To maximize the lifespan of your Ripcurl Rash Vest, proper maintenance is essential. Always rinse the vest thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Avoid wringing the fabric; instead, lay it flat or hang it in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to dry. Never use harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the UV-blocking properties of the material. For the best fit, ensure you select your size based on standard UK dress sizing, keeping in mind the garment is intended to fit close to the body for performance reasons.
