Rash guards are most often worn by surfers, who rely on them to minimize the friction between their body and the surfboard and prevent irritation. But a men's rash guard is an essential item for anyone who enjoys time on the water. Whether you're surfing, waterskiing, kayaking, or swimming, a rash guard is a great choice. Worn alone, a men’s rash guard will protect you from sun damage and minor abrasions caused by rough water or debris. Men’s swim shirts also make a great base layer – wear one underneath a wetsuit or paired with shorts and a wetsuit vest to customize your gear to your sport and to the water conditions. Men’s rash guards can be worn on or off the beach and provide all-day protection from damaging UV rays.

Men's Rash Guards

Rash Guard Options

Men's rash guards are available in several styles so you can choose what's best for your activity. Fitted styles are great for active days in the water and can be worn for surfing, windsurfing, waterskiing, or other sports. A fitted men's rash guard layered under a wetsuit will give you comfort and extra protection without added bulk. Looser-fitting styles still provide sun protection and can be worn on those relaxed days when you're in and out of the water. Whether you're on or off the beach, a men's swim shirt is a great alternative to a t-shirt. Unlike a regular cotton tee, a rash guard is quick-drying, odor resistant, and provides UV protection. Men's rash guards are available in sleeveless, short sleeve, and long sleeve options.
