FAQs

What is a rash vest?

A rash vest, also known as a rash guard, is a thin, fitted top designed to be worn for all water activities, from kayaking to surfing. The point of a rash vest is to protect from harmful UV rays, as they offer sun protection. They’re a safer alternative to sunscreen when in the water, as sunscreen can easily wash off or become less effective.

Do you wear anything under a rash vest?

No, our mens long sleeve rash vests are designed to be a base layer, meaning you don’t need to wear anything underneath them.

What is the difference between a rash guard and a rash vest?

None! The terms "rash guard" and "rash vest" are essentially interchangeable, referring to the same type of tight-fitting, quick-drying shirt.

Should rash vests be tight or loose?

For the best performance, we recommend a snug, “second-skin” fit allowing for freedom of movement and minimising chafing. Many people choose to wear rash vests underneath their wetsuits, so a tighter fit ensures maximum comfort without bunching.
