Troubleshooting

Rash vest feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide and consider if a larger size is needed for more flexibility. The material does offer stretch, but proper sizing is key.

Vest not drying as quickly as expected

Ensure the vest is thoroughly rinsed after use to remove salt or chlorine, which can affect drying time. Dry flat in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.

Skin irritation or chafing

Confirm the flatlock seams are lying flat against the skin. Ensure the vest fits snugly but is not too tight, which can cause friction. Rinse the garment well after use to remove any residue.
