The Ripcurl Waves UPF50 Performance Rash Vest is an essential piece of apparel for surfers, swimmers, and beach enthusiasts who require reliable sun protection without sacrificing mobility. Engineered with high-performance polyester fabric, it provides UPF 50 sun safety while resisting the damaging effects of salt and chlorine, though users should be aware that the performance fit is intentionally snug and may feel tighter than a standard casual t-shirt.

Yes, the material is specifically designed to resist degradation from chlorine.
Hand wash with fresh water and mild soap, then hang dry in the shade.
The UPF 50 rating is built into the fabric fibers, but it may gradually diminish over many years of heavy wear and UV exposure.
While the fabric provides a physical barrier, it is primarily intended for sun and chafe protection, not as a specialized sting-proof suit.
The garment is engineered for a snug performance fit. If you prefer a loose feel, you may consider a larger size, but note that this may cause more drag in the water.
This is a characteristic of the 'Performance Fit'. Ensure the fabric is pulled evenly over the shoulders and torso to distribute the tension.
Ensure you are utilizing the integrated elastic boardshort loop to anchor the hem of the vest to your shorts.
To get the most out of your vest, ensure you select the appropriate size for a performance fit, which should feel snug but not restrictive. To attach to your boardshorts, simply pass the elastic loop through the drawstring or specific attachment point on your shorts before tying them. For care, always rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh cold water immediately after swimming in salt or chlorinated pools to remove residual chemicals. Do not iron or bleach the shirt, and hang it to dry in the shade to prevent the sun from compromising the technical fabric fibers over time.
