FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this rash vest?

The primary purpose is to provide UPF 50+ UVA and UVB sun protection for children during water and outdoor activities, while also offering comfort and preventing chafing.

What material is the rash vest made of?

It is made from GUL's I-FLEX nylon/spandex blend, which is soft, stretchy, and durable.

How does the rash vest stay in place?

It stays in place thanks to a combination of a silicone gripper waistband and a boardshort loop designed to attach to swimwear.

Can this rash vest be worn under a wetsuit?

Yes, it can be worn under a wetsuit. The smooth material and flatlock seams help prevent chafing, and it adds an extra layer of UV protection.

Is this rash vest suitable for very cold water?

This rash vest is primarily designed for sun protection in warm weather. For cold water, it would need to be used as a base layer under a suitable wetsuit or thermal top.

How should I clean the rash vest?

Rinse with fresh water after use and hand wash gently with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Dry flat in the shade.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent protection.

Troubleshooting

Rash vest feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the product's sizing chart. The I-FLEX material has stretch, but proper sizing is key for comfort and mobility.

Seams causing irritation

Verify the vest is being worn the correct way around. The flatlock seams are designed for comfort, so ensure they are positioned smoothly against the skin.

Vest rides up during activity

Utilize the boardshort loop to secure the vest to compatible swimwear. Also, ensure the silicone gripper waistband is lying flat against the skin.

Fading of color after washing

Always rinse immediately after use and follow the care instructions precisely, especially regarding drying in the shade and avoiding harsh detergents.
