Rash guards and sun shirts are essential gear for surfers, swimmers, paddlers, and anyone spending extended time outdoors. A rash guard, also called a sunshirt, not only minimizes friction during water sports but also provides dependable UV protection for everyday activities in and around the water.

Shopping for Rash Guards

A rash guard or sun shirt helps protect your skin from the sun, sand, and surf. They can be worn on their own, layered under a wetsuit, or paired with boardshorts or swimwear. Sunshirts and rash guards are also a smart choice off the beach, since they’re lightweight, quick-drying, and breathable.

Rash Guard and Sun Shirt Options

Available in men’s, women’s, and kids’ styles, rash guards and sun shirts come in both fitted and loose fits, with a variety of sleeve lengths to suit your needs. Fitted rash guards are ideal for surfing and other active sports, while loose-fit sun shirts provide a relaxed option for casual swimming, boating, or just spending the day outdoors. No matter which style you choose, both rash guards and sunshirts offer versatile comfort and UV protection you can count on.
