O'Neill Wetsuits Men's Men's Basic Skins Long Sleeve Rash Guard Rash Vest

Perfect for spending time on the beach this summer. Great fit

Very good rash vest. Great sun protection and provides unrestricted movement when in the water. Doesn’t really provide any buffer from cold but definitely better then walking into the water with nothing on. Very comfortable on the paddle board so would recommend to anybody as addition to the wetsuit for the warmer weather. It fits rather snug so size up if prefer more comfy feel

I bought this rash vest to go on holiday with as I planned on doing lots of water sports/snorkeling, but also wanted the protection from the sun and things below the waves.There are cheaper ones out there, but this is very comfortable and you forget you even have it on.It's well made and durable, has a long collar so you can cover most of your neck and a long torso so you can pull it down as far as you need or fold it over itself - whatever you prefer.I am 6ft tall 31" waist and medium fit very well - I am sure you could be a couple of inches taller/shorter/skinner/larger and it'll fit fine.It can be a little tricky to get on/off like all tight fitting clothing but that is a minor inconvenience.

I am aware these used to be worn as a snug fit but I bought my husband one of the largest sizes on offer (XXL I think) and he can barely get it on. Whilst on holiday we saw some very large guys from the US and their rash vest were baggy - they obviously stock much larger sizes in the US than we can obtain in the UK. Other than that, it did a good job in preventing sunburn while snorkelling etc.

The material is lovely, and the fit is tight as expected. The only complaint (and it does bother me quite a bit), is the cut on the front leaves a weird loose part around the pecs. Otherwise it’s a great shirt.

Hoping it would provide an extra layer of warmth for the wetsuit, however, thin material doesn't provide much of any protection against the elements except the sun.
