      Why Wear a Rashie?

      A rash vest, also known as a rashie or rash guard, is designed to protect your skin from sun exposure, chafing, and irritation caused by surfboards, saltwater, and sand. Whether you're surfing or swimming, wearing a rash vest helps reduce discomfort while allowing you to stay in the water longer.

      With built-in UV protection, swim rashies are especially useful for long days at the beach, offering a lightweight alternative to sunscreen on covered areas.

      Rash Guards for Surfing & Swimming

      Our range of rash guards and surf rashies is designed for performance across different water activities. For surfing, a fitted rashie helps prevent board rash and stays secure in waves. For swimming or snorkelling, swimming rashies provide lightweight coverage without restricting movement.

      Quick-drying materials and breathable fabrics ensure comfort both in and out of the water.

      Choosing the Right Rash Vest

      The right rash vest or rash guard comes down to fit and intended use. A snug fit is ideal for surfing, as it reduces drag and prevents the fabric from moving around in the water. For casual swimming or beach wear, a slightly relaxed fit can offer added comfort.

      Long sleeve rashies provide maximum sun protection, while short sleeve options offer more freedom and ventilation in warmer conditions.
