FAQs

What is UPF 50+ protection?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, offering excellent protection for your skin.

Is this rash vest suitable for swimming?

Yes, this short sleeve skin is specifically designed for watersports, including swimming, surfing, and paddleboarding, providing protection and reducing chafing.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The garment has a tight fit. Consult the sizing chart provided by O'Neill and measure yourself accurately. The material has some stretch, but a snug fit is intended for performance.

Can I wear this in chlorine pools?

Yes, you can wear it in chlorine pools, but it is crucial to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately afterward to prevent damage to the fabric and preserve its properties.

What does 'recycled polyamide' mean?

Recycled polyamide is a type of nylon made from pre-consumer or post-consumer waste materials. Using it helps reduce environmental impact by conserving resources and reducing waste.

Does it provide warmth?

While not designed as primary insulation, the tight fit and polyester material offer a minimal thermal layer, useful under a wetsuit or in slightly cooler water conditions.

Troubleshooting

Rash or irritation during wear

Ensure the garment is the correct size and not too tight. Always rinse the garment thoroughly after each use to remove salt or sand residue. Confirm that the flatlock stitching is not causing discomfort.

Boardshorts connector not fitting

The connector is designed for general compatibility. If it doesn't secure to your specific boardshorts, consider alternative methods of keeping the skin in place or evaluate if the fit of the skin is optimal.

Reduced UV protection over time

Follow care instructions carefully to preserve fabric integrity and UPF rating. Avoid excessive heat, harsh chemicals, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use, as these can degrade the material.
