Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too loose
The vest is designed for a loose fit. If a tighter fit is desired, consider layering over it or choosing a different style.
Discomfort or chafing
Ensure the fit is appropriate. For extended wear, ensure seams lay flat against the skin. Sometimes, wearing a base layer can help.
Reduced UV protection effectiveness
Ensure the fabric is not overly stretched or worn, as this can reduce its UPF rating. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric integrity.
Color fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. Always wash with cold water and mild detergent, and dry in the shade.
