FAQs About Rash Guards

1.  What Is a Rash Guard?

A rash guard is an article of clothing that used to only be worn by surfers to protect them from the sun, sand, and ocean. Today, rash guards are athletic shirts that provide sun protection and are worn by anyone who enjoys being outside. 


Rash guards are typically made out of the following fabrics, polyester, nylon, lycra, and spandex.

2.  Do Rash Guards Provide Sun Protection?

Rash guards with a UPF rating do provide sun protection. Look for a rash guard with a UPF 50+ rating, like all the rash guards we offer here at UV Skinz, for best-in-class sun protection.

3. Do Rash Guards Keep You Warm?

As a rash guard is an extra layer of clothing, it can provide a little bit of warmth, but it’s not a wetsuit so it’s not insulated. 

4.  What’s the Difference Between a Rash Guard and a Swim Shirt?

Rash guards are typically tighter fitting with more of an athletic feel as they’re meant to keep you safe from the sun and also irritants like sand on a surfboard. Swim shirts come in a variety of fits and are usually less form fitting and meant to be worn whenever.

5. Should Rash Guards be Tight?

Rash guards should fit comfortably, so if you like a tight fit, then go for it. 

6. What Should You Wear Under a Rash Guard?

We recommend wearing a women’s swim bra under a rash guard if you’re a woman. Nothing is typically worn under a men's rash guard or a boy's rash guard.
