Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Hoku II Kids' Swim Top is designed for active children aged 3-4, offering lightweight protection for sunny days by the water. Its primary benefit is excellent UV 50+ sun protection combined with quick-drying fabric for maximum comfort during swimming, surfing, or playing. A potential caveat is that while the fabric offers UPF 30+ protection, the description also mentions UPF 50+ protection, which might require clarification for users prioritizing the highest level of UV defense. Key features include its quick-drying polyester and elastane blend, UPF 50+ protection, and a comfortable long-sleeved design.

FAQs
What age group is this swim top for?
This specific variant is sized for children aged 3-4 years.
What is the UPF rating of the Hoku II swim top?
The product description mentions both UPF 50+ and UPF 30+ protection. It is designed to offer significant sun protection.
What is the fabric composition?
The swim top is made from an 85% polyester and 15% elastane blend.
Can I machine wash this swim top?
Yes, it is machine washable at 30°C. Please follow the care instructions for best results.
Is this top suitable for saltwater and chlorinated pools?
Yes, it is suitable for both. It is recommended to rinse the garment immediately after use in either saltwater or chlorinated water.
Are matching swim hats available?
Yes, swim hats in matching colours and prints are available (models RKC270 & RKC254).
Does the camouflage pattern affect the UV protection?
The pattern is printed on the fabric. The UPF rating is determined by the fabric's properties and weave, not the pattern itself.
Troubleshooting
Swim top feels tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. The blend of polyester and elastane offers some stretch, but if it feels too tight, it may be a size issue. Check the size guide if unsure.
Fabric not drying as quickly as expected
Ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed after use to remove salt water or chlorine, which can affect drying time. Wring out excess water before air drying.
UPF protection seems lower than expected
Ensure the fabric is not stretched excessively, as this can reduce its UPF rating. Also, check that the garment is in good condition with no significant wear or damage to the fabric.
