How to Choose the Perfect Rash Vest

By Ross Kerloini


If you are an enthusiastic surfer, then you certainly must also have a rash vest. Rash vests are also called rash guards, which are an important part of a surfer's equipment. Rash guards are very important as they are used by surfers to prevent getting rashes from the surfing board. As you may know, without any protective equipment, your skin will likely get some rashes once it rubs constantly against the board.

Besides guarding your skin against the rashes that rubbing on the surfing can cause to your skin, a rash vest is also a good protection from being sun burnt. Surfers are exposed to the heat of the sun for very long hours, therefore it is very important that they wear a suit that will not only avoid the UV rays of the sun from penetrating their skin, but also can keep their skin cool even under the sun.

Surfers aren't the sole ones who can take advantage of rash vests. Divers also use these vests along with their wetsuits. The key function of rash vests for divers is to keep the skin protected against the severe temperature of the deep water. If you have decided to purchase a rash vest, there are many things that you will need to take into consideration.

First of all, you must make certain that the vest fits you perfectly. There is no point in wearing such kind of vest if it allows water to sip in and make contact with your skin.

There are plenty of brands of rash vest, and all of them are good in their own way. There are some rash vests which are made with automatic heaters, which you will just have to press to adjust the warmth or temperature that you need. The one thing that all these brands have in common is that they are created from polypropylene, which is very flexible. Because of this, while your whole body is covered by this type of vest, you won't be restricted in terms of the movements that you want to make.
