Troubleshooting

Fading of color

Rinse immediately after each use in cool, fresh water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not being worn. Follow washing instructions carefully, washing on a gentle cycle with mild detergent.

Loss of stretch or shape

Ensure the garment is not overstretched during wear. Avoid high-temperature washing or drying, and do not iron. Proper storage, folded rather than hung, can also help maintain shape.

Sun protection effectiveness reduced

While the UPF 50+ rating is inherent to the fabric, ensure the garment is not worn thin or damaged, as this can compromise protection. Always ensure full coverage of the skin intended to be protected.
