Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment does not require any complex setup; it functions as a base layer or standalone top for water activities. To maintain the life of your vest and preserve the effectiveness of the UPF protection, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the vest in fresh, cold water after every use in chlorine or saltwater to remove chemical or salt deposits.
- Hand Wash Only: Use a mild detergent designed for sportswear to avoid stripping the fabric properties.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the synthetic fibers.
- Air Dry: Always drip-dry the vest in the shade. Direct, intense sunlight can accelerate the breakdown of the fabric's protective coatings over time.
