FAQs

Does this rash vest offer real sun protection?

Yes, it is rated UPF50+, which blocks 98% of the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Can my child wear this as a regular shirt?

Absolutely. The waffle knit design makes it look and feel like a comfortable long-sleeve tee, making it great for vacation wear.

Is the material recycled?

Yes, this garment is crafted using recycled materials as part of Grass & Air's commitment to sustainable production.

How should I wash the vest?

Use a gentle machine wash cycle with mild detergent, and always air dry in the shade.

What is the best way to prevent color fading?

Always rinse after chlorine exposure and avoid drying the garment under direct, intense sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after swimming

This is likely due to salt or chlorine buildup. Ensure a thorough rinse in fresh water after every swim.

Visible snagging on the waffle texture

Be mindful of rough surfaces like concrete pool decks. If a snag occurs, avoid pulling it; gently smooth the surrounding fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Grass & Air rash vest remains in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the garment with cool, fresh water immediately after use in a swimming pool or the ocean to remove chlorine or salt.
  2. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can break down the technical fibers.
  3. Drying: Air dry the garment in the shade. Direct, harsh sunlight can fade colors over time and may weaken the fibers.
  4. Storage: Ensure the garment is completely dry before folding and storing to prevent musty odors.
  5. Compatibility: This item is designed to be worn independently or over a swimsuit; it fits true to standard UK sizing for a size 4.
