What exactly does a UPF 50+ rating mean in terms of protection from the sun?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for taking the time to review the Mares Kid Short Sleeves Rashguard! UPF 50+ is a rating that measures how much protection a fabric offers against ultraviolet radiation from the sun. A UPF 50+ rating means that the fabric allows only 1/50th of the sun’s UV radiation to pass through, providing excellent protection from the sun’s harmful rays. This is especially important for kids, as their skin is more sensitive to the sun. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the product!

My 4-year-old experienced some discomfort due to the knee support, and the fit runs a bit small.
Tommy Leong –
Does the product guarantee that it is chlorine resistant? What level of chlorine resistance can one expect?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Tommy! At your request, we would like to clarify that our Mares Kid Short Sleeves Rashguard does have a level of chlorine resistance, thanks to its UPF 50+ rating. While it is no guarantee against heavy chlorine exposure, it has been treated to minimize the effects of chlorine wear and tear. As a general guideline, you can expect our rash guards to withstand moderate chlorine exposure during normal water sports activities. However, prolonged or intense exposure to high concentrations may impact the product’s performance.
