Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Rash Vest is a essential piece of gear for water sports enthusiasts, swimmers, and beachgoers who need reliable sun protection without sacrificing mobility. Featuring UPF50+ fabric, this vest is designed for maximum comfort during long hours in the water, though users should note that its close-fit design is intended to minimize drag, which may feel tighter than standard swimwear.

FAQs
Does this vest provide warmth?
This vest is primarily for sun protection and anti-chafing. It offers minimal thermal insulation.
Can I wash this in the machine?
We recommend hand washing in cool water to preserve the elasticity and UV-protective fibers.
Is the fabric see-through?
No, the material is opaque and designed for full coverage and support during water activities.
What does UPF50+ mean?
UPF50+ indicates that the fabric allows only 1/50th of the sun's UV radiation to reach the skin, blocking 98% of rays.
Should I wear sunscreen underneath?
While the fabric provides a high level of protection, it is always recommended to apply sunscreen to exposed skin areas not covered by the vest.
Can this be worn for non-water sports?
Yes, its moisture-wicking and sun-protective properties make it suitable for other outdoor activities like hiking or cycling.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels overly tight.
The vest is designed for a compression-style fit to reduce drag. Ensure you have selected your correct UK dress size, but note that it will naturally feel more snug than a casual t-shirt.
Visible white residue on fabric.
This is likely dried salt or pool chemicals. Rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh water after every use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Mountain Warehouse Rash Vest is ready to wear immediately. When used as a base layer, pull it on before donning your wetsuit to ensure the seams are positioned correctly against your skin. To maximize the longevity of the UPF treatment and the elasticity of the fabric, always rinse the vest in fresh, cool water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools. Avoid wringing the fabric out; instead, gently squeeze excess water and hang it to dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight.
