A rash vest (rash guard or rashie) is a tight-fitting, thin shirt made of quick-drying synthetic material that blocks UV rays, designed for use in and near water.

The Circle One womens short sleeve lycra rash vest is ideal for surfing, kayaking, SUP paddleboarding, and open water swimming, and offers full UPF 50+ protection from UV rays and abrasions from sand or hard surfaces.

Taking inspiration from our Kona womens wetsuits in the side pattern, these rash vests the perfect partner for wearing underneath your wetsuit, and also look amazing worn by themselves. The heavy duty lycra is robust and comfortable and it feels like the high quality garment that it is.

Rash Vests are designed with a tight fit, so if you would like a looser fit or have a larger chest measurement, then opt for a larger size than usual.
