FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Can I wear this rashvest in cold water?

The Evotherm rashvest offers thermal properties but may not be sufficient on its own in very cold water. It is best used as a base layer under a wetsuit.

How do I wash the rashvest?

Rinse with fresh water after each use. Hand wash with mild detergent and hang to dry.

Is this rashvest suitable for all water sports?

Yes, it is designed for various water activities, including surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and swimming.

What is the benefit of the thumb loops?

Thumb loops prevent the sleeves from riding up when worn under a wetsuit.

What is the material of the fabric?

The rashvest is made of 8oz brushed Evotherm fabric, which is a blend of polyester.

Can I use this rashvest as a substitute for sunscreen?

No, while it provides excellent sun protection, it is recommended that you apply sunscreen to areas not covered by the rashvest.
