• Rash guard shirts, also commonly known as
  rashies, are those body-hugging lightweight
  sports shirts that come in different brilliant
  colours that you often see being worn by swimmers
  and surfers on the beach. They are made of very
  light durable quick drying materials nylon,
  spandex, neoprene or polyester capable of
  withstanding the impact of wind pressure, body
  contact with equipment or a jelly fish sting and
  can thus prevent skin rashes and irritations
  caused by abrasions.

Protection versus UV Rays

• Rash guard shirts also generally have built-in
  protection features against the suns ultra
  violet radiation to prevent damage to the skin.
  Most rash guards carry UV protection rating of
  UPF 50 which keeps off 98 of the suns harmful
  radiation from reaching the skin.

4
Even for Non-Water Sports

• Owing to their protective features versus damage
  to the skin, rash guard shirts have become
  popular not only in swimming and surfing but also
  in other water sports such as paddle boarding,
  snorkeling, kayaking, sailing, and even non-water
  sports such as baseball, football, golf, tennis,
  and gardening. Naturally, given peoples love for
  the beach and the sun, the outfits have become
  the favorite wear among all ages especially
  because of the excellent protection they get
  against the damaging rays of the sun.

5
Special Stitch Method

• The manufacture of rash guard uses a special
  flatlock stitching that keeps the stitches flat
  to the garment instead of being protruded as with
  most stitches. This method is intended to provide
  maximum strength to the finished shirt against
  intense movement and external pressure.

6
Short or Long Sleeves

• Rash guard shirts come in both short and long
  sleeves, each version having an advantage of its
  own. Some sports enthusiasts prefer the short
  sleeved shirts or even the sleeveless vests for
  the maximum freedom of movement they can have
  with their arms and bodies. Others prefer the
  long sleeves as this style gives them a perfect
  covering for most parts of the body and would
  therefore require less sunscreen applications.

7
Various Styles and Designs

• Rash guard shirts are available in different
  styles, designs, colours, sizes and materials.
  For all their intended functionality, rash guards
  are worn tight-fit. Those who might feel
  uncomfortable with tight-fitting wear can always
  upgrade their natural size to get a freer fit,
  although a loose-fit rash guard may not be
  suitable for the more strenuous of sporting
  activities.

One for Cold Weather

• Also, depending on weather conditions, you may
  choose the rash guard that is meant as added wear
  under a wetsuit in cold climates or by itself in
  hot weather conditions. For chilly cold water
  conditions there is a thermal rash guard made
  from thicker thermal materials such as neoprene
  that can provide extra warmth to the body.

Full Body Rash Guard

• If your sport involves some physical exposure
  against strong wind pressure or against an
  equipment part such as in surfing, canoeing, wake
  boarding, kayaking, water skiing, kite surfing or
  wind surfing, you might prefer to use the full
  body rash guard to protect most parts of your
  body not only against abrasions and bruises but
  also against the suns harmful radiation.

10
Versatile Use

• Whatever your favourite outdoor sport or activity
  is, whether its dry or wet, whether it is for
  competition or for recreation, whatever your age
  or gender, you can be sure there is a rash guard
  that you will find suitable to your tastes, needs
  and involvement. Before you run to the beach and
  jump into the water, be sure you are wearing your
  favourite rash guard shirt. Enjoy the summer!
