No, this is a rash vest designed for UV protection and rash prevention; it does not provide the thermal insulation of a neoprene wetsuit.
The UPF protection is woven into the fabric. While it remains effective for a long time, extreme wear and tear or exposure to harsh chemicals may degrade the fabric over years of use.
It is highly recommended to air dry the garment in the shade. High heat from a dryer can damage the fabric's elasticity and the integrity of the logos.
The Ripcurl rash vest is designed to be a snug, athletic fit to minimize drag in the water. If you prefer a looser feel, you may want to consider your standard sizing carefully.
Yes, its UPF 50+ rating makes it an excellent choice for other outdoor activities like hiking or beach games where sun exposure is a concern.
Ensure you are following the rinse instructions to remove salt crystals, which can stretch the fibers over time.
Soak the garment in cool fresh water for 15 minutes and gently hand-squeeze to release trapped salts.
To ensure your Ripcurl Classic Surf Long Sleeve Rash Vest lasts for many seasons, proper maintenance is crucial. Always rinse the garment thoroughly in fresh, cold water immediately after every use in salt or chlorinated water to prevent fabric degradation. Avoid leaving the vest in direct, harsh sunlight for prolonged periods when not in use, as this can affect the fabric's UV properties. Do not bleach or iron the garment, and ensure it is dried in the shade to maintain the elasticity and integrity of the fit.
