Troubleshooting
Vest feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure the correct size (10 years) has been selected. If the fit is still uncomfortable, check the product's return policy for exchanges. The material is designed for a snug fit, but should not impede movement.
Fabric losing elasticity.
Follow care instructions carefully. Avoid high heat during washing or drying, as this can degrade elasticity. Ensure proper rinsing after chlorine or saltwater exposure.
Sun protection seems reduced after multiple washes.
While designed to be durable, extensive washing or harsh detergents can impact UPF ratings over time. Adhere strictly to the care instructions and consider replacing the vest if significant fading or wear is visible.
