The Rip Curl Classic Surf Short Sleeve UV Rash Vest is designed for comfort, sun protection and performance in the water. Built from durable Creora® Highclo™ recycled nylon, it offers excellent stretch, shape retention and resistance to chlorine, making it perfect for both surf and swim sessions.
With UPF 50+ sun protection, it helps shield your skin from harmful UV rays during long days at the beach. The performance fit keeps the vest snug to the body, preventing it from riding up when paddling or swimming, while the short sleeve design allows full freedom of movement through the shoulders.
The lightweight stretch fabric dries quickly and feels comfortable against the skin, making it ideal for surfing, swimming, paddleboarding or simply staying protected while relaxing by the water.
