FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this rash vest?
The primary purpose is to provide UPF sun protection for the torso and upper arms during water activities and to protect the skin from chafing, for example, from a surfboard.
Is this rash vest suitable for swimming in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, it is suitable for pool swimming, but it's important to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to remove chlorine, which can degrade the fabric over time.
Does the fabric offer UV protection?
Yes, the fabric blend is designed to offer sun protection, though specific UPF ratings are not provided in the product description.
How should I care for the rash vest to make it last longer?
Rinse with cold, fresh water after each use, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and lay flat to dry in the shade. Avoid bleach, ironing, and tumble drying.
What does 'print blocking at sleeves' mean?
This refers to a design feature where a different pattern or color is applied to the sleeves, contrasting with the main body of the rash vest.
Can this be worn as a standalone top for casual wear?
While it can be worn casually, its design and function are primarily optimized for water sports and sun protection. It may not be as comfortable or stylish as a dedicated casual top for all occasions.
What is the material composition?
The rash vest is made from 85% Polyester and 15% Elastane jersey.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size chart and consider trying a size up if you prefer a looser fit for less restriction.
Fabric appears faded after a few uses.
This can be due to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying or chlorine. Always rinse thoroughly after use and dry flat in the shade. Use a mild detergent for washing.
Seams feel uncomfortable during activity.
While designed for comfort, some seams may cause minor irritation during intense activity. Ensure the garment is not too tight, as this can exacerbate seam pressure. Consider wearing it for shorter durations or during less strenuous activities if irritation persists.
