Product Information

Full details

FAQs

Can I wear this under my wetsuit?

Yes, it is designed to be worn under a wetsuit to prevent chafing and add a layer of warmth.

Does it provide sun protection?

Yes, it features UPF 50+ protection, which blocks the vast majority of UV rays.

Is this machine washable?

It can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle, but hand washing is recommended to prolong the fabric's life.

Does the fabric stretch?

Yes, it is made with 4-way stretch material to ensure comfort and freedom of movement.

How should it fit?

It is designed as a 'performance fit,' meaning it should sit snugly against the skin without being uncomfortably tight.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you are wearing the intended performance fit; if too tight, consider sizing up for future purchases.

Fabric holds onto sand

Rinse the rash guard thoroughly with high-pressure fresh water while stretching the fabric to dislodge sand grains.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent UPF 50+ sun protection
  • Highly durable, quick-drying polyester fabric
  • Flatlock stitching effectively prevents chafing
  • Ideal for layering under wetsuits
  • Provides great range of motion with 4-way stretch

Cons

  • Performance fit may feel too tight for some users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no complex setup required; simply slide the garment on as you would a standard base layer. For optimal performance, ensure you choose the correct size to maintain the intended 'performance fit.'

Care Instructions:

  • Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle using mild detergent.
  • Drip dry in the shade to prevent potential fabric degradation from direct, prolonged UV exposure while not in use.
