Can anyone advise on how to care for the flat seams? It feels a bit delicate.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review. To care for the flat seams, we recommend washing the rashguard in cold water only. Gently hang it to dry, or lay it flat to prevent stretching or distortion. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the fabric. For tougher stains, you can spot-clean with a mild detergent, but be sure to test it on an inconspicuous area first. This should help keep your rashguard in great condition for all your water sports adventures!
