Product Information
Full details
The O'Neill Short Sleeve Rash Vest is designed for young riders participating in water sports, offering excellent UPF 50+ UV protection to ensure safe enjoyment of the sun. Its primary benefit is superior sun defense combined with comfort for active use. A minor consideration is its tight fit, which is ideal for performance but may feel restrictive out of the water for some. Key features include UPF 50+ protection, a recycled polyamide construction, flatlock stitching, and a short-sleeve, round-neck design.

FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?

Can this be worn as a standalone top?
Yes, it can be worn on its own on warm, sunny days for sun protection.
How do I choose the right size?

What is the warranty period?

Troubleshooting
Rash develops under the vest
Ensure the vest is rinsed thoroughly after each use to remove salt and sand. Verify the fit is correct; a vest that is too loose can cause friction.
UPF protection seems to be decreasing
Follow care instructions meticulously. Avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight while drying and never iron the garment, as heat can damage the UV-protective fibers.
Stitching coming undone
If the flatlock stitching begins to fray, discontinue use and inspect for further damage. Contact customer support if within the warranty period.
