What are the benefits of wearing a ScubaPro rash guard?
ScubaPro rash guards provide excellent UV protection, typically rated UPF 50+, shielding your skin from harmful sun exposure. They also help prevent irritation from wetsuits, protect against jellyfish stings, and provide an extra layer of warmth in cooler water. ScubaPro rash guards are made from quick-drying materials, making them ideal for all-day use.
How do I choose the right size for a ScubaPro rash guard?
ScubaPro rash guards are designed to fit snugly against your body for maximum comfort and protection. Refer to the sizing chart to ensure the right fit. Rash guards should fit tightly without being restrictive, and if you’re wearing one under a wetsuit, it should fit smoothly without bunching or causing discomfort.
Are ScubaPro rash guards suitable for all water sports?
Yes, ScubaPro rash guards are versatile and can be used for a wide range of water sports such as diving, snorkeling, surfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. They provide protection from UV rays and skin irritation, making them perfect for any activity where extended exposure to the sun and water is a concern.
How do I properly care for and maintain my ScubaPro rash guard?
After each use, rinse your ScubaPro rash guard with fresh water to remove salt, chlorine, and sand. Let it air dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight, to avoid damaging the fabric. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach when cleaning, and store it flat or folded to maintain its shape.
Can ScubaPro rash guards be worn alone or under a wetsuit?
ScubaPro rash guards can be worn both on their own for sun and skin protection or as a base layer under a wetsuit to prevent chafing and irritation. Whether you’re wearing it alone in warmer water or as part of your layered diving gear, ScubaPro rash guards offer flexibility and comfort.
