FAQs

Does this rash vest offer sun protection?

Yes, it provides UPF 50+ UV protection, which is the highest rating for skin protection against solar radiation.

Can I wear this in a chlorinated pool?

Yes, but ensure you rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh water after each use to prevent the chlorine from degrading the fabric.

How should I wash the vest?

Hand wash in cold water using a mild soap. Never use bleach or fabric softener.

Is the material stretchy?

The fabric is designed with enough stretch for athletic movement, though it is meant to have a compression-style fit.

Will this protect me from jellyfish stings?

While the fabric provides a physical barrier, it is not specifically tested as medical-grade protection against jellyfish.

Does it have a loop to attach to boardshorts?

The Classic Surf model is a standard rash vest design and does not typically include an attachment loop for boardshorts.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct UK dress size. If it feels too tight, consider sizing up for a more comfortable fit, though a snug fit is standard for performance rash vests.

Visible salt or white residue on the fabric

This is likely dried salt crystals. Hand wash the item in cold water with mild detergent and ensure it is fully rinsed before air drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Ripcurl rash vest, proper care is essential. Always rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after every use in salt or chlorinated water to remove chemical residues. Avoid using bleach, tumble dryers, or ironing, as these can break down the fabric's protective fibers. Hang the garment to dry in the shade, as direct sunlight can lead to fading and material breakdown over time.
