Rashguards are a type of athletic vest or shirt that is typically made out of spandex and polyester. They are often worn as a form of swimwear, but are versatile and can be worn in virtually any setting. Rash guards were first invented in Australia to protect athletes in various water sports. Here are some benefits of wearing rash guards:

Prevents rashes: Rash guards are skin tight and have long sleeves to cover your body, ensuring the utmost protection for your skin. They help prevent the skin from getting rashes when you engage in certain activities. Rashes can occur for a variety of reasons. You might react to a sting from creatures like jellyfish or bees, you can get a rash from too much sun exposure, or you might react to the elements of the ocean. Especially if you are surfing or engaging in other ocean activities, you are likely to have sand and salty water slam into your skin, which is bound to cause painful rashes.

Prevents sunburns: Rash guards provide extra protection from harmful UV rays and abrasions to the skin from sand and hard surfaces. They are an essential piece of gear for anyone spending time in or near water – whether you’re hunting barrels or dodging the sun poolside .

Provides support: Wearing a rash guard helps to provide better support and stabilize your body parts as you train. As you exercise, the rash guard adds pressure to your muscles and supports some of the strain. The pressure to your muscles also helps blood circulation, which aids in the bodies recovery process as you exercise .

A flattering garment: Rash guards are available in a variety of colors and designs, making them a stylish addition to your swimwear collection. They are also versatile and can be worn with shorts, skirts, or pants
