Full details
This Roxy Whole Hearted UPF 50 Surf Rash Vest is designed for women seeking reliable sun protection during water activities. Its key benefit is offering UPF 50 sun protection with a comfortable, stretchy fit. A minor consideration is that while it provides excellent sun protection, it is not a flotation device. The vest is made from a soft, resistant stretch recycled polyester elastane jersey fabric and features a large collar, a screen logo on the left sleeve and front.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of this rash vest?
The primary benefit is UPF 50 sun protection, which significantly reduces exposure to harmful UV rays during water and outdoor activities.
What material is the rash vest made from?
It is made from a soft, resistant stretch recycled polyester elastane jersey fabric, consisting of 86% Polyester and 14% Elastane.
Is this rash vest suitable for cold water?
This rash vest is designed primarily for sun protection and does not provide significant insulation for cold water. It may offer a minimal layer of warmth, but is not a substitute for a wetsuit.
How do I wash and care for the rash vest?
Rinse with cold, fresh water after use, hand wash with mild soap, and dry flat in the shade. Avoid detergents, fabric softeners, wringing, ironing, and tumble drying.
Does the rash vest offer full body protection?
The rash vest covers the torso, arms, and neck (due to the large collar), providing substantial protection. However, exposed areas like hands, legs, and face will still require separate sun protection.
Can I wear this for activities other than surfing?
Yes, this rash vest is versatile and can be worn for any water or outdoor activity where sun protection is needed, such as swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, or even just relaxing on the beach.
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF 50 rating means that only 1/50th of the ultraviolet radiation is able to reach your skin, offering excellent protection.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If preferred, consider ordering one size up for a looser fit, especially if you anticipate significant swelling during activity.
Fading of color after washing.
Always rinse immediately after use and dry out of direct sunlight. Use mild soap and hand wash only, avoiding harsh chemicals.
Fabric losing its stretchiness.
Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Gentle handling during washing and drying will help preserve the elasticity.
