The material might be too dense for colder climates, do you use the Aropec Marvel entirely made of Lycra for all water activities?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review, River! We’re glad you’re enjoying the Aropec Marvel Lycra Long Sleeve Rashguard. Yes, our rashguard is made entirely of Lycra, a high-quality material that provides excellent comfort and flexibility during water activities. However, as you mentioned, Lycra might not be the best choice for colder climates. We recommend layering it under a wetsuit or other insulating garment for optimal performance in cooler temperatures.

Why did Aropec decide not to include any extra features like adjustable cuffs or pockets? It would be nice to have a place to store my keys.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your feedback about our Aropec Marvel Lycra Long Sleeve Rashguard, Cassidy. We appreciate your suggestion to include adjustable cuffs or pockets in our design. Unfortunately, due to the slim-fit design of the rashguard, we didn’t think it would be feasible to include pockets. However, we can definitely consider incorporating adjustable cuffs in future designs. If you have any other suggestions or product ideas, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us! We value our customers’ opinions and look forward to hearing from you.

I still loved the overall design. However, the armholes feel a bit loose on this Aropec Marvel, maybe the next size down would be better.

I found the Aropec Marvel Lycra Long Sleeve Rashguard to be incredibly comfortable during my long swims. How often do you wash it to keep it looking great?

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Aropec Marvel Lycra Long Sleeve Rashguard, Jordan! We’re glad to hear it’s been comfortable for your swims. As a general guideline, we recommend washing the rashguard after 3-5 wears to maintain its appearance. For heavily used items, washing it after every 2-3 swims can help keep it looking great. However, this may vary depending on personal sweat levels and swimming conditions. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
