ION Wetshirt SS men

Washing

Rinse the rash guard in cold, clean water after use, especially after wearing it in saltwater or chlorinated water. Then machine-wash it at a maximum of 30°C on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent, without fabric softener, bleach or chlorine. It’s best to zip up any zippers and turn the top inside out before washing.

Drying

Let the rash guard air-dry flat or on a hanger in the shade. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight while drying, as UV rays and heat can break down the fabric over time. Avoid tumble dryers and heat sources such as radiators, as heat can damage the synthetic fibres. The fabric dries quickly on its own, so a tumble dryer isn’t necessary at all.

Storage

Make sure the rash guard is completely dry before putting it away. Then store it somewhere cool, dry and dark, preferably rolled or loosely folded. Avoid leaving it folded and damp in a bag or trunk for a long time, as this can cause unpleasant odors and damage the material. Keep it away from sharp objects and Velcro, which can snag the fabric.

What is Slip_Loop, and what is it used for?

Can I wear the wetshirt as a regular T-shirt?

What size should I choose?
