Are rash guards good for swimming? Rash guards are perfect for swimming. Alongside the protection from the sun, you will also be more protected from things like coral or jellyfish stings. If you prefer a looser fitting swim shirt, check out our surf shirts.
Why do I need a rash guard? Rash guards offer a lot of benefits. They are a thin layer of insulation, provide sun protection, and they protect your body from your board, quite literally guarding against a rash.
What is UPF? Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) is a rating system that measures the UV protection provided by fabric. A surf shirt with a UPF of 50 only allows 1/50th of the UV radiation falling on the surface of the garment to pass through it. In other words, it blocks 49/50ths or 98% of the UV radiation.
