UV & Rash Tops

Sun and chafe protection for dinghy sailing, boards and warm-water crewing. Two different tools here: a rash vest is cut tight to go under a wetsuit, harness or buoyancy aid and stop seams rubbing skin raw, while a looser UV top is worn on its own for hot days when sunburn is the main hazard, not cold. Both dry fast and offer rated UPF sun protection — a wet cotton t-shirt offers close to none. You will find past-season Zhik, Rooster, Musto and Sail Racing here. If it is going under neoprene, buy your snug size; wrinkles under a wetsuit cause exactly the chafe you bought it to prevent.
