This is a short-sleeve rash vest primarily designed for sun protection and moderate warmth. For cold water activities, a thicker wetsuit or a long-sleeve, thermal rash vest would be more appropriate.

It's recommended to rinse your rash vest with fresh water after every use. A thorough wash with mild soap is advised after several uses or if it becomes particularly dirty or odorous, following the care instructions provided.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. For a looser fit, consider purchasing the next size up or a different style with a relaxed fit. Allow for a break-in period as the fabric may adapt slightly with wear.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. Always rinse immediately after saltwater or chlorine exposure and dry in the shade. Follow the recommended washing instructions.

This can sometimes occur with performance fits. Ensure the garment is rinsed properly to remove any salt or sand residue. If irritation persists, try wearing a thin base layer underneath or consider a style with flatlock seams.
