Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide if available. The material has some stretch, but proper sizing is crucial for comfort and performance.
Seams appear to be fraying
This is uncommon due to reinforced seams. If fraying occurs, check if it's due to excessive abrasion on rough surfaces. Follow care instructions meticulously to prolong garment life.
Color fading after a few uses
While designed for durability, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight and salt water can naturally fade colors over time. Ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly after each use and dried in the shade as per care instructions.
