Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Roxy Rash Vest, rinse the garment thoroughly with fresh, cold water immediately after each use to remove chlorine, salt, or sand. Always hand wash in cold water using a mild detergent and avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the UPF coating. Hang the vest to dry in the shade; avoid direct, prolonged sunlight while drying, as high heat can damage the material and the chest print. This vest is compatible with standard boardshorts and bikini bottoms.
