FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ is a rating indicating that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Can I wear this under a wetsuit?

Yes, it acts as an excellent base layer to prevent wetsuit rash and provide extra warmth.

How should I wash the vest?

Hand wash with cold water and air dry in the shade. Avoid dryers, irons, and harsh chemicals.

Is the fabric quick-drying?

Yes, the material is specifically chosen for water sports and is designed to dry relatively quickly compared to standard cotton shirts.

Does it provide warmth?

While it is primarily for sun protection, the material provides a slight thermal layer for comfort in temperate water.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels too tight

The garment is designed for a performance fit. If it is uncomfortable, consider sizing up if a looser fit is preferred.

Salt residue buildup

Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every ocean session to prevent salt crystals from damaging the fabric fibers.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Ripcurl rash vest, proper care is essential. Always rinse the garment with fresh, cold water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove chemical residues. Avoid using detergents or bleach, and do not iron the garment. Hang the vest to dry in the shade, as direct sunlight can degrade the fabric's protective properties over time. Compatibility is straightforward; the garment can be worn alone as a top or layered underneath a wetsuit for added warmth or protection against suit chaffing.
