FAQs

What does UPF50+ mean?

It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UV rays, offering the highest level of sun protection available in apparel.

Can I wear this in a chlorinated pool?

Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to prevent chlorine from breaking down the fabric.

Does this vest provide warmth?

While it is primarily for sun protection and rash prevention, the polyester material does offer a very thin layer of insulation against wind chill.

How should I store the vest?

Store it lying flat or hung on a wide hanger in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.

Is the material stretchy?

It provides a comfortable athletic fit designed for performance, though it is engineered more for stability and protection than high-stretch compression.

Troubleshooting

The vest rides up during swimming

Use the integrated hem loop at the bottom of the vest to secure it firmly to your boardshorts.

Feeling restricted in the shoulders

Ensure the vest is pulled down fully to align the anatomical pre-bent sleeves with your natural arm position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Saltrock Rash Vest, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after exposure to salt or chlorine. Avoid using harsh detergents, and never tumble dry or iron the vest, as high heat can degrade the polyester fibers and UPF coating. To maintain the integrity of the boardshort connector loop, ensure it is fully dry before storing the garment in a cool, shaded place. This vest is compatible with most standard surfing boardshorts that feature a back tie or waistband loop.
