O'Neill WMS Basic Skins Sun Shirt S/S

UV rash vest for water activities

The O’Neill Basic Skins UV rash vest is a loose-fit UV top with UPF 50+ protection that will quickly become an essential piece of clothing for all water adventures in hot, sunny destinations.

This UV top is recommended for various water activities where you are exposed to strong Mediterranean sun for longer periods of time.

The O’Neill Basic Skins UV rash vest is suitable for snorkeling, swimming, paddleboarding, and even short walks along the beach at midday. It is especially recommended for windsurfing and kitesurfing, where it helps prevent chafing from the harness on bare skin.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

The fabric of this UV rash vest blocks at least 98% of UVB rays and 95% of UVA rays, providing maximum sun protection. For comparison, a regular cotton T-shirt offers protection of only around UPF 5.

UV rash vest protects the skin from ageing

UV protection does not only prevent sunburn, but also protects the skin from premature ageing and long-term damage caused by sun exposure.

With proper sun protection, you reduce skin dehydration and also help prevent fatigue caused by prolonged exposure to strong sunlight.

That is why the O’Neill Skins UV rash vest is designed specifically for safe exposure to Mediterranean sun.

Fit of the UV rash vest: loose and relaxed

The loose fit is ideal for anyone who prioritizes comfort and does not like tight clothing. Air can circulate under the shirt, helping it dry faster and keeping you cooler in hot conditions.
