Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Patterned Rash Vest is designed for active individuals who engage in swimming, water sports, or general outdoor activities and require consistent sun protection. Its key benefit is the integrated UPF 50+ technology that effectively blocks harmful UV rays while maintaining a lightweight, comfortable feel. Please note that as a close-to-body performance garment, it is designed for a slim fit, which may require sizing up if you prefer a more relaxed feel.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this rash vest offer real sun protection?
Yes, it features integrated UPF 50+ technology, which is designed to block harmful UV rays effectively.
Can I wear this in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, but be sure to rinse it with fresh water after use to preserve the fabric's elasticity and color.
Is this vest suitable for surfing?
Absolutely. The four-way stretch and flat-lock seams make it an excellent choice for preventing chafing while paddling.
How should I wash my rash vest?
Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and air dry in the shade.
What is the warranty coverage?
The product is backed by a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
Does the fabric stretch out over time?
It is made from a durable, stretchy polyester blend designed to retain its shape through frequent use.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels restrictive during movement
Ensure the vest is sized correctly. If it remains too tight, consider sizing up to allow for a better range of motion.
Salt residue making the fabric stiff
Rinse the garment thoroughly in cool, fresh water immediately after exposure to saltwater, then hang to dry.
Skin irritation at the seams
Ensure the vest is worn directly against the skin without extra layers, and check that the flat-lock seams are positioned correctly against your body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment does not require any specialized setup—simply pull it on like a standard athletic top. Because of its moisture-wicking and UV-blocking properties, it is compatible with most outdoor water activities. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the effectiveness of the UPF protection, rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh water after every use in salt or chlorinated water to remove chemical residues. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can break down the synthetic fibers. Always air dry in the shade to prevent the sun from prematurely degrading the elastic components of the fabric.
