FAQs
What is UPF 50 protection?
UPF 50 indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation when worn, offering excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Is this rash vest suitable for cold water?
This rash vest is primarily designed for sun protection and offers minimal thermal insulation. It is best suited for warm water conditions.
How should I care for my rash vest to ensure longevity?
Always rinse immediately after use with cold, fresh water. Hand wash only in cold water and dry in the shade. Avoid bleach, ironing, and tumble drying.
What does 'recycled polyester' mean?
Recycled polyester is made from post-consumer plastic waste, such as PET bottles. It helps reduce the demand for virgin petroleum resources and decreases landfill waste.
Can I wear this under a wetsuit?
Yes, the slim, stretchy fit makes it suitable to wear under a wetsuit for added sun protection without significantly increasing bulk.
The sizing seems a bit off, what should I do?
Many users find Roxy rash vests run small. We recommend checking the size chart carefully and considering ordering one size up from your usual fit for a more comfortable experience.
Will the screen logos fade?
To preserve the logos, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight when drying and refrain from aggressive scrubbing or ironing directly on the printed areas.
Troubleshooting
Rash or irritation after wearing
Ensure the vest is properly rinsed after each use to remove salt and chlorine. Make sure the size is correct and not too tight. Wear it in the water first for a short period to break it in.
Fabric losing elasticity
Avoid machine washing, high heat, and harsh detergents, as these can degrade the elastane. Always follow the hand wash and shade dry instructions.
Stitching coming undone
Inspect seams regularly. If minor, a professional tailor might be able to repair it. Avoid stretching the fabric excessively around stressed seams.
