FAQs
Does this rashvest provide protection against jellyfish stings?
While the primary purpose is UPV 50+ sun protection, the long-sleeve coverage does offer a physical barrier against minor abrasions and some environmental elements.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash in fresh, cool water to preserve the elasticity and protective properties of the fabric.
Is the sizing true to size?
The rashvest is designed for a performance, snug fit. If you prefer a less compressed feel, you may consider checking the size guide measurements.
What is the purpose of the thumb loops?
The thumb loops help keep the sleeves from riding up your arms while you are swimming or paddling, providing extra sun coverage for your wrists.
Can this be worn under a wetsuit?
Yes, the flatlock seams make it an excellent base layer under a wetsuit to prevent chafing.
Troubleshooting
Vest keeps riding up during movement
Ensure the boardshort loop is properly attached to your shorts and that the silicone gripper waistband is lying flat against your skin.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This is often caused by residue from laundry detergents. Rinse the garment again in plain water and ensure it is not machine dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your Gul Rashvest, ensure you select the appropriate size for a compression-style fit. Before entering the water, secure the boardshort loop to your shorts to lock the vest into position. After use, it is critical to rinse the garment thoroughly in fresh, cool water to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Avoid using strong detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the nylon fibers and diminish the UPV protection. Always hang dry the vest in a shaded area, as direct, prolonged sunlight can eventually affect the elasticity of the fabric.
