Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. If it's a new vest, it might need a few wears to stretch slightly. For immediate comfort, consider a size up if the fit is significantly restrictive.
Material losing elasticity
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every use to remove salt and chlorine. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat or sunlight when drying, and do not tumble dry, as these can degrade elasticity.
Seams coming undone
Inspect seams regularly. If minor fraying occurs, avoid further use until repaired. Contact Ripcurl customer service if the wear is due to a manufacturing defect.
