This is probably the most important consideration
Looking to buy boys rashies this summer at a boys rashies sale? If you are like the rest of us and are unsure what you should look for, here are 5 really important things to consider before purchasing.UPF sun protection rating
This is probably the most important consideration as this is one of the main reasons why you would consider purchasing a boys rashie. What you want to look for is a high UPF rating which means the level of protection from the sun that he will get. UPF means the fabric rating which is the same as SPF is to sunscreen. So, if you look for a UPF level of 50+, the fabric will protect against up to 98% of all UVA and UVB rays.Design for ultimate sun protectionThis is another important consideration as you want a sun protection top that will give a good amount of coverage especially if they are running around in and out of the waves. Best is to look for a top which has got full length sleeves as this will help protect the entire arm. You also want something with a high neckline to give good coverage to the chest, shoulders and back area.
For any exposed skin, use a high SPF sunscreen to cover those areas to ensure all exposed skin has got a good level of protection.FabricWhen choosing a boys rashie, give some consideration to the fabric. What you should look for is a nylon or polyester mix with either lycra or spandex. This will give it a 4 way stretch component which is important for comfort and fit. The nylon or polyester will ensure that when it is wet, not too much water will be absorbed. This means that the top will keep its shape when it is wet.Chlorine resistantMost boys rashies Australia have some level of chlorine resistance which is important if they are to be used in the pool. These tops are perfect for pool use and it is recommended to rinse with fresh water straight after and left to dry flat somewhere in the shade.5. Ease of putting on or getting offThis can be important especially if you have little ones who will not stand still for long. Most kids when they get to the beach are rearing to go and even putting sunscreen on them is a major feat! Look for tops which are easy to put on or take off. For example, a top zip is perfect for slipping easily on or off, whilst when it is on the zip can be fastened all the way up for ultimate protection of the neck and chest.At Cat & I, our focus is sun protection and in particular keeping the little ones safe when they are enjoying life and just being kids:
