How do I know if I have the right size?

Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild soap and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the material.
Material seems to have lost some elasticity
This can happen with excessive heat or harsh detergents. Always follow the recommended cold water, hand wash, and flat dry instructions.
Fit is too loose for desired activity
