Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size chart and consider if a larger size is needed for a looser fit, as intended.
Fabric pilling or stretching out
Rinse thoroughly after each use. Hand wash only with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, high heat drying, and rough surfaces.
Reduced UV protection over time
Follow all care instructions precisely. Excessive exposure to chlorine or harsh chemicals can degrade UV protective properties. Ensure the garment is not worn excessively thin or damaged.
