FAQs

Does this provide real sun protection?

Yes, it features UPF 50+ fabric, which blocks a significant amount of UVA and UVB radiation.

Can I wear this in a swimming pool?

Yes, the fabric is specifically treated to be chlorine resistant, making it suitable for pool use.

How does the sizing run?

The garment is designed for a snug athletic fit. If you prefer a looser style, you may want to consider sizing up.

Is it machine washable?

It can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, though hand washing is recommended to prolong the fabric's life.

Does it have long or short sleeves?

This specific model features a short-sleeve design for maximum mobility and temperature regulation.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels restrictive during movement

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Rash vests are designed for a close-to-body fit, but if it feels too tight, you may need a larger size to accommodate movement.

Visible salt residue after drying

Thoroughly rinse the garment with fresh water immediately after leaving the ocean to prevent salt crystallization within the fibers.

Minor skin irritation during prolonged use

Ensure the vest is rinsed of all chlorine or salt, and check that the interior seams are lying flat against the skin to minimize friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your rash vest maintains its protective properties, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Rinsing: Always rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after use in salt or chlorinated water to remove chemical or mineral residue.
  2. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent if necessary, or hand wash for best results.
  3. Drying: Air dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight for long periods, as excessive UV exposure can degrade technical fabrics over time.
  4. Storage: Store flat or hung in a dry area. Avoid folding the garment while it is still damp to prevent odor buildup.
  5. Fit: The vest is intended to fit snugly to ensure it does not drag or shift during water activities.
