Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too restrictive for your preference, consider a looser fitting garment.
Sun protection seems inadequate
Verify the garment is worn correctly and covers the intended areas. Remember that UPF protection is most effective when the fabric is dry and taut.
Fabric has lost elasticity
Avoid excessive heat, harsh detergents, and machine drying, as these can degrade the fabric's elasticity over time. Always follow the recommended care instructions.
