FAQs
What is UPF 50+?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It means the fabric allows only 1/50th (or less) of the UV radiation to pass through it, offering excellent protection against the sun's harmful rays.
How do I ensure the correct size?
Refer to the Zoggs sizing guide for children's apparel. Measure your child's chest and height and compare it to the chart provided. This particular item is sized for UK children aged 9-10 years.
Can this sun top be worn in the sea?
Yes, it can be worn in the sea. However, it is essential to rinse the garment thoroughly in fresh water after use to remove salt and sand, which can degrade the fabric over time.
How should I wash the sun top?
Hand wash the sun top in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning. Always rinse after use.
Is this a replacement for sunscreen?
No, while UPF 50+ offers excellent protection, it is recommended to use this sun top in conjunction with sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses, and to seek shade during peak sun hours, especially for sensitive skin.
How long will the chlorine resistance last?
The chlorine-resistant fabric is designed to withstand regular pool use. Proper care, including rinsing immediately after swimming and washing according to instructions, will help prolong its effectiveness.
What other sizes are available?
This model, the Zoggs Bells Long Sleeve Sun Top, is available in various children's sizes. Please check the product listings for other available sizes.
Troubleshooting
Sun top feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the Zoggs sizing chart. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed or if the garment has shrunk slightly due to washing.
Fabric has lost its stretch or shape
This can happen with prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or improper drying. Ensure you are following the recommended hand wash and drip dry instructions carefully. Avoid wringing the garment excessively.
Seams are causing irritation
While designed for comfort, some individuals may find certain seams irritating. Ensure the garment is properly rinsed and not dried with fabric softener, which can sometimes affect fabric texture. Washing the garment before first use may also help soften the seams.
Color has faded significantly
Fading can occur with prolonged exposure to sunlight and chlorine. Always rinse the garment immediately after use, wash in cold water with mild detergent, and dry in the shade. Storing the garment away from direct light when not in use can also help preserve color.
