Full details
The Kite Reef Time Swim Trunks are designed for active children who enjoy water play, offering a balance of sun safety and comfort for long days at the beach or pool. Featuring a vibrant reef-inspired print, these trunks are crafted from durable, eco-conscious materials that prioritize both skin safety and environmental standards. While they provide excellent protection against UVA and UVB rays, users should note that sun protection is only provided for covered areas, so supplemental sunscreen on exposed skin remains necessary.

FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric allows only 1/50th of the sun's UV radiation to reach the skin, providing excellent protection.
Are these trunks suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, they are Oeko-Tex approved, meaning the materials have been tested for harmful substances to ensure safety for children.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the trunks in the shade to preserve the material's elasticity and UPF properties.
What is PFC-free fabric?
PFC-free means the fabric is manufactured without perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used for water repellency but can be harmful to the environment.
How do I choose the right size?
The trunks are labeled by age (e.g., 5 years). Consult the specific size guide to ensure a comfortable fit based on your child's typical clothing size.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after swimming
This is likely salt or chlorine buildup. Rinse thoroughly in fresh, cool water and use a mild detergent during your next wash.
Print appears slightly faded after a season
Ensure the trunks are dried out of direct sunlight and avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can compromise the fabric finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the UPF protection and the vibrancy of the Reef Time print, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the trunks with cool, fresh water after use in salt or chlorinated water to remove chemical residues.
- Gentle Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy fabric softeners, as these can degrade the technical fibers.
- Air Dry: Line dry in the shade. Direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods during the drying process can eventually lead to fabric fading.
- Storage: Ensure the trunks are completely dry before storing them away to prevent mildew or odor buildup.
