Rip Curl Waves Upf Perf S/S

Description

Rip Curl Waves UPF Perf S/S is a short-sleeved rash vest with UPF 50+ sun protection to keep the sun's UV rays off your skin during long days in the water. Made for surfers, swimmers, and all other watersports enthusiasts, it comes in black and red and in sizes S to XL. Its lightweight, stretchy construction moves with your body, whether you're paddling out, riding waves, or just relaxing at the beach.

Made from lightweight 180 g stretch polyester with 92% polyester and 8% elastane, the material offers a snug performance fit that feels like a second skin without restricting movement. It dries quickly, keeping you comfortable both on and off the board. Flatlock seams reduce chafing and skin irritation, while the heat-transfer logo on the front and back creates a clean, graphic look.

  • UPF 50+ sun protection: The fabric effectively blocks UV rays and protects your skin during long sessions in the sun.
  • Stretch polyester 180 g: Lightweight, stretchy fabric that gives you plenty of freedom of movement in the water.
  • Performance fit: A snug, second-skin fit that won’t drag or ride up when you move.
  • Flatlock seams: Flat seams reduce chafing against the skin and increase comfort throughout your session.
  • Front and back print: Graphic print and a heat-transferred logo create a great look.
  • Elastic boardshorts loop: Attach the vest to your boardshorts so it stays securely in place in the water.
  • Short-sleeved design: Full freedom of movement for your shoulders and arms – perfect for surfing, swimming, and SUP.

  • Care & Maintenance

    Caring for your rash guard

    • Washing: Rinse the rash guard in cold water right after use, especially after salt water or chlorinated pool water. Then machine-wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
    • Detergents: Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and harsh detergents, as they can break down the elastane and reduce the fabric’s UV protection.
    • Drying: Let the rash guard air-dry in the shade. Avoid tumble-drying, ironing, and direct heat from radiators, as heat can damage the material.
    • Storage: Make sure the rash guard is completely dry before putting it away, and store it without folding it tightly. Don’t leave it damp and crumpled in a bag.

    With proper care, the fabric retains its elasticity, fit, and sun protection season after season.
