Product Information
Full details
The Billabong Rashguard Long Sleeve Rash Vest is an essential piece of surfwear designed for water sports enthusiasts who require both protection and mobility. Featuring a performance-fit cut and built-in UV-Surf technology, this garment shields the skin from harmful rays while maintaining a streamlined silhouette that stays secure during active sessions in the water. While it offers excellent versatility for paddling or lounging, users should note that the performance-fit is deliberately snug to prevent drag, which may require sizing adjustments for those who prefer a looser aesthetic.

How should I choose the right size?

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels too tight

White residue on fabric
This is likely salt build-up; soak the garment in fresh, lukewarm water for 30 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your rash vest, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse after use: Always rinse the garment in fresh water immediately after exposure to saltwater or chlorine to remove mineral deposits.
- Hand wash: If necessary, use a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid harsh bleach or abrasive cleaning agents.
- Drip dry: Hang the vest in the shade to dry. Direct, prolonged sunlight can degrade the fabric elasticity over time.
- Avoid heat: Do not tumble dry or iron the vest, as the heat will damage the synthetic fibers and UV protection technology.
