Full details
This Roxy Happy Waves Short Sleeve Rash Vest is designed for women seeking comfortable and protective swimwear for water activities. Its key benefit is providing excellent UPF 50+ sun protection while allowing freedom of movement due to its loose fit and stretch fabric.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this rash vest?
The primary purpose is to provide UPF 50+ sun protection and comfortable coverage for water activities.
What material is the rash vest made of?
It is made from a soft, resistant, recycled stretch fabric consisting of 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane.
Is this rash vest suitable for competitive swimming?
While comfortable for general water use, its loose fit is designed for casual wear and sun protection rather than the hydrodynamic needs of competitive swimming.
How do I ensure the longevity of the rash vest?
Rinse with fresh water after each use, hand wash gently with mild soap, and dry flat in the shade. Avoid wringing and direct heat.
Does the UPF 50+ protection degrade over time?
The UPF rating is inherent to the fabric but can be compromised by harsh detergents, excessive heat, or damage to the fibers. Proper care helps maintain its protective qualities.
Can I wear this rash vest as a wetsuit layer?
This rash vest is designed for sun protection and is not intended to provide thermal insulation like a wetsuit.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too loose
The design is intentionally a loose fit for comfort and movement. If a tighter fit is desired, consider layering over a tighter base layer or choosing a different style.
Fabric has lost elasticity
Ensure the garment has been rinsed after every use with fresh water and dried flat away from direct heat. Avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine and excessive heat.
Colors appear faded
This can occur with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Always dry the garment in the shade and store it away from direct light when not in use.
