Yes, the fabric is specifically engineered to be chlorine resistant, making it ideal for both pool and ocean use.
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's ultraviolet rays, providing excellent protection for the skin.
The current model described is a short-sleeve performance rashguard.
The connector is a small loop located at the bottom hem of the shirt; simply thread the drawstring of your boardshorts through this loop before tying them.
It is not recommended to use a dryer. Heat can damage the elastic fibers and the sun-protective properties of the material. Always air dry.
It features a 'performance fit,' which is designed to be very snug. Many users find it runs small compared to casual t-shirts.
The performance fit is intentional for hydrodynamics; however, if movement is restricted, size up in your next purchase.
Utilize the integrated boardshort connector loop at the hem to secure the shirt to your shorts.
Rinse immediately after use with fresh water. For persistent marks, gently hand wash with a mild, non-bleaching detergent.
To ensure the longevity of your Rip Curl rashguard, it is essential to rinse it with fresh water immediately after every use, whether you are in the ocean or a swimming pool. This removes salt crystals and chlorine residue that can break down fabric fibers over time. When washing, use a mild detergent and wash in cold water. Avoid the use of bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the UPF rating and the elasticity of the polyester. Always air dry the garment in the shade; avoid direct sunlight for extended periods during the drying process, as excessive UV exposure can degrade the fabric. For the best fit, match the size to your body measurements for a 'second-skin' feel, but consider the next size up if you prefer a less restrictive experience.
