Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight or too loose
While designed for a performance fit, individual body shapes vary. Consider trying on different sizes if available. Ensure the size chart is consulted before purchase.
Fabric not drying quickly
Ensure the garment is not excessively saturated and is hung in a well-ventilated area. High humidity can affect drying times. Check care label for proper washing; fabric softeners can sometimes impede quick-dry properties.
Sun protection seems less effective over time
UV protection can degrade with extensive use and washing. Follow care instructions meticulously to maximize the lifespan of the UV-Surf technology. Consider replacing after prolonged heavy use.
