FAQs
Is this rash vest suitable for surfing?
Yes, the fitted design and durable fabric make it suitable for surfing and other water sports. The UPF 50+ protection is also beneficial during long sessions in the sun.
What is the primary material of this rash vest?
The rash vest is primarily made of 84% Polyester and 16% Elastane, derived from recycled materials.
How does the fitted design affect comfort?
The fitted design aims to reduce drag in the water and provide a snug, secure feel. If you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up, but be aware this may impact performance in water.
Does this rash vest offer warmth in cold water?
This rash vest is primarily designed for sun protection. While it offers a slight barrier, it is not insulated and is not intended for significant warmth in cold water.
Can I machine wash this rash vest?
It is recommended to hand wash the rash vest separately in cold water to maintain the integrity of the fabric and its protective properties. Avoid machine washing, bleaching, and tumble drying.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric provides Excellent Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays.
How should I care for the rash vest to ensure longevity?
Rinse immediately after use, hand wash in cold water with mild soap, and dry in the shade. Avoid rough surfaces and direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Rash under the arms or seams
Ensure the correct size is being worn; a too-tight fit can cause friction. Always rinse thoroughly after use to remove salt or chlorine residue that can irritate skin.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild soap and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade the fabric. Always dry in the shade as per care instructions.
Color fading
While UV protective, prolonged exposure to intense sun and salt can still affect color over time. Always rinse immediately after use and dry in the shade to maximize color vibrancy.
