This is a 'tight fit' design. For a looser fit, consider sizing up or looking at different styles. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurement charts if available.

While designed with flatlock stitching, ensure the vest is properly fitted and not bunching. Make sure any tags are removed if they cause irritation.

Ensure the fabric is not overly stretched or worn thin. Check for any holes or significant pilling, which could compromise UV protection. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric integrity.
