FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

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

Is this rash vest suitable for swimming pools?

Yes, the durable fabric is designed to withstand chlorine in swimming pools as well as salt in the ocean.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Refer to the Splash About size chart for children's UK sizing. The vest should fit snugly but comfortably, without restricting movement. The high neckline and long sleeves should cover the intended areas without being too tight.

Can this be worn under a wetsuit?

Yes, the smooth, lined fabric can help reduce chafing when worn under a wetsuit, providing an extra layer of comfort and protection.

What is the primary benefit of the full lining?

The full lining adds an extra layer of comfort, helps to prevent the fabric from clinging uncomfortably when wet, and provides additional protection against chafing from seams.

How should I care for the rash vest to ensure it lasts?

Rinse with fresh water after each use, hand wash or machine wash on delicate with cold water and mild soap, and air dry in the shade. Avoid bleach, harsh detergents, and ironing.

Does the front zip pose a choking hazard?

The zip is designed for ease of use and is typically robust. However, always supervise children during wear and ensure the zip pull is securely fastened and not dangling loosely.

Troubleshooting

Rash vest feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide and compare measurements. If between sizes, consider the larger size for a more relaxed fit.

Child experiences skin irritation

Ensure the garment is properly rinsed after use to remove any salt or chlorine residue. Check that the garment is not too tight, as this can cause friction. Consider applying a barrier cream under the arms or neck if chafing persists.

Color fading after washing

Always rinse immediately after use. Wash in cold water with mild detergent and air dry in the shade. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
