Troubleshooting

  • Eco-friendly construction using recycled materials
  • Secure performance-fit that stays in place
  • Highly visible designs for safety in the lineup

Cons

  • Snug fit may feel too tight for some users

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your rash vest, rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh water immediately after each use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Avoid leaving the vest in direct sunlight for extended periods after it is dry, as this can degrade the fabric and UV protection properties over time. When washing, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent and hang to dry in the shade. Do not iron, bleach, or tumble dry the garment, as these actions can compromise the elasticity and material integrity of the polyester blend.
