Where to buy

The Roxy Whole Hearted long sleeve rash guard is a simple, comfortable rash guard with a snug fit. The rash guard comes in a variety of solid colors to choose from.

This rash guard provides you with 50 UPF protection for those long days on the water. The fit is meant to be snug, making it feel a bit warmer, so this may not be the best rash guard for hot climates. The material is flexible, allowing you to paddle comfortably. The stitching and seams are also unnoticeable, making them unlikely to lead to chafing.

The material seems durable, but the stitching may not be. I found a small hole in the stitching on the right forearm of my rash guard after only a single use. This kind of issue is not reported often with the Whole Hearted rash guard, and was easily remedied with a return.

This, like so many other women’s rash guards, lacks a boardshort connector, leading to the rash guard riding up slightly when paddling. And like most other rash guards runs small so consider sizing up.

This rash guard is in the middle to upper price range for rash guards and is a classic favorite for a comfortable, flexible fit.
