FAQs
Is this top suitable for swimming?

Does it provide sun protection?
Yes, it is built with high-performance fabric technology specifically to provide UV protection.
What is the fit like?

Can I put this in the dryer?

What should I do if I am between sizes?

Troubleshooting
Fabric feels restrictive during movement
The garment is designed as a slim fit; if you find it uncomfortable, ensure you have selected your correct UK size and consider that the fabric may naturally stretch slightly after the first few uses.
Top loses elasticity over time
Ensure you are rinsing the garment after every exposure to chlorine or salt and avoid high-heat tumble drying, which damages elastic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Animal Patterned Rash Top, follow these care instructions:
- Rinsing: Always rinse the top in fresh, cool water immediately after use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove chemical residues.
- Drying: Air dry the garment in the shade. Direct, harsh sunlight can degrade the UV-blocking properties and fabric elasticity over time.
- Cleaning: If machine washing, use a delicate cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip away the specialized performance features of the fabric.
- Storage: Store flat or hung on a wide-shouldered hanger to maintain the shape of the neckline and fabric tension.
