FAQs
What is SWR-Shield technology?

Yes, the fabric provides protection against UV rays, and the mock neckline adds extra coverage. However, it's always recommended to use sunscreen for complete protection.
Can I machine wash this rash guard?

How should I dry the rash guard?

What does 'snug fit' mean for this product?

Is the recycled fabric as durable as traditional materials?

Troubleshooting
Rash guard feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If it's still too tight, consider if a looser-fitting garment might be more suitable for your preference. This model is designed for a snug fit.
Fabric losing elasticity
This can occur with prolonged exposure to chlorine or improper drying. Always rinse after use, hand wash with mild soap, and dry flat away from direct heat or sun. Avoid machine washing and drying.
Chafing despite wearing the rash guard
Ensure the rash guard is clean and fits snugly. Sometimes, sand or debris trapped in the fabric can cause irritation. Rinse thoroughly after use and check for any rough seams.
