Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Kids’ Hoku II Swim Top is designed for young children (ages 3-4) enjoying water activities. Its primary benefit is providing lightweight, quick-drying protection with UPF 50+ sun safety. A potential consideration is that while it offers sun protection, it's a supplement to other sun safety measures. This top features a comfortable polyester and elastane blend, a vibrant floral pattern in pink, and long sleeves for extended coverage.

FAQs

What is UPF 50+ protection?

UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering excellent protection for the skin.

How do I know if this size is right for my child?

This top is sized for children aged 3-4 years. It's recommended to check your child's measurements against a standard size chart if available, or consider if your child typically wears this age range clothing.

Can this swim top be used in chlorinated pools?

Yes, it can be used in chlorinated pools, but it's important to rinse it thoroughly with cold, fresh water immediately after swimming to remove chlorine residue and prolong the fabric's life.

Is this swim top suitable for toddlers?

Yes, the size 3-4 years makes it suitable for toddlers within that age and size bracket.

Does the UPF protection wash out?

The UPF protection is inherent to the fabric's weave and treatment. While it can degrade slightly over many years of heavy use, it does not typically wash out with normal laundering.

Are matching swim hats readily available?

Yes, matching swim hats with the same floral print and color family are available, with product codes RKC270 and RKC254.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as this can affect the fabric's performance and feel. Always rinse thoroughly after swimming.

Sun protection seems reduced

Check that the fabric is not stretched thin or worn out. UPF protection can degrade over time with heavy use. Ensure no gaps between the top and other swimwear, as sunlight can penetrate these areas.

Color fading

Avoid direct prolonged exposure to strong sunlight when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Wash with similar colors and avoid harsh detergents.
