FAQs

What is UPF and why is it important?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF rating of 50+ means the fabric blocks more than 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent protection for your skin during outdoor activities.

Can I wear this rash vest under a wetsuit?

Yes, the fitted design and smooth fabric make it an ideal base layer to wear under a wetsuit for added comfort and to help prevent chafing.

How do I know if I've ordered the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart for women's UK dress sizes. The rash vest should fit snugly but comfortably, allowing for movement without excessive looseness or tightness.

What is the difference between this and a regular t-shirt?

This rash vest is made from a specialized polyester and elastane blend designed for water sports, offering UPF protection, quick-drying properties, and stretch. A regular t-shirt typically does not offer these features and may become heavy and uncomfortable when wet.

Does the print placement vary on each shirt?

Yes, the product description states that the appearance may differ slightly depending on the print placement, meaning each rash vest can have a unique pattern.

Is this rash vest suitable for swimming?

Absolutely. The fabric is designed for water, providing sun protection and freedom of movement, making it perfect for swimming.

Troubleshooting

Rash develops during wear

Ensure the garment is the correct size and fits snugly without being too tight. Rinse the garment thoroughly after each use to remove salt and sand, and ensure the fabric is smooth against the skin.

Fading of color or print

Avoid prolonged direct sunlight when not in use. Always rinse immediately after use and dry in the shade. Follow the hand wash instructions carefully.

Fabric feels stiff after use

This can happen due to salt or chlorine. Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly with fresh water after every session and hand washing regularly with mild soap as per care instructions.
