ION Rashguard Lizz LS women

Washing

Rinse the rash guard in cold, clean water after each use in salt water or chlorinated water. Machine wash at a maximum of 30 degrees on a gentle cycle with regular detergent - avoid fabric softener, bleach and stain removers, as they can break down the elastic material and UV protection. Ideally, wash it in a laundry bag to protect the material.

Drying

Let the rash guard air-dry, hanging or lying in the shade. Do not tumble dry, and avoid direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators, as they can damage the elastane and cause the fabric to lose its fit. Gently stretch it back into shape while it is wet.

Storage

Make sure the rash guard is completely dry before putting it away. Store it rolled or folded in a cool, dry place - preferably not folded up in a wet bag or luggage, as moisture and heat can cause bad odors and wear on the material.

General advice

Avoid contact with rough surfaces, sunscreen with a high oil content directly on the fabric, and sharp objects that can snag the stretchy fabric. With proper care, your rash guard will retain its shape, stretch and protection for many sessions.

What is the purpose of the ION Rashguard Lizz LS women?

The long-sleeved rashguard protects you from the sun’s UV rays during long sessions on the water and keeps your top in place while you ride. It’s made for women who surf, kite, or paddle for hours in the sun.

How much UV protection does it offer?

The rashguard has a UPF 50+ rating. The UPF rating may depend on the fabric color - darker colors typically offer the highest rating.

What is Slip_Loop?

Slip_Loop is an integrated loop that connects the top to your bottoms, such as boardshorts or neoprene pants. It keeps your whole outfit in place, even when you move around a lot on the water.

What is the material made of?

The main fabric consists of 84% recycled polyester and 16% elastane. This creates a stretchy material with a close fit that follows your body’s movements.

Which size should I choose?

The rashguard is available in sizes 34/XS, 36/S, 38/M, 40/L, and 42/XL. It has a slim, stretchy fit - if you’re between sizes, consider how close-fitting you prefer it to be.

How should I care for the rashguard?

Rinse it in cold water after use in salt water or chlorine, and let it air-dry in the shade. Wash it at max. 30 degrees without fabric softener and don’t tumble-dry it to preserve its stretch and UV protection.

Is the rashguard a sustainable choice?

Yes, it’s made from recycled materials, making it a more conscious alternative to classic rashguards. ION also continuously works on more sustainable solutions in its watersports products.

Can I wear the rashguard on its own or under a wetsuit?

You can absolutely wear it on its own for sun protection in warm weather, but it also works well as a thin layer under a neoprene top. The Slip_Loop loop makes it especially practical when combining a top and bottoms.
