Rip Curl Search Upf Perf L/S Hood

Description

Rip Curl Search UPF Performance Hood L/S is a long-sleeved hooded rash vest for surfers and watersports enthusiasts who want protection and freedom of movement in one. The snug performance fit keeps the top in place while paddling, while the hood provides extra coverage for your head and neck when the sun is blazing. A great companion for long sessions in changing conditions.

The rash vest is made from recycled double-knit stretch polyester – 100% polyester – that moves with your body and dries quickly after use. The fabric provides UPF 50+ UV protection to shield your skin, even while you're lying in wait for a set. The hood features a lightweight foam visor, while a combination of a neoprene hem and shock cord at the waist provides a snug, adjustable fit.

  • UPF 50+ UV protection: Tightly woven fabric with a high sun protection factor to shield your skin throughout your session.
  • Performance fit: A snug, streamlined cut with no loose folds that moves with your body as you paddle and pop up.
  • Hood with foam visor: Lightweight hood with a built-in visor to keep the sun out of your eyes.
  • Neoprene and shock cord hem: The waist hem seals snugly and adjusts to keep water and drafts out.
  • Stretch boardshort loop: Attach the top to your boardshorts to keep it in place.
  • Recycled double knit: Stretch polyester with excellent freedom of movement and quick-drying performance.
  • Heat-transfer print: Soft prints on the chest and sleeves that won't rub against your skin.

  • Care & Maintenance

    Washing: Rinse the rash guard in cold water after each use, especially after saltwater or chlorinated water. Hand-wash it or machine-wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and avoid bleach and fabric softener.

    Drying: Let the shirt air-dry in the shade, preferably laid flat or on a hanger. Do not use a tumble dryer, iron, or direct heat sources, as heat can damage the stretch fibers and prints.

    Storage: Make sure the product is completely dry before putting it away. Store it folded or hanging in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight to help the fabric and UV protection last longer.
