Product Information
Full details
This Roxy Rash Vest is designed for women seeking comfortable and protective swimwear for active water sports. Its key benefit is excellent UPF 50+ sun protection combined with a loose, relaxed fit for ease of movement. A potential consideration is that it is a short-sleeve design, which may offer less coverage than long-sleeve options. Key features include recycled stretch fabric, a loose fit, and integrated UV protection.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this rash vest?
The primary purpose is to provide UPF 50+ sun protection and a comfortable layer for various water sports and beach activities.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB).
How should I wash the rash vest?
Hand wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid bleach, wringing, and soaking. Dry in the shade.
Is this rash vest suitable for diving or impact sports?
This rash vest is designed for sun protection and comfort during activities like surfing, paddleboarding, and swimming. It does not provide impact protection.
What material is the rash vest made from?
It is made from a blend of 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, which is soft, resistant, and uses recycled materials.
Does the loose fit affect its sun protection capabilities?
No, the UPF 50+ rating applies to the fabric itself, regardless of the fit. However, ensure the fit is comfortable and covers the intended areas of skin.
Can I machine wash this rash vest?
It is recommended to hand wash for best results and to preserve the fabric's integrity. Machine washing may be too harsh for the material.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. This model is designed for a loose fit; consider exchanging for a larger size if more room is desired.
Discoloration or fabric damage
Follow the care instructions precisely. Avoid harsh detergents, prolonged soaking, wringing, and direct heat or sunlight, which can degrade the fabric and color.
Stitching coming undone
Inspect the garment for any loose threads. Minor issues can sometimes be carefully trimmed. For significant seam damage, consult the retailer or manufacturer for warranty information.
