FAQs
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays when worn.
Is this rash vest suitable for cold water?
This rash vest primarily offers sun protection and a slight layer for warmth. It is not designed as a thermal wetsuit and may not provide sufficient warmth in very cold water.
Can I machine wash this rash vest?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the rash vest with mild soap to preserve the fabric's integrity and protective qualities. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.
What is the material of the rash vest?
The rash vest is made from a soft, resistant stretch recycled polyester elastane jersey fabric, composed of 86% Polyester and 14% Elastane.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. It's important to get a snug fit, but not so tight that it restricts movement or causes discomfort. The material does have stretch.
Will this vest protect me from jellyfish stings?
While the fabric provides a physical barrier, it is not designed to offer specific protection against jellyfish stings. Its primary purpose is sun protection.
Can I wear this vest for activities other than surfing?
Yes, this rash vest is versatile and suitable for any activity where sun protection is needed, including swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, beachcombing, or any outdoor water-based activity.
Troubleshooting
Rash occurs during wear.
Ensure the vest is the correct size and not too tight. Rinse the vest thoroughly after each use to remove salt or chlorine, and check for any rough seams or tags that might be causing irritation.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild soap and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid using fabric softeners. Drying flat in the shade should help maintain fabric softness.
Sun protection seems reduced.
Verify the fabric is not excessively stretched or worn thin. While rated UPF 50, extreme stretching can compromise protection. Always apply sunscreen to exposed areas not covered by the vest.
