WHY DO I NEED TO WEAR A RASH GUARD?

WHY DO I NEED TO WEAR A RASH GUARD?

Vicente Gonzales III

DO RASH GUARDS MAKE YOU HOT?

The purpose of a rash guard is not to keep you warm or retain body heat, it is not a wetsuit. Rash guards are designed to protect you from the elements and give you a high level of sun protection. Depending on the material used, rash guards are breathable and are meant to be worn in the water. All our rash guards are made from high quality, sustainable Italian Lycra, which is the same fabric our swimwear is made of. The fabric we use is designed for swimming, it is versatile, hyper-resistant, thin, elegant, stretch, soft and breathable. It offers a unique mix of muscular compression and comfort. It is also twice as resistant to chlorine and suntan creams and oils than other fabrics.
