Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Hoku II Kids' Swim Top is designed for young swimmers aged 5-6 years who need sun protection and comfort during water activities. Its key benefit is offering UPF 50+ protection to shield delicate skin from harmful UV rays, combined with quick-drying fabric for continuous comfort. A minor caveat is that while it offers UPF 30+, it's crucial to understand this is not a substitute for sunscreen for exposed areas. This long-sleeved swim top is crafted from a blend of polyester and elastane for flexibility and durability, making it ideal for swimming, surfing, or playing by the water.

Troubleshooting
Swim top feels tight or restrictive
Ensure the correct size has been selected. If it's the correct size, the elastane blend should provide stretch, but check care instructions to ensure the fabric hasn't been damaged by harsh washing or drying methods.
Fabric is not drying quickly
Ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly after use to remove salt or chlorine, which can affect drying time. Avoid wringing the fabric excessively; gentle squeezing is recommended. Ensure it is hung to dry in a well-ventilated area.
Color fading or fabric losing elasticity
Follow the care instructions meticulously, especially regarding washing with mild detergent, avoiding bleach, and drying in the shade. Direct sunlight and harsh chemicals can degrade the fabric and its UV-protective properties over time.
