Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the vest, proper care is essential. Because the garment uses specialized materials for sun protection, it must be hand-washed in cold water after every use, especially after exposure to salt water or chlorine. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can degrade the nylon fibers and the UPF treatment. Always air dry the vest in the shade, as prolonged direct sunlight can cause fabric fading over time. The vest is available in various sizing options ranging from infant to child, so check the size chart to ensure a snug but comfortable fit for your child's age group.
