The Ripcurl Classic Surf Long Sleeve Rash Vest is an essential garment for water sports enthusiasts who require reliable sun protection and comfort during extended sessions in the ocean. Designed for surfers, swimmers, and beachgoers, this vest provides UPF 50+ UV protection, effectively shielding skin from harmful rays. While it offers excellent durability and performance, users should note that as a performance-fit garment, it is designed to sit snugly against the body to prevent drag while swimming.

UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing an excellent level of sun protection.
Rash vests are designed to fit snugly. A tighter fit prevents the vest from shifting or causing chafing while you are active in the water.
Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use to prevent the chlorine from breaking down the fabric fibers.
Absolutely. The long sleeves provide great protection against sun exposure on your back and arms while you are floating on the surface.
These vests follow standard UK dress sizing. Since it is a performance fit, choose your usual size if you prefer a snug fit, or size up if you prefer slightly more room.
Ensure you are rinsing with fresh water and avoiding high-heat drying, which can stretch out synthetic fibers.
Allow the garment to dry completely in the shade, then gently shake or brush the fabric to loosen and remove trapped sand particles.
To ensure the longevity of your Ripcurl Rash Vest, it is important to treat the fabric correctly. After every use in saltwater or chlorinated pools, rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh, cool water to remove salt, sand, and chemical residue. Avoid wringing out the vest, as this can damage the elasticity of the fabric; instead, gently squeeze out excess water. Always hang-dry the vest in the shade, as direct, prolonged sunlight can eventually degrade technical fabrics. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these will compromise the UPF rating and fabric structure.
