Product Information
Full details
This Roxy Whole Hearted rash vest is designed for women seeking reliable sun protection and comfort during water activities. Its key benefit is the UPF 50 sun protection, shielding skin from harmful UV rays. A potential consideration is that it's made from a polyester-elastane blend, which might feel different than natural fibers for some users. Key features include its soft, resistant stretch fabric, a large collar for added coverage, and a discreet screen logo.

FAQs
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 means the fabric blocks approximately 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays (both UVA and UVB), offering excellent protection.
Is this rash vest suitable for swimming laps?
Yes, the stretch fabric and comfortable fit make it suitable for swimming laps, providing UV protection without significant drag.
Can I wear this as a base layer under a wetsuit?
Absolutely. The smooth fabric and stretch fit make it an excellent choice for reducing chafing and adding a thin layer of warmth under a wetsuit.
How do I choose the right size?
Consult the Roxy sizing chart provided by the retailer. Rash vests should fit snugly but comfortably, without restricting movement.
What is the material made of?
The vest is made from 86% Polyester and 14% Elastane, specifically a recycled polyester elastane jersey fabric.
Does the large collar offer full sun protection?
The large collar is designed to provide additional coverage and protection for the neck area, complementing the UPF protection of the main fabric.
Will this vest prevent all sunburn?
UPF 50 offers very high protection, but it's recommended to still use sunscreen on exposed areas like the face, hands, and feet, and to reapply as needed, especially after swimming or sweating.
Troubleshooting
Rash vest feels too tight or too loose.
Refer to the sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for your body. A snug fit is generally recommended for rash vests to be effective.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents. Line drying in the shade helps maintain fabric softness.
Sun protection seems reduced.
Check for any holes, tears, or excessive wear in the fabric. Ensure the garment is covering the intended areas of skin adequately. Note that UPF protection can degrade over time with heavy use and improper care.
