ION Rashguard Capture SS girls

Washing: Rinse the rash guard in cold, clean fresh water immediately after each use to keep salt water, chlorine, and sunscreen from sticking to the fabric. Then hand wash it or machine wash it on a gentle cycle in cold or lukewarm water, and avoid fabric softener and bleach.

Drying: Let the rash guard dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Never tumble dry it or iron it - heat can damage the elastane's stretch.

Storage: Store the rash guard completely dry in a cool, ventilated place. Avoid leaving it folded or rolled up while wet, and keep it away from rough surfaces and Velcro, which can snag the fabric.

What size should I choose for my child?

The rashguard comes in six sizes, from 104/4 to 164/14. The first number corresponds to the child’s height in centimeters, and the second indicates their age. Choose based on height, as rashguards need to fit snugly to provide optimal protection.

How much UV protection does the rashguard provide?

The material consists of 84% recycled polyester and 16% elastane, giving it a stretchy, comfortable fit that moves with your child.

Should the rashguard fit snugly?
