FAQs
What is the primary benefit of this rash vest?
The primary benefit is its 50+ UPF sun protection, which effectively shields your skin from harmful UV rays during outdoor activities.
What material is the rash vest made from?
It is made from a blend of 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, specifically a soft, resistant, recycled stretch fabric.
Is this rash vest suitable for cold water?
This rash vest is primarily designed for sun protection. It offers minimal insulation and is not intended for warmth in cold water. For cold conditions, a wetsuit would be more appropriate.
How should I care for my rash vest to ensure its longevity?
Rinse with cold, fresh water after each use, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, use mild detergent, and hang dry in the shade. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying.
Can I wear this rash vest for activities other than surfing?
Yes, it is suitable for a wide range of water sports and beach activities, including swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, and general sun protection while at the beach or by the pool.
Does the ROXY transfer logo affect the comfort or performance?
The ROXY transfer logo is designed to be a subtle branding element and should not negatively impact the comfort or performance of the rash vest.
What does 'Loose fit' mean for this product?
A 'Loose fit' means the garment is cut with extra room for comfort and ease of movement, rather than being tight or form-fitting.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too loose
While designed for a loose fit, ensure you have selected the correct size according to the Roxy size chart. If it is excessively loose, it might not provide optimal coverage during high-impact water activities.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This can happen if fabric softener was used. Ensure you are only using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. If stiffness persists, try rinsing it again in fresh water.
Fading color
To prevent fading, always rinse the garment immediately after use, wash in cold water, and hang dry in the shade. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
