumble dryer or ironing the vest, as excessive heat can damage the synthetic fibers and the heat-transfer print. Instead, hang the garment in a shaded, well-ventilated area to air dry away from direct sunlight. When packing for trips, the lightweight material is highly compressible and resistant to wrinkling, making it easy to store in any gear bag.
