FAQs
What level of sun protection does this vest provide?
It provides UPF 50+ protection, which blocks the vast majority of harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Is this vest suitable for chlorine pools?
Yes, the nylon material is designed to be durable, though you should rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after each swim.
Does this vest provide full-arm protection?
No, it features three-quarter length sleeves for a balance of protection and mobility.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to hang dry in the shade to maintain the elasticity and UV-blocking properties of the nylon fabric.
Is the material stretchy?
The nylon construction offers enough stretch to be comfortable for active children while maintaining its fit during water play.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and avoiding harsh fabric softeners which can coat the fibers.
Color fading after intense sun exposure
While the fabric is durable, always rinse out salt or chlorine after use, as these chemicals can accelerate fading when combined with strong sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This rash vest is designed for immediate use right out of the packaging. To ensure the longevity of the UPF protection and the integrity of the fabric, rinse the vest in fresh, cool water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove salt and chemical residue. Do not leave the wet vest bundled up in a bag for long periods. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and hang to dry away from direct, harsh sunlight to prevent premature fading of the striped pattern.
