Product Description

The O’Neill Basic Skins Long Sleeve Sun Rash Tee is designed for maximum sun protection with all-day comfort. Unlike tight compression rash vests, this tee-style rash top offers a looser, more relaxed fit, making it ideal for wearing for long periods both in and out of the water.

Constructed from a lightweight polyester and spandex blend, it’s made to get wet, dry quickly and keep its shape — a huge advantage over cotton T-shirts, which absorb water, stretch out and become heavy. The long sleeve design provides extra coverage across the arms and shoulders, offering excellent protection from prolonged sun exposure.

With UPF 50+ protection, strategic seam placement and overlock stitched seams to minimise rubbing, the Basic Skins Long Sleeve Sun Tee is perfect for paddleboarding, sailing, swimming, surfing in warm conditions or spending full days on the beach.

Ideal for SUP, sailing, fishing, beach days or warm-water surf sessions where sun protection matters more than compression.
