FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this rash vest?
The primary purpose is to provide thermal insulation as a base layer under a wetsuit and offer UPF 50 sun protection when worn as a surf shirt.
What material is the vest made from?
It is made from 85% Nylon and 15% Elastane, specifically a recycled nylon elastane tricot.
Is this vest warm enough on its own in cold water?
It provides thermal insulation, but for very cold water, it is best worn as a base layer under a wetsuit for maximum warmth.
How should I wash the rash vest?
Hand wash only in cold water with mild soap. Rinse thoroughly after each use and lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight. Do not bleach, use fabric softeners, or iron.
Does the UPF protection wash out over time?
The UPF 50 sun protection is a feature of the fabric itself and is designed to last for the life of the garment when properly cared for. Avoid harsh chemicals that can degrade fabric.
Can this be worn for activities other than surfing?
Yes, it is suitable for any water-based activity where sun protection and a light layer of warmth are beneficial, such as paddleboarding, kayaking, or swimming.
What does 'ERJWR03555' refer to?
ERJWR03555 is the product code (MPN) for this specific Roxy item.
Troubleshooting
Rash develops after wearing
Ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly after each use to remove salt and sand. Check that the size is correct and not too tight. Wash the garment as per care instructions.
Reduced elasticity over time
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use and refrain from using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade the elastane.
Discomfort from the high collar
Try adjusting the collar for a more comfortable fit. If it continues to be an issue, this particular design feature may not suit your preference for watersport apparel.
