Rash Vests

All our Apeks, Aqualung & Mares rash vests offer protection against a number of elements whilst in, on or around the water including damaging ultraviolet radiation, marine life stings and scratches whilst swimming or abrasion and irritation protection when worn beneath a wetsuit. Some rash vests and rash guards have a built-in layer of neoprene that provides an extra layer of thermal protection beneath a wetsuit, or even by itself.

There are also thicker rashies that are a combination of technical materials that are equivalent to 0.5-2.5mm neoprene, making these rash vests a great alternative to neoprene products. Rash vests are the perfect addition to any snorkellers kit bag. These versatile rash vest garments provide up to SPF80 protection from harmful UV rays, help to provide protection from wind chill and provide protection from stinging organisms that may be floating in the water such as jellyfish and their tentacles. Rash guards are available in a range of styles to suit varying requirements and temperatures and made from different materials.
