This Circle One Surf KONA Polypro rash vest is designed for women participating in cold water watersports, offering superior insulation and comfort as a standalone layer or under a wetsuit.

Its primary purpose is to provide thermal insulation for watersports in cold conditions, acting as a base layer under a wetsuit or as a standalone garment.
Yes, it can be worn on its own, especially in cooler weather where its thermal properties are beneficial. However, it is designed to be an effective base layer under a wetsuit for maximum warmth.
The Polypro Thermotech lining uses a fine microfibre fabric to trap air, creating an insulating layer that keeps you warm with minimal bulk.
It offers superior insulation for cold water and can be effective in temperatures below 10°C when worn under a wetsuit. For extremely cold conditions, consider adding a thicker wetsuit or additional thermal layers.
The vest should fit snugly against your skin to maximize the thermal insulation and prevent water from flushing through easily. The anatomical panels are designed to accommodate body shape for a comfortable fit.
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering excellent sun protection.
It is recommended to hand wash the rash vest gently in cold water. Machine washing and tumble drying can damage the fabric and its properties.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. This vest is designed for a snug thermal fit; if it feels restrictive, consider trying a larger size or a less thermally insulated rash vest.
Rinse thoroughly after each use to remove salt and sand. Follow the care instructions carefully; harsh detergents or improper drying can degrade the thermotech lining.
Verify the seams are flatlocked. Ensure the vest fits snugly to prevent excess fabric from bunching and causing friction.
Setup:
This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, thermal fit. It can be worn directly against the skin or over a thin base layer for added warmth.
