FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), providing excellent protection.

Is this rash vest suitable for swimming in a chlorinated pool?

Yes, this rash vest is chlorine resistant, making it suitable for regular use in swimming pools.

How should I care for my rash vest to ensure its longevity?

Rinse with cold, fresh water after each use, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent if needed, and hang dry in the shade. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.

What is the benefit of the moisture-wicking technology?

Moisture-wicking technology pulls sweat away from your skin to the fabric's surface, where it can evaporate, helping you stay dry and comfortable.

Can this rash vest be worn under a wetsuit?

Yes, its snug fit and smooth fabric make it a comfortable base layer under a wetsuit, helping to prevent chafing and adding a slight thermal layer.

What materials is this rash vest made from?

It is made from 84% Polyester and 16% Elastane, offering a good balance of stretch, comfort, and durability.

Does the snug fit affect movement during water sports?

The snug fit is designed to reduce drag and stay in place during active use, allowing for freedom of movement in the water.

Troubleshooting

Rash vest feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If it remains too tight, consider trying a size up or a different model with a relaxed fit. The snug fit is intentional for performance.

Fabric is not drying quickly

This can occur if the moisture-wicking properties are impaired. Ensure you are using mild detergents and avoiding fabric softeners, which can clog the fibers. Rinse thoroughly after each use.

Reduced sun protection after several uses

UPF protection can diminish over time with excessive exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight during drying. Always follow care instructions, especially by avoiding high heat and direct sun when drying.

Rash vest lost its stretchiness

Over time and with heavy use, elasticity can decrease. Proper care, including immediate rinsing and avoiding high heat, helps preserve the fabric's properties. Avoid stretching the fabric excessively when wet.
