How to measure

Chest

The measurement we take is from pit to pit. Find a top that fits you well and cross-check its pit to pit measurement against any of our products.

Length

This is a measure from the highest point on the neck seam all the way down to the hem. Find a top that fits you well and cross-check its length against any of our products.

Waist

This is simply the bottom hem from left to right hand side (not the full circumference of the garment, just one side). Find a top that fits you well and cross-check its waist measurement against any of our products.

Sunscreen washes off in water.

Every session. Every stroke. Every gap you can't see.

Water doubles your UV exposure.

Skin can be sensitive, reactive, or simply intolerant of certain formulas. Sweat, friction, and prolonged wear make it worse. For some people, the problem isn't forgetting to apply - it's that applying in the first place is the problem.

Water washes sunscreen off.

Sunscreen washes off in water. Constant reapplication isn't practical when paddling, surfing, or sailing.

Traditional rash vests feel like straitjackets.

Traditional rash vests are thick, tight, restrictive. Fine in water, awkward on land.

Why we built this

Rash vests that actually work.

Rash vests used to be thick, tight, and uncomfortable. This isn't that.

Lightweight, breathable, quick-drying. Works in the water and looks good out of it. Quarter-zip collar. UPF 50+ built into the fabric.

Here's what we built instead.

UPF 50+ that stays on.

Protection built into the fabric. Put it on once, forget about it. No missed spots, no washing off, no burnt shoulders at the end of the session.

Here's what we built instead.

Lightweight and quick-drying.

Breathable fabric that dries fast. Comfortable in and out of the water.

Here's what we built instead.

Works on land too.

Cut like performance kit, not a wetsuit offcut. Four-way stretch moves with you in the water - and a quarter-zip collar and clean silhouette mean you can wear it straight off the beach without looking like you've escaped from a changing room.

PROTECTION IS BUILT IN.

Protection's built in. Our UPF 50+ fabrics block 98% of UV through structure, not chemicals. The weave does the work — so protection doesn't wash out, wear off, or fade over time.

WHAT'S IN IT AND WHY

UPF 50+ Fabric (86% polyester, 14% elastane) - Blocks 98% of UV. Protection is structural, not chemical. Won't wash out.

OTHER USEFUL INFO

Machine wash 30°C | Hang to dry | UPF built into the fabric (won't wash out) | Available S/M/L/XL

FABRIC INFORMATION

86% polyester 14% elastane

Love this rash vest so much I bought another one. Great quality, nice fit and looks good, what more could you ask for.

Jack B - Sailor

I bought this for a sailing holiday in the Mediterranean, and it was the perfect item for it. Comfortable and form fitting without being restrictive, and withstood the abuse hours in small racing dinghies without any signs of wear whatsoever. Even when sopping wet it was still comfortable to wear without feeling cold or claggy.

Richard P - Paddleboarder

I bought this top along with the long sleeve active tee as I am becoming much more aware of the need to protect my skin. With daily sea swims I find this perfect as a post swim top.

Ali B - Daily sea swimmer

UPF 50+ Rash Vest

Here's how we're different.

UPF 50+ Rash Vest	Skin-tight surfing rash guard
Stylish enough for the beach bar Water to restaurant without changing.	Only looks right in the water Skin-tight technical look. Boardshorts only.
Lightweight, relaxed fit "So comfy to wear all day" - real review. Flattering on real bodies.	Heavy, tight, restrictive Peeling it off is a workout. Shows every contour, feels restrictive.
Dries in minutes Out of water, dry before your drink arrives.	Stays wet for hours Cold, clammy, uncomfortable.
UPF 50+ certified Tested, guaranteed, reliable protection.	Assume it protects because it covers Hope is not a sun protection strategy.

AS FEATURED IN

GOOD TO KNOW.

Is this clothing chemically treated to offer UPF protection?

No. All of our clothing offers the UPF50+ protection it does due to the natural properties of the fabrics we use. This means you can wear and wash it over and over again, safe in the knowledge it will continue to keep your skin protected and you comfortable.

When will I get my order?

We try to get every order out the same day up until 4pm during the week. From then, please allow 2-3 business days for your order to arrive.

Are your long-sleeve shirts with UV protection suitable for all outdoor activities including swimming?

Yes, our long sleeve shirts with UV protection are designed for a variety of outdoor activities, from hiking to swimming.

If you’re likely to be sweating or are particularly active, our active tops would suit you best. Our rash vest is ideal when in or by water. If you’re just outside in strong sun and want a more casual look, that’s where our casual tops would be best suited to your needs.

Who will be delivering my order and is there tracking?

We use a tracked service for nearly all of our deliveries. You will get an email from us when your order has been despatched which will include the tracking details.

How do your sizes compare to other brands?

We would say our sizing comes up true. This is a more relaxed fit than our other items and is oversized with a dropped shoulder. That shouldn't change the size you order and we would recommend ordering your usual size. If in any doubt check out the size guide towards the top of the page or give us a shout.

What if I'm not in when it's delivered?

The majority of our products fit through the average letter box. In the event your order doesn't, Royal Mail will leave a card letting you know they tried to deliver and what the next step is (either your order was left in a safe place or it has been returned to your local sorting office where it can either be collected, or a redelivery booked).

Can I return the product if I don't like it?

We’re happy to exchange or refund any clothing you're not 100% happy with. Just make sure it’s unworn and in perfect condition. To start a return, head to Returns and exchange and follow the instructions.

Where do you ship?

We ship to the UK and Channel Islands using a Royal Mail tracked service.

Great protection and looks good
Love this rash vest so much I bought another one.
Great quality, nice fit and looks good, what more could you ask for.
Pockets in back are a great feature, allow you to carry keys, sun cream etc without it getting in the way.

Useful design not seen elsewhere
This is a good piece of kit for activities like paddle boarding where the extra pockets in the style of a cycling jersey are really useful
