The O’Neill Basic Skins Long Sleeve Rash Vest offers dependable, full upper-body sun protection at a great price. With U.P.F. 50+ coverage, it’s built to shield your arms, shoulders and torso from harmful UV rays during long days in the water or under the sun.
Constructed from lightweight 4-way stretch fabric, it moves naturally with your body whether you’re surfing, swimming, paddleboarding or sailing. The slim performance fit makes it ideal for layering under a wetsuit to prevent rubbing, while still being comfortable enough to wear on its own in warm conditions.
Flatlock stitched seams enhance durability and comfort, reducing the chance of chafing. Unlike cotton tops, this rash vest won’t sag, stretch out or stay heavy when wet — it dries quickly and maintains its shape session after session.
If you want straightforward, reliable UV and rash protection from a trusted name in watersports, the Basic Skins Long Sleeve delivers.

- Full arm coverage for maximum sun protection.

Expert Advice
If you’re spending long hours in the sun, especially abroad or during UK summer peaks, the long sleeve version is the smarter choice. It offers extra protection without feeling heavy or restrictive.
