Yes, the thin, moisture-wicking material makes it an excellent base layer to prevent wetsuit rash.
While it is primarily for sun protection, the material provides a slight layer of thermal regulation, though it is not a substitute for a thermal rash guard or neoprene suit.
Hand wash in cold fresh water after every use and air dry away from direct sunlight.
Yes, the polyester blend is designed to provide high levels of stretch to match your body's movement.
The UPF protection is inherent to the fabric construction, though regular rinsing and proper care will help maintain its effectiveness over time.
The vest is designed as an athletic fit; if comfort is compromised, ensure you are wearing the correct size, as the fabric provides compression for hydrodynamics.
Gently spot clean the affected area with mild detergent and cold water; avoid using harsh chemicals or bleaches.
Because this is a technical piece of surf gear, proper care is essential to extending its lifespan. Always rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after use in salt or chlorinated water to prevent fabric degradation. Do not wring the garment out aggressively; instead, gently squeeze excess water and hang it to dry in the shade, as direct, prolonged UV exposure can eventually weaken synthetic fibers. It is compatible with all standard wetsuits as a base layer if extra warmth or rash protection is needed.
