Product Information

Full details

The Splash About Long Sleeve Rash Top is designed for active kids who spend extended time in the water, offering a vital layer of UPF 50+ sun protection against harmful UV rays. Perfect for parents seeking reliable beach or poolside gear, this garment combines long-sleeve coverage with a comfortable, fully lined interior to prevent chafing; however, users should note that consistent sun cream application on exposed skin is still necessary for full body coverage.

FAQs

Is the sun protection effective when wet?

Yes, the UPF 50+ rating is engineered into the fabric and remains effective even when the garment is fully submerged.

Does this rash top replace sunscreen?

The top covers the areas it touches, but you must still apply sunscreen to any exposed skin like the face, hands, and legs.

Can I wash this in the machine?

We recommend a gentle hand wash or a cool, delicate machine cycle to extend the life of the fabric and the zipper.

Is this suitable for both salt and chlorinated water?

Yes, the material is designed to be durable against both salt and chlorine exposure.

What if my child is between sizes?

For rash tops, we generally recommend choosing the size that fits your child's age or weight range, but sizing up if they are between sizes to allow for growth.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is sticking or hard to pull

Ensure no sand or salt crystals are trapped in the zipper teeth by rinsing thoroughly with fresh water.

Fabric feels loose after repeated use

Check that the garment has not been dried in a high-heat tumble dryer, which can break down the elastane fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent UPF 50+ UV protection rating
  • Full lining provides high comfort levels
  • Durable design resistant to pool chemicals and saltwater
  • Easy-access front zipper for quick changes
  • Provides physical barrier against sand and wind

Cons

  • Requires proper sizing for maximum sun protection efficiency
  • Zipper may require care when pulling near small fingers
  • Only covers upper body, requiring additional sun protection for legs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the UPF 50+ fabric, rinse the garment with fresh cold water immediately after each use to remove salt, chlorine, and sand. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the elasticity and UV-blocking properties of the material. Always air dry the rash top in the shade rather than in direct sunlight or a tumble dryer. Ensure the zipper is fully closed before washing to prevent snagging on other items. Check the size guide specifically for the 1-2 year age range to ensure a snug but comfortable fit that doesn't restrict movement.
