FAQs
Is this vest suitable for snorkeling?
Yes, the UPF 50+ protection makes it excellent for snorkeling, protecting your back and shoulders from the sun while you are floating on the surface.
Can I wear this under a wetsuit?
Absolutely. The Flatlock seams and thin nylon construction make it an ideal base layer to prevent wetsuit rash.
How should I store the garment?
Store it folded or on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Does the fabric stretch over time?
Like most technical apparel, it is designed to retain its shape, but proper rinsing after every use is vital to prevent the elasticity from degrading.
Is the material see-through?
The nylon blend is chosen for durability and coverage; however, white fabrics can be slightly translucent when wet depending on the fit.
Troubleshooting
The vest rides up during use
Ensure the boardshort loop is securely connected to your shorts and that the silicone waistband is flush against your skin.
Fabric feels stiff after drying
This is often caused by salt residue. Rinse thoroughly in fresh, lukewarm water and gently wring out before hanging to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gul Rashvest, follow these guidelines:
- Attachment: Use the internal boardshort loop by threading it through your shorts' drawstring or loop before securing your shorts for maximum stability.
- Rinsing: Always rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove minerals and chemical residues.
- Drying: Air dry the garment in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight and high-heat sources, such as radiators or tumble dryers, as these can break down the fabric's UV protection and elasticity.
- Washing: Hand wash with mild detergent if necessary. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as these can compromise the performance of the technical material.
