The Animal Daisy Logo Rash Vest is an essential companion for water sports enthusiasts who require reliable sun protection and comfort during long hours in the water. Designed for activities like surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and swimming, this vest provides UPF 50 sun protection and improved mobility through its smart raglan-sleeved construction. While it offers excellent durability in chlorine and saltwater, users should note that as a lightweight garment, it is primarily intended for thermal regulation and sun protection rather than heavy-duty thermal insulation.

It is better suited for surface water sports. For scuba diving, a thicker wetsuit is recommended to provide necessary thermal protection.
Hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent and hang to air dry in the shade.
It offers light protection against the wind and sun but is not a thermal layer and will not provide significant insulation in cold water.
Yes, it can be worn as a base layer under a wetsuit to help prevent chafing, provided the wetsuit fit is not too tight.
UPF 50 indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, offering excellent protection.
Avoid using fabric softeners or bleaching agents during washing, as these break down the elastic fibers.
Ensure the vest is the correct size; if it is too small, the flatlock seams may dig into the skin.
To ensure the longevity of your Animal Daisy Logo Rash Vest, always rinse the garment with fresh, cold water immediately after use in salt or chlorinated water to remove chemical and mineral deposits. Avoid wringing the vest out to protect the fabric elasticity; instead, gently squeeze out excess water. Always air dry the vest in the shade, as direct sunlight can degrade the protective UPF coating over time. Ensure you check the sizing guide to select the correct UK 10 fit for your body type to ensure the compression and sun protection properties work as intended.
