Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this garment uses specialized UV-protective fibers, proper care is essential to maintain its rating. Always hand wash the vest in cold water after use in salt or chlorine to prevent fabric degradation. Avoid harsh detergents or bleaching agents, as these can strip the protective finish. Air dry the garment in the shade; avoid direct high-heat sunlight or tumble drying, as excessive heat can damage the nylon weave over time. Store the vest folded in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
