FAQs
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), providing excellent sun protection.
Is this rash vest suitable for cold water?
This rash vest is primarily designed for sun protection and provides minimal thermal insulation. For cold water, it's best used as a layer under a wetsuit.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
This specific product listing is for UK Size 18. Please refer to a sizing chart if you are unsure about your measurements.
Can I machine wash this rash vest?
Hand washing is recommended for longevity. If machine washing, use a cold, gentle cycle with similar colors and avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
What is the material made of?
The rash vest is made from a blend of 86% recycled polyester and 14% elastane.
Does the fabric contain any stretch?
Yes, the 14% elastane in the fabric provides a comfortable stretch for freedom of movement.
What is the difference between this and a wetsuit?
A rash vest offers sun protection and some friction protection, while a wetsuit provides thermal insulation in colder water.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size chart for the UK 18 measurements. The stretch fabric should offer a snug fit without being overly constricting.
Sunburn through the fabric
While rated UPF 50, ensure the fabric is fully covering the skin and that there are no gaps, especially around the collar or sleeves. For prolonged exposure, reapply sunscreen to any exposed areas.
Logo peeling or fading
Follow the specific care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing and drying. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat, as these can damage printed graphics over time.
