What is a Rash Guard?

You've probably heard the word before, but what is it, and what does it do? A rash guard, also known as a swim shirt, provides coverage from sunlight and offers some protection from a "rash" or irritation caused by water/waves.

Rash guard shirts came out of the surf industry, but are now becoming more mainstream. There are varying degree's of sun protection from rash guards, based on the material content and construction. If you are using a rash guard for sun protection be sure to find one that offers sun protection that is UPF30+ or greater. There are some rash guards that offer over 98% protection from the sun, like Solaroo Rash Guards found at www.SunFriendlyProducts.com.
