FAQs
What is UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ is the highest rating for sun protective clothing, meaning the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
How do I know if the size 7-8 is correct for my child?
Size 7-8 typically corresponds to children aged 7 to 8 years old. It's always best to measure your child's chest, waist, and height and compare it with the Zoggs sizing guide for the most accurate fit.
Can this sunsuit be worn for long periods?
Yes, the UPF 50+ protection is designed for extended wear during sunny conditions. However, it is always recommended to supervise children and ensure they stay hydrated, regardless of sun protection.
How should I clean the sunsuit?
Rinse immediately in cool, fresh water after each use. Hand wash gently with mild soap if necessary and dry flat in the shade. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing.
Is this sunsuit suitable for swimming pools?
Yes, the fabric is chlorine-resistant, making it suitable for regular use in swimming pools.
Can this be worn as a standalone garment?
Yes, it can be worn as a standalone garment in warm weather or for water activities. For cooler temperatures, it can be layered over other swimwear.
What is the main benefit of the long sleeves?
The long sleeves provide enhanced sun protection for the arms, covering areas that are frequently exposed to the sun during outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Sunsuit feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the child's measurements. Consult the Zoggs sizing chart if unsure. A snug fit is desirable for optimal sun protection and performance in water.
Sunsuit fabric seems less effective after several uses
Rinse thoroughly after each use and follow the care instructions, particularly avoiding harsh detergents or high heat drying, which can degrade the fabric's UPF properties.
Zip is difficult to move
Gently try to work the zip back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. If persistent, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant (not oil-based) might help, but clean thoroughly afterward.
