This Ripcurl Long Sleeve Rash Vest in Green is designed for water sports enthusiasts seeking UV protection and comfort. Its primary benefit is providing UPF 50+ sun protection, crucial for extended periods in the water. A potential caveat is that it's a performance vest, meaning its fit is designed to be snug for reduced drag, which may not appeal to those preferring a looser fit.

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), providing excellent sun protection.
Yes, it is suitable for swimming in pools. However, always rinse it with fresh water afterward to remove chlorine, which can degrade the fabric over time.
While it provides UV protection and a light layer, it is not designed as a thermal wetsuit base layer for diving in cold water. It's best suited for surface watersports.
This rash vest has a performance fit, meaning it is tighter and more form-fitting than a standard t-shirt to reduce drag in the water.
It is made from a blend of 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane.
The elastic loop is typically tied through the drawstring or an eyelet on compatible boardshorts to keep the rash vest from riding up.
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. Rash vests are designed for a snug, performance fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if this style is suitable for your needs.
Follow the care instructions carefully, especially avoiding harsh detergents and high heat. Hand washing and line drying in shade can help preserve the print's integrity.
Check for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure it is properly attached to your boardshorts. If the loop itself is stretched, it may require repair or replacement.
Setup: This rash vest requires no setup; simply wear it. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: Compatible with most swimwear and boardshorts. The elastic loop is designed to connect with standard boardshort tie systems.
