Featuring UPF 50+ fabric, it provides high-level defense against harmful UV rays while offering a comfortable, performance-oriented fit.

Yes, the polyester material is resistant to chlorine, making it suitable for both pool use and ocean activities.
It provides UPF 50+ protection for the areas covered by the fabric, but please use sunscreen on exposed skin like your forearms, neck, and face.
Absolutely. It acts as a great base layer to prevent chafing caused by wetsuit neoprene.
Rinse with fresh, cold water after every use. If necessary, use a mild detergent specifically designed for synthetic sportswear, then hang dry in the shade.
It means the garment is cut to be snug against the skin to reduce drag in the water and prevent fabric bunching during movement.
No, it is designed to get wet and dry quickly. It is not intended to keep you dry while in the water.
The vest is designed with a performance fit; if you prefer more room, consider sizing up or choosing a more relaxed style in the Ripcurl collection.
Ensure the integrated boardshort loop is securely attached to the drawstring or waistband of your shorts before you start your session.
Check your cleaning routine; ensure you are rinsing with fresh water after every use and avoiding direct sunlight for extended periods during drying.
To maximize the lifespan of your Ripcurl Waves Rash Vest, always rinse it thoroughly in fresh, cold water immediately after use in salt or chlorinated water to prevent chemical breakdown of the fabric. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, and never tumble dry, as high heat can damage the synthetic fibers and elastic components. Hang the vest to dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight, which can cause premature fading and fiber degradation. When putting it on, ensure the boardshort loop is properly secured through the drawstring or waistband of your boardshorts before entering the water to ensure the garment stays in place.
