FAQs

What is UPF 50+ protection?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation when worn. It is the highest rating for sun-protective clothing.

Is this rash vest suitable for surfing?

Yes, the fitted design, stretch fabric, and durable construction make it well-suited for surfing and other water sports where movement and protection are key.

Can I wear this rash vest in a swimming pool?

Yes, but it is essential to rinse the vest with fresh water immediately after swimming in a chlorinated pool to preserve the fabric and its elasticity.

What does 'recycled fabric' mean in this context?

It means the polyester and elastane used in the vest have been reclaimed from post-consumer waste or industrial plastic, reducing the need for virgin materials and minimizing environmental impact.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

The vest should fit snugly against your skin without being uncomfortably tight. There should be no excessive bagginess, as this can lead to chafing and reduced effectiveness of the UV protection. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.

Will this rash vest protect me from jellyfish stings?

While the fabric offers some barrier protection, this rash vest is not designed as a primary defense against jellyfish stings. Its main purpose is UV protection and preventing chafing.

How quickly does the fabric dry?

The blend of polyester and elastane is engineered for quick-drying properties, allowing you to transition from water to land comfortably without prolonged dampness.

Troubleshooting

Rash vest feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the vest is the correct size, the fitted design may take some time to adapt to your body with wear. Try stretching the fabric gently in different directions while damp.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently rinse the zipper area with fresh water. Apply a small amount of beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track, then move the zipper up and down several times.

Material feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild soap and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade the fabric's elasticity. Hang dry in the shade rather than using a machine dryer.

Color seems to fade.

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, especially when wet, can cause fading. Always rinse immediately after use and dry in the shade as per care instructions. Store away from direct light when not in use.
