FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), providing excellent sun protection.

Is this rash vest suitable for swimming pools?

Yes, the vest is chlorine resistant, making it suitable for swimming pools as well as the ocean.

How should I wash this rash vest?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild soap. Rinse with fresh water after each use and line dry in the shade. Do not use bleach or tumble dry.

Can I wear this vest if I have sensitive skin?

Yes, the smooth fabric and snug fit help prevent chafing and rashes from saltwater or board contact, and the UPF protection guards against sunburn, which can be beneficial for sensitive skin.

What is the material composition?

The vest is made from 84% Polyester and 16% Elastane.

Does the snug fit affect comfort?

The snug fit is designed to minimize drag in the water and prevent chafing. While it might feel tight initially, it's intended for optimal performance during water sports. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your body.

Is this product made from recycled materials?

Yes, this vest is part of the Everyday collection and is made from recycled yarn.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight

The vest is designed for a snug fit. If it feels excessively tight, ensure you have the correct size. It may also loosen slightly with repeated wear and washing according to care instructions.

Reduced elasticity after washing

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, particularly avoiding high heat from dryers or irons, which can degrade fabric elasticity.

Sunburn despite wearing the vest

While UPF 50+ offers excellent protection, ensure all exposed skin is covered. Check for gaps around the neck or wrists. Prolonged exposure without adequate protection for uncovered areas can still lead to sunburn.
