Product Information
Full details
The Animal Sonny Logo Rash Vest in Orange is designed for surf enthusiasts seeking lightweight protection during summer sessions. Its primary benefit is offering essential UPF 50 sun protection with quick-drying fabric and a comfortable raglan sleeve design. A potential caveat is that while it provides sun protection, it's a lightweight layer and not a full wetsuit for warmth.

Troubleshooting
Rash after wearing
Ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly after each use to remove salt or chlorine. Check that the fit is not too tight, which can cause friction.
Sun protection seems reduced
Inspect the fabric for any signs of wear or damage that could compromise the UPF rating. Ensure the garment is worn correctly, covering all intended skin areas.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Ensure the garment is dried flat in the shade as recommended.
