The Ripcurl Waves UPF50 Performance Rash Vest is designed for water sports enthusiasts seeking reliable sun protection and comfort. Its key benefit is UPF 50 fabric offering excellent defense against harmful UV rays, while a boardshort loop ensures it stays in place during active use. A potential consideration is its performance fit, which might feel snug for those preferring a looser feel.

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), providing excellent sun protection.
Yes, it is designed for a wide range of water sports including surfing, paddleboarding, swimming, and kayaking, offering protection and comfort.
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.
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.
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.
The rash vest is made from 90% Polyester and 10% Elastane, with a focus on quick-drying and durable properties.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Setup: No specific setup is required for the Ripcurl Waves UPF50 Performance Rash Vest. Simply wear it as you would a t-shirt.
Compatibility: The integrated boardshort loop is designed to connect with most standard boardshorts. Ensure your boardshorts have a compatible loop for optimal security.
