The full rundown on Rashies
Rashies for the crew that stays out all day
Sun and salt do not care how good the sesh was. Sunscreen is gone at the first wipeout; a rashie stays on until you take it off. The snug rashies are stretch nylon and spandex with flatlock or Jet-Loc seams so nothing rubs under the vest, the hydro tees are quick-dry Jet-Lite micro jersey, and most of the range carries a UPF 50+ rating, listed on each product page. Under the life jacket on the ski, over swimmers at the beach, straight into the water: that is the whole job description.
Shop by who is wearing it
- Mens rashies — long and short sleeve rashies, hooded rashies, Jet-Lite hydro tees, Venture fishing polos and rashie pants for the legs.
- Womens rashies — Cause, Corp and Pacer long sleeve rashies, the Corp hooded rashie, hydro tees and the rash shirt and short sets. Cut for her, not shrunk down from his.
- Kids rashies — girls and boys rashies and long sleeve swimsuits for the groms, in black and the brighter colourways you can spot from the boat.
Rashie, hydro tee or fishing polo
A rashie is the snug one: cut close so it stays put under a vest and does not float up when you get flung. A hydro tee is the relaxed one in quick-dry Jet-Lite micro jersey, the T-shirt rashie you throw over boardies between swims. A fishing polo or sun shirt is the collared long sleeve for the dawnie with a rod in hand. All three do the same job in the sun; pick by how close you want it to sit and how long you are out.
Why sun protection matters on the water
Water bounces the UV straight back at you and the breeze hides the burn until it is done. A rated rashie is the easiest sun protection you will ever put on, because it does not wash off and you cannot forget to reapply it. Long sleeve covers the most skin, hooded adds the neck and the ears, and the UPF 50+ rating on the rated styles is on the product page, not a guess. Everything rated across the range sits on the UPF sun protection page.
Fit is the point
Snug enough that it stays down when you hit the water, loose enough to move. Rashies are cut close; hydro tees and polos are cut relaxed. Mens sizes run S to 3XL, womens 8 to 16 and kids from 4 up, and the size guide has the measurements so the grom gets one that fits this summer, not next. Wear it under an AS 4758 approved life jacket on the ski and get amongst it.
