What is a "rash guard"?
A rash guard is a type of close-fitting shirt made from stretchy, quick-drying fabric. It is often worn during water sports like surfing, swimming, or snorkeling to protect the skin from rashes caused by friction with surfboards or wetsuits. Rash guards also provide protection from the sun's harmful rays and can help keep the body warm in colder water. They are usually lightweight, breathable, and may have long or short sleeves. Rash guards are commonly worn by both men and women, offering comfort and protection while enjoying water activities.
