Rash Guards

Rash guards are a sort of athletic shirt designed to protect the skin during water-based activities. They are often constructed of elastic, quick-drying materials like spandex or nylon and have a snug fit. Originally, rash guards were used in surfing to avoid skin irritation and rashes caused by rubbing against a surfboard or sand. However, they have gained popularity in other water sports such as swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling, as well as other outdoor activities such as hiking and running. Rash guards, like sunscreen, are intended to protect against the sun's harmful UV rays. They also act as a barrier against potential irritants in the water, such as jellyfish or coral. Rash guards are available in a variety of forms and designs, such as long or short sleeves, zippered or pull-on styles, and a variety of colours and patterns. They are available in sizes for men, women, and children and can be worn on their own or under a wetsuit for increased protection and insulation.
