The O’Neill Hyperfreak Short Sleeve Rash Vest delivers premium UV protection in a true performance fit. Unlike the tee-style version, this is the tighter, form-fitting design that sits close to the body for maximum efficiency in the water.
Constructed from O’Neill’s exclusive TechnoButter Skin fabric, it feels incredibly soft, lightweight and stretchy while offering serious durability. The 4-way stretch construction moves naturally with you during paddling and high-output sessions, while HyperDry technology ensures rapid drying times between waves.
The snug fit reduces drag in the water and makes it ideal for wearing under a wetsuit to prevent chafing. Flatlock stitched seams keep the vest breathable and comfortable, and the boardshort connector cinch cord prevents ride-up in heavier surf.
This is high-performance sun protection designed for surfers and water users who want a secure, second-skin feel without compromising on comfort.
Expert Advice
If you prefer a close, athletic fit that won’t move around in the water, this is the one. The performance cut keeps everything streamlined, making it perfect for surfing or wearing under a wetsuit.
The TechnoButter Skin fabric genuinely stands out — it’s far softer and stretchier than standard rash vests, making long sessions noticeably more comfortable.
