FAQs
What is UPF 50 protection?
UPF 50 means that the fabric will block more than 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays when worn. This provides excellent sun protection for your skin.
Can I wear this rash vest for swimming?
Yes, this rash vest is ideal for swimming, surfing, paddleboarding, and other water activities, offering both sun protection and insulation.
How does the high collar help?
The high collar is designed to provide extra warmth and protection for your neck area, reducing chafing from wetsuits and shielding from wind and sun.
What is the material composition?
The vest is made from 85% Nylon and 15% Elastane, a blend that provides stretch, resistance, and quick-drying properties.
Is this vest suitable for cold water?
While it provides thermal insulation, it's best used as a layer under a wetsuit for significant cold water protection. On its own, it's more suited for moderate temperatures or as a sun shield.
How should I wash my rash vest?
It should be hand washed in cold water with similar colours and rinsed immediately after each use. Avoid bleach, ironing, and tumble drying.
Can this vest be worn as a base layer?
Yes, its design allows it to be worn comfortably under a wetsuit for added thermal insulation.
Troubleshooting
Rash develops after wearing
Ensure the vest is the correct size and not too tight. Rinse the vest thoroughly after each use to remove salt and sand, and ensure it is washed according to care instructions.
Reduced thermal insulation over time
The thermal properties are inherent to the fabric blend. Ensure proper washing and drying to maintain fabric integrity. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat, which can degrade materials.
Fabric losing elasticity
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use, and do not use a tumble dryer or iron. Always rinse with fresh water after use and hand wash gently.
