Yes, it is designed to be a versatile base layer and fits comfortably under most wetsuits to provide an extra layer of core warmth.
It is primarily designed for cold water, but it can be used in summer as a sun-protection top if the water temperature allows.
Hand wash in cold water using a mild, non-detergent soap. Do not tumble dry or iron.
Yes, this product is sized according to standard UK women's dress sizes for a snug, high-performance fit.
Yes, the fabric features UPF 50+ protection, blocking 98% of harmful UV rays.
The water-resistant outer coating provides significant wind resistance, helping to mitigate the wind-chill effect significantly better than standard rash guards.
Ensure the vest and your skin are relatively dry before putting it on, or use a small amount of fresh water to help it slide over the skin more easily.
Check if you have used fabric softener recently; if so, rinse thoroughly. Over time, consider using a technical fabric water-repellent spray designed for synthetic watersports gear.
To ensure the longevity of your KONA Thermal Rash Vest, always rinse it with fresh, cold water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-resistant coating and damage the Thermotech fibres. Hang the vest to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight which can degrade the materials. When storing, lay the garment flat or hang it on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shape. It is compatible with most wetsuits and can be worn comfortably beneath them without creating bulk.
