What Are Rash Guards & Why You Need Them

Ever wonder what those tight-fitting athletic shirts are called? They’re rash guards, and they’re way more useful than you might think. A rash guard is your skin’s bodyguard, protecting you from scrapes, burns, and irritation while keeping you comfortable during any activity.

Originally designed for athletes who needed protection from skin irritation, rash guards have become the go-to choice for gym-goers, martial artists, outdoor enthusiasts, and families who want to stay protected and comfortable while being active.

More Than Just a Shirt

A rash guard isn't just any regular shirt. It's specially designed athletic wear that does three main things well: protects your skin, keeps you comfortable, and moves with your body like a second skin.

The name "rash guard" comes from its original purpose, preventing rashes that players get from sports. But today, people wear them for so much more.

What Makes Them Different?

• Stretchy fabric that moves with you during any activity
• Quick-dry material that doesn't stay wet and heavy
• UV protection that's way better than regular clothes
• Smooth seams that won't rub or irritate your skin

Why Our Rash Guard Collection Stands Out

1. Made for Real People

We design our rash guards for actual athletes and active families, not just for looks. Every detail is tested by people who use them.

2. Quality You Can Feel

No cheap materials that fall apart after a few washes. Our compression shirts and surf shirts are built to last through countless adventures.

3. Something for Everyone

Whether you need MMA gear, gym wear, or family beach protection, our collection has the right fit and style for every body and activity.

Why Our Rash Guards Work

1. Real Sun Protection

UPF 50+ rating means our compression shirts block over 98% of UV rays. Way better than regular t-shirts that only block about 5-10%. Your skin will thank you later.

2. Breathable & Quick-Dry

Made with moisture-wicking fabric that pulls sweat away from your body. These surf shirts dry super fast, so you won't feel gross and sticky during long activities.

3. Moves With You

Four-way stretch material means you can move however you want. Perfect for MMA gear, yoga, swimming, or any activity where you need a full range of motion.

Quality That Lasts

No cheap materials that fall apart after a few washes. Our rash guards use reinforced stitching and premium fabrics that keep their shape and colour even after months of heavy use.

• Flatlock seams prevent chafing
• Chlorine and saltwater resistant
• Anti-microbial treatment fights odours
  

Perfect Fit for Everyone

Whether you want a tight compression fit for performance or a relaxed athletic fit for comfort, our collection has options for men, women, and all sizes.

• Compression and relaxed fit options
• Extended size range (XS to XXL)

Common Questions About Our Rash Guards

Can I wear these rash guards for gym workouts?

Absolutely! Our rash guards work great as gym wear because they wick moisture away from your skin and move with you during exercises. Many people prefer them over regular t-shirts because they don't get heavy and soggy with sweat.

Do these Rashguards protect against the sun?

Yes! Our rash guards are rated UPF 50+, which blocks over 98% of UV rays. That's way better than regular shirts or even some sunscreens. The tight weave of the fabric and special treatments make them super effective at stopping harmful rays.

How should a rash guard fit?

It depends on what you're using it for. For surfing or MMA, you want a snug compression fit that won't bunch up. For casual beach wear or gym use, a slightly looser athletic fit is more comfortable. We offer both options in our collections.

Are these only for water activities?

Not at all! While they started in the surf world, people now wear rash guards for all kinds of activities. They're popular for CrossFit, yoga, running, martial arts, and even just as everyday athletic wear.

How do I care for my rash guard?

Pretty simple, rinse with fresh water after use, wash in cold water with mild detergent, and hang dry. Avoid fabric softener and bleach, as they can break down the special fibres. Don't put them in the dryer on high heat.
