Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Hoku II Camo Swim Top is designed for active individuals who spend significant time in or near the water and need reliable sun protection without sacrificing mobility. It provides essential UV defense and rapid moisture management, making it an ideal choice for swimming, snorkeling, or beach sports. While it offers excellent coverage, potential users should note that the long-sleeve design may be warmer than a traditional tank-style swimsuit during intense physical activity in very hot conditions.

FAQs
Does this swim top offer full UV protection?
It provides a UPF 30+ rating, which blocks a significant amount of UVA and UVB radiation, but it is always recommended to use sunscreen on exposed skin.
Can I wear this for surfing?
Yes, the long-sleeve design is excellent for reducing friction against a surfboard and providing sun protection during long surf sessions.
Is the material stretchy?
The polyester fabric is designed to be durable and hold its shape, providing enough flexibility for active water sports.
How should I wash this garment?
Hand wash in cold water using a mild soap. Avoid bleach and tumble drying to maintain the integrity of the technical fabric.
Is this top suitable for cold water?
It is not a thermal layer, but it provides a light barrier against the elements. For very cold water, you may want to layer it underneath a thicker wetsuit.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after pool use
Chlorine buildup can stiffen synthetic fibers. Ensure you rinse the garment thoroughly in plain, cool water after every use.
Visible sand stuck in fabric weave
Once the garment is completely dry, gently shake it out. If sand persists, soak the item in cool water and rinse carefully to flush out particulates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Hoku II Swim Top, rinse it thoroughly in fresh, cold water immediately after every use in salt or chlorinated water to remove chemical residues. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the UV-resistant properties of the polyester fibers. Hang the garment to dry in a shaded area; avoid direct, prolonged sunlight during the drying process to prevent fabric bleaching. The top is designed as a standalone piece but layers comfortably under a wetsuit for added warmth in colder water.
