FAQs

What age group is this rash vest for?

This is a junior rash vest, suitable for children. The specific size is 7-8 years, as indicated by the product title.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, offering excellent sun protection.

Is this vest suitable for swimming in the ocean?

Yes, it is ideal for swimming and other water sports in the ocean due to its UV protection and comfortable, quick-drying material.

Can this rash vest be worn under a wetsuit?

Yes, the smooth I-FLEX material and flatlock seams make it suitable for layering under a wetsuit for added comfort and to prevent chafing.

How do I ensure the vest fits properly?

The vest should fit snugly like a second skin without being uncomfortably tight. Use the size chart provided by the manufacturer and consider the child's chest and height measurements. Features like the silicone gripper waistband and boardshort loop are designed to maintain a secure fit.

Does this vest provide any flotation?

No, this rash vest is designed for sun protection and comfort only. It does not provide any buoyancy or flotation assistance.

What materials is the vest made from?

Troubleshooting

Rash vest feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart. The I-FLEX material has stretch, but a size too small will be uncomfortable.

Seams feel irritating

While designed to be chafe-free, ensure the vest is rinsed thoroughly after use to remove any salt or sand that might cause friction. Check for any loose threads.

Vest rides up during activity

Ensure the boardshort loop is attached to your board shorts. The silicone gripper waistband should also help keep it in place; ensure it is clean and dry.

Discoloration or material degradation

Follow care instructions carefully, especially regarding rinsing after use and avoiding harsh chemicals or high heat.
