FAQs
Does this rash vest offer actual sun protection?
Yes, it features integrated UV-Surf technology designed to protect skin from harmful rays during water activities.
Is this vest suitable for swimming in a pool?
Yes, it is designed for both ocean and pool environments, though you should rinse it thoroughly after use in chlorinated water.
How should I choose the right size?
The product is designed with a performance-fit. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, you may want to consider sizing up, though the performance benefits are optimized with a snug fit.
Can I machine wash this vest?
We recommend hand washing in cool water to preserve the fabric's integrity and UV-resistant properties.
Does the material retain a lot of water?
No, it is made from lightweight, quick-dry nylon specifically chosen to shed water quickly after leaving the ocean.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels loose after repeated use
Ensure you are rinsing with fresh water after every use to remove salt or chlorine, which can degrade elastane fibers over time.
Skin irritation or chafing under the arms
Ensure the fit is correct and consider using a water-resistant anti-chafe balm before putting on the garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your rash vest, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after every use in salt or chlorinated water. Avoid wringing the fabric aggressively, as this can damage the elasticity of the nylon fibers. Lay the garment flat to dry in a shaded area; avoid direct sunlight for extended periods during the drying process, as excessive UV exposure can degrade the material over time. Do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry.
