Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Kite Stripy Rash Vest in top condition, always rinse it with fresh water immediately after use in salt or chlorinated water. Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent and allow it to air dry in the shade to prevent fading and fiber degradation. Avoid using bleach, tumble dryers, or ironing, as these can compromise the UV-protective properties of the synthetic fabric. Store the vest flat or folded in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
