Full details
The Roxy Wholehearted Short Sleeve Rash Vest is an essential piece of swimwear for active children who enjoy spending long days at the beach or in the pool. Designed to provide reliable protection during water activities, this rashguard offers a durable and comfortable fit for swimming, surfing, or playing in the sand. While it excels at providing a protective barrier, users should note that as a short-sleeve model, it does not provide full arm coverage, so additional sun protection on the forearms is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Roxy rash vest, follow these care guidelines:
- Rinse Immediately: Always rinse the vest in fresh, cool water immediately after use in salt or chlorinated water to prevent fabric degradation.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong detergents, as these can break down the fibers.
