FAQs
What is UPF 50+?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, indicating that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection.
Is this vest suitable for swimming in the ocean?
Yes, it is ideal for swimming. The quick-drying fabric, UPF 50+ protection, and flat seams make it comfortable and protective in saltwater environments.
Can I wear this under a wetsuit?
Absolutely. The flat seams and stretchy, lightweight fabric are specifically designed to provide a comfortable, chafe-free layer under a wetsuit.
How should I wash the rash vest?
It is machine washable at a low temperature (around 30°C). Avoid bleach and high heat for drying to preserve the fabric's properties.
Does it offer warmth in cold water?
This rash vest is primarily designed for sun protection and quick drying, not for insulation. It offers minimal warmth in cold water.
What material is the rash vest made of?
The rash vest is made from a soft, comfortable, and stretchy polyester fabric.
What is the warranty period?
The product includes a 2-year warranty.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels tight
The rash vest is designed for a close fit to prevent chafing. If it feels too restrictive, consider sizing up for a looser feel, though this may impact its anti-chafing benefits.
Fabric seems to have lost its stretch
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions, avoiding high heat which can degrade elasticity. Gentle washing and air drying can help maintain fabric integrity.
Chafing still occurs
While designed with flat seams, ensure the fit is appropriate. A rash vest that is too large may bunch up and cause chafing. Ensure it's snug but not constricting.
