Troubleshooting
Fabric feels loose after repeated use
Ensure you are rinsing the garment with cold water to remove salt/chlorine, as these elements can break down the elasticity over time.
Skin irritation during use
Check that the vest is worn directly against the skin without sand trapped inside; ensure the seams are positioned correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is designed for a snug fit to ensure it does not drag in the water or bunch up under a wetsuit. To keep the vest in top condition, rinse it with fresh cold water after every use in salt or chlorinated water to remove chemical or mineral buildup. When washing, use a standard cycle at 40 degrees. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the elasticity and UV-protective properties of the polyester fibers. Hang dry in the shade to prevent the material from losing its shape or fading due to direct prolonged sunlight exposure.
