The Ripcurl Streamline UPF Long Sleeve Rash Vest is designed for surfers, swimmers, and beachgoers who require reliable sun protection without sacrificing mobility. Its primary benefit is the UPF 50+ rated fabric that blocks harmful UV rays while utilizing moisture-wicking technology to keep the wearer dry and comfortable during intense aquatic activities. The main caveat to keep in mind is the loose-fit design, which may feel slightly less aerodynamic than traditional compression-style rash guards during high-speed performance surfing.

Yes, it is designed with a loose-fit profile, so it should follow your standard t-shirt sizing for a relaxed, comfortable feel.
Absolutely. The UPF 50+ protection is excellent for snorkeling, as it protects your back and arms while you are floating on the surface.
No, this is a thin rash vest designed for sun protection and airflow, not thermal insulation. It is best used in warm to temperate water.
Always air dry in the shade. High heat from a tumble dryer or direct sun can damage the moisture-wicking and UV-blocking technologies.
While darker colors can absorb more heat, the loose-fit design and breathable polyester weave allow for constant airflow to help keep you cool.
Ensure you are wringing out the excess water after leaving the ocean; while it wicks moisture, saturation can occur during prolonged submersion.
Avoid contact with sharp rocks, corral, or rough surfboard wax application areas to maintain the garment's smooth surface texture.
To ensure your Ripcurl Streamline lasts through many seasons, rinse it thoroughly with fresh cold water immediately after each ocean use to remove salt and chlorine residue. Avoid leaving the garment crumpled in a bag while wet to prevent mold or odors. For cleaning, hand wash with a mild soap if necessary and always hang dry in the shade; avoid direct sunlight or tumble dryers, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the synthetic fibers and the UV protection coating.
