FAQs

Can I wear this in a chlorinated pool?

Yes, it is suitable for chlorinated pools, but you should rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh water immediately after your swim to protect the fabric fibers.

Does this rash vest provide warmth?

It is designed primarily for sun protection and is not a thermal wetsuit. It may provide a very slight layer of warmth in tropical waters, but it is not intended for insulation.

Is the fabric see-through?

The fabric is designed for athletic wear and provides adequate coverage, though as with any slim-fit garment, the level of opacity depends on the specific fit and stretch tension.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing the highest level of sun protection available in clothing.

How do I determine my size?

The rash vest is a slim-fit garment. We recommend referring to the standard UK dress size guidelines provided by Mountain Warehouse.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels loose after repeated use

Ensure you are rinsing the salt or chlorine out thoroughly, as mineral buildup can cause fibers to lose elasticity.

Skin irritation or redness

While the flat seams are designed to prevent chafing, ensure the vest is the correct size; a fit that is too small can cause unnecessary tension on the skin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent UPF 50+ UV protection
  • Quick-drying material for comfort
  • Chafe-reducing flat seams
  • Lightweight and travel-friendly
  • Durable design backed by a 2-year warranty

Cons

  • Slim-fit style may feel tight for some users
  • Not intended for thermal insulation in cold water
  • Specific patterned designs may vary by availability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Mountain Warehouse Rash Vest, follow these care instructions:

  1. Rinse after use: Always rinse the garment in fresh, cold water immediately after use in salt or chlorinated water to remove chemical residues.
  2. Avoid Wringing: Gently squeeze out excess water rather than twisting the fabric, as wringing can damage the stretch fibers.
  3. Drying: Hang the vest to dry in the shade. Direct sunlight over time can degrade the fabric's UV-blocking properties.
  4. Storage: Ensure the garment is completely dry before folding and storing it in a cool, dark place.
