FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is this different from a regular rash vest?

Unlike regular rashies that become soggy and cold, our thermal rash vest is made from hydrophobic nylon fleece. It repels water, retains warmth, and dries quickly – keeping you comfortable for longer.

Can I wear it on its own or only under a wetsuit?

Both. It’s perfect as a standalone layer in mild conditions (recommended for 18–24°C water) and as an extra thermal layer under a wetsuit in colder conditions.

Is it suitable for all water sports?

Absolutely. Whether you're surfing, diving, foiling, spearfishing, or just paddling out, this vest moves with your body while offering serious warmth and sun protection.

Will it stretch out or lose shape over time?

The 4-way stretch fabric is built for durability. It holds shape through repeated wear, rinsing, and sun exposure.

Does it offer UV protection?

Yes – 50+ SPF sun protection to guard you on long sessions in the sun.
