Gul Evotherm Thermal Long Sleeve Flatlock - Black - 9-10

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV radiation, offering excellent sun protection.

The 8oz Evotherm fabric provides a thermal layer, offering some warmth. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a base layer under a thicker wetsuit.

Refer to the sizing chart for UK 9-10 measurements. The vest should fit snugly against the skin without being uncomfortably tight.

Yes, but it is crucial to rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh water immediately after swimming to remove chlorine, which can degrade the fabric over time.

Flatlock seams are durable and lie flat against the skin, preventing irritation and chafing, especially when worn for extended periods or under other garments like wetsuits.

Thumb loops are primarily useful for keeping the sleeves of the rash vest from riding up when worn under a wetsuit. They are not essential if worn on their own.

Store it clean and dry in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it sharply for long periods, and keep it out of direct sunlight.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. While designed for a snug fit, excessive tightness may indicate an incorrect size. Consider trying a size up if comfort is severely impacted.

The thumb loops are optional. If they cause discomfort when not worn under a wetsuit, they can be folded down or tucked in.

Ensure the garment is being rinsed thoroughly after each use and washed according to care instructions to maintain fabric integrity and UV protection.
