FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), providing excellent sun protection.

Is this rash vest suitable for all water sports?

Yes, it is designed for a wide range of water sports including surfing, paddleboarding, swimming, and kayaking, offering protection and comfort.

How do I connect the boardshort loop?

The boardshort loop on the rash vest is typically a small fabric loop. Thread the tie or loop of your boardshorts through it to secure the rash vest in place.

Can I machine wash this rash vest?

It is recommended to hand wash the rash vest with mild soap and cold water to preserve the fabric's integrity and UPF properties. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.

Will this rash vest protect me from jellyfish stings?

While the rash vest provides a layer of physical protection, it is not designed as a specific defense against jellyfish stings. Its primary purpose is UV protection and abrasion resistance.

What is the material composition?

The rash vest is made from 90% Polyester and 10% Elastane, with a focus on quick-drying and durable properties.

Troubleshooting

Rash vest feels too tight.

Consider ordering a size up if a looser fit is preferred. The performance fit is designed to be snug for optimal function during water sports.

Fabric losing elasticity.

Ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly with cold water after each use and avoid high heat during washing and drying, as this can degrade elastane.

Boardshort loop not secure.

Check that your boardshorts have a compatible loop and that both the rash vest loop and boardshort loop are properly connected before entering the water.

Skin irritation from seams.

Ensure the rash vest is rinsed thoroughly and dried flat. If irritation persists, try wearing a thinner base layer underneath or consider a different fit.
