Troubleshooting
Rash occurs despite wearing the vest
Ensure the vest fits correctly without being too tight or too loose. Check for any rough seams or tags that might be causing irritation. Rinse the vest thoroughly after each use to remove any salt or chlorine residue that could cause skin sensitivity.
Fabric losing elasticity or shape
Follow care instructions precisely, especially regarding washing and drying. Avoid excessive heat, harsh detergents, and fabric softeners. Always rinse the garment after use in salt or chlorinated water.
