Roxy

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Roxy different from other women's surf and snow brands?

  Roxy was founded in 1990 as Quiksilver’s sister brand and focuses exclusively on women’s and girls’ lifestyle gear, blending fashion with sport-driven function. The brand emphasizes female-specific fit and styling—developed alongside pro women’s surf and snow teams—and covers a full lifestyle range from wetsuits and boardshorts to snow jackets, footwear, and accessories.
• What is Warmlink technology and which Roxy pieces use it?

  Warmlink is Roxy’s insulation/thermal technology used in select snow outerwear to elevate warmth without overly restricting movement; it appears in flagship pieces such as the ROXY Snow Premiere Jacket (a 2019 ISPO-recognized model). You’ll typically find Warmlink in insulated jackets and parkas designed for snowboarding and winter activities.
• What is the Hydrosmart “skincare you wear” range?

  Hydrosmart is Roxy’s line of fabrics and treatments marketed as “skincare you wear,” applied to swim and sun-oriented pieces like rashguards and some swimwear to provide added protection and water-ready performance. These items are designed for prolonged time in sun and saltwater environments, pairing quick-dry and protective fabric properties with surf-focused construction.
• How does Roxy approach fit and sizing across its women's and girls' lines?

  Roxy tailors cuts for women and girls with an emphasis on mobility and flattering silhouettes—examples include athletic triangle bikinis, hipster and high-leg bottoms, and boardshorts built for flexibility—while offering kids’ lines like Roxy Girl and Teenie Wahine for younger sizes. Because fits vary by category (swim, wetsuits, snow jackets, leggings), review each product’s size chart and fit notes to match activity and layering needs.
