FAQs
What is UPF protection?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 50+ rating means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays.
Is this rash vest suitable for swimming laps?
While it offers protection and comfort, the loose fit is primarily designed for casual wear and watersports rather than the performance demands of competitive swimming laps.
Can I wear this for surfing?
Yes, the rash vest provides protection against sun and board rash, making it suitable for surfing and other board sports.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The rash vest is designed for a loose fit. It should feel comfortable with room for movement, not tight or constricting.
What materials is the rash vest made from?
It is made from 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, with a focus on recycled stretch fabric.
Does this offer any warmth in cold water?
This rash vest primarily offers sun protection and prevents chafing. It provides minimal thermal insulation for cold water conditions.
Troubleshooting
