The Mountain Warehouse Short Sleeved UV Rash Vest is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and swimmers looking for reliable sun protection and comfort during water-based activities. Engineered with UPF50+ fabric, this vest excels at blocking harmful UV rays while offering a stretchy, quick-drying fit that moves with your body. While it provides excellent protection and mobility, users should note that as a close-fitting garment, it is designed for a snug athletic silhouette rather than a loose, casual fit.

Yes, it features UPF50+ technology, which effectively blocks harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Absolutely. It acts as an excellent base layer to prevent chafing and add a thin layer of insulation.
Hand wash or machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Hang to dry naturally.
No, it is designed to be water-permeable and quick-drying, allowing it to stay comfortable while wet.
While it covers your skin, it is primarily designed for sun protection and friction reduction; it is not specifically rated for sting prevention.
Rash vests are intended to be tight-fitting to remain aerodynamic in the water. If you want a looser fit, you may size up, but it may impact its performance during active swimming.
This is a compression-style garment; ensure you have selected the correct size based on your UK dress size for a comfortable athletic fit.
Avoid washing in high heat or using bleach. Excessive heat will break down the fibers and reduce the stretch capabilities of the vest.
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always rinse the vest in fresh, cool water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove chemical or salt residue. When washing, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid harsh fabric softeners that can degrade the moisture-wicking properties of the synthetic fibers. Always air dry in the shade, as direct, prolonged sunlight can eventually affect the elasticity and UV-blocking performance of technical fabrics. When choosing your size, note that this is a performance fit; if you prefer more room for movement or have a larger build, consider checking the specific measurements against your preference for tight-fitting technical gear.
