Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Patterned Rash Vest is designed for swimmers and outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable sun protection during active days in the water or under intense sunlight. Its primary benefit is the built-in UPF 50+ technology that effectively blocks harmful UV rays while offering a comfortable, slim-fit design that won't restrict movement. Please note that while the fabric is quick-drying and high-performing, users should consult the sizing guide carefully, as the slim-fit construction is tailored for a snug, aerodynamic feel.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this rash vest offer protection against jellyfish stings?
While the vest covers the torso to provide a physical barrier, it is primarily designed for sun protection and is not officially rated as anti-sting apparel.
Can I wear this in a swimming pool?
Yes, it is perfectly suitable for chlorinated pools, though you should rinse it thoroughly with fresh water afterward to extend the life of the fabric.
Is the material see-through?
The material is designed to be opaque, though the slim-fit nature means it will sit close to the skin.
What does the 2-year warranty cover?
The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
Should I size up for a more relaxed fit?
The vest is designed for a slim, performance fit. If you prefer more room, you may consider sizing up, though this may impact the efficiency of the moisture-wicking properties.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels slightly loose after repeated use
Ensure you are hand-washing in cold water and avoiding high-heat drying methods to maintain fiber elasticity.
Visible sand stuck in the seams
Rinse the garment thoroughly in a basin of fresh, cool water while gently stretching the seams to flush out debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your rash vest retains its UV-blocking capabilities and shape, rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after every use in salt or chlorinated water to remove chemical residues. Avoid using bleach, tumble dryers, or ironing, as these can degrade the stretch fibers. For optimal storage, lay the vest flat or hang it to dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight, which can prematurely break down technical fabrics. When used under a wetsuit, ensure both garments are free of sand or grit to prevent unwanted abrasion.
