Avery Tan –
What would I need to do to prevent the colors from fading over time?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Avery. To prevent colors from fading over time, we recommend washing your Akona Rash Guard in cold water and tumbling dry on low. Avoid using chlorine bleach as it can cause colors to fade. You can also consider drying your rash guard in the shade or inside to minimize exposure to direct sunlight. We hope this helps!

I recently purchased this Akona Rash Guard for my son’s water sports activity, and it’s been a lifesaver! The fabric is super soft, and the long sleeve design provides excellent protection from the harsh sun. I love that it’s lightweight and breathable, making it perfect for hot summer days. The only thing I wish it had was a bit more padding in the shoulders for added support.
