FAQs

What is UPF 50+?

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

Is this vest suitable for cold water?

This rash vest is primarily designed for sun protection and comfort in warm to moderate water temperatures. It offers minimal insulation for cold water.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. Rash vests are typically designed for a snug, performance fit.

Can I wear this under a wetsuit?

Yes, many users wear rash vests under wetsuits to prevent chafing and add a slight thermal layer.

What is the return policy if the size is incorrect?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for exchanges or returns due to sizing issues.

How durable are the prints?

The heat transfer prints are designed for durability. Following the care instructions will help maintain their appearance.

Can this vest be used for swimming laps?

Yes, the flexible material and snug fit make it suitable for swimming laps, providing UV protection and reducing drag.

Troubleshooting

Rash vest feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the product's sizing chart. If still too tight, consider if a larger size is needed or if the fit preference is for a looser garment.

Prints fading quickly

Rinse immediately after use, avoid harsh detergents, and dry in the shade. Direct, prolonged sunlight and heat can accelerate fading.

Boardshort loop feels loose

Ensure your boardshorts have a suitable loop for attachment. The loop on the vest is designed for standard boardshort strings; ensure it is properly secured.
