Troubleshooting
Fabric feels tight or restrictive
The vest is designed as a slim fit to perform properly in the water. If you prefer more room, consider the fit against your standard dress size or ensure it is pulled flat against the skin to prevent bunching.
Visible salt or chlorine buildup
Rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to soak for 15 minutes to remove trapped chemicals or minerals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Mountain Warehouse Rash Vest, it is recommended to rinse it thoroughly in fresh, cold water immediately after each use in chlorinated or saltwater. Avoid wringing out the fabric; instead, lay it flat or hang it in a shaded, well-ventilated area to air dry. Direct sunlight for extended periods during the drying process can cause premature color fading. This garment is compatible with standard wetsuits and can be paired with matching swimwear for complete protection.
