Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 'Loose Fit' is designed for comfort, but if it feels too tight, consider a size up if available.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and rinsing thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade swimwear material. Air dry in the shade.
Sun protection seems less effective
Check the garment for any damage or thinning of the fabric, especially in high-wear areas. Ensure the fit is not too loose, which could allow UV rays to penetrate.
