FAQs
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 means that the fabric blocks approximately 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), offering excellent sun protection.
Is this rash vest suitable for swimming in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, it is suitable for swimming pools. However, it is recommended to rinse the vest with fresh water after swimming in chlorinated water to prolong its life and prevent material degradation.
Can I wear this as a base layer for diving?
While it can be worn as a thin base layer, it offers minimal thermal insulation. It is primarily designed for sun protection and can help reduce chafing from a wetsuit.
What is the material made of?
The vest is made from a blend of 86% recycled polyester and 14% elastane jersey fabric.
How do I know if I chose the right size?
Refer to the Roxy sizing chart for women's dress sizes. The vest should fit snugly but comfortably, allowing for movement without excessive looseness.
Can this rash vest be used for activities other than surfing?
Absolutely. It is suitable for any outdoor water or beach activity where sun protection is needed, including paddleboarding, kayaking, beach volleyball, or simply relaxing by the water.
Does the 'Pink' color fade easily?
While the material is durable, like most brightly colored fabrics exposed to sun and water, prolonged exposure without proper care (rinsing and drying in shade) may lead to some fading over time.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the product's sizing chart. Fabric has stretch, but a size too small will be uncomfortable.
Discoloration after use.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water immediately after each use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight while drying.
Seams feel uncomfortable.
Ensure the vest is worn correctly and not inside out. The flatlock seams are designed for comfort; if irritation persists, consider a different style or size.
