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.
