ION Rashguard SS men

Washing: Rinse the rash guard in cold, fresh water immediately after use - especially after saltwater or chlorinated water, as salt and chlorine break down the fabric over time. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature, preferably in a laundry bag. Use only a small amount of mild detergent without bleach, and avoid fabric softener, which can affect the elasticity of the elastane.

Drying: Hang the rash guard on a hanger or line to dry in the shade. Avoid tumble dryers, radiators, and direct sunlight, as both heat and strong UV exposure can wear down the fabric and print.

Storage: Make sure the rash guard is completely dry before putting it away, then store it folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it rolled up while damp - this can cause unpleasant odors and damage the material. If damage does occur, repairs can often significantly extend its lifespan.
