Dura Flex Rashies

BUILT TO LAST, DESIGNED TO PROTECT
Most rashies barely last a season — becoming faded, stretched, and falling apart by summer’s end. When they lose shape and colour, they also lose their UV protection — leaving your skin exposed to UV damage. Dura Flex changes that forever.
Proudly made in Australia, Dura Flex is engineered from an advanced polyester–spandex blend that combines unbeatable UPF 50+ sun protection with strength, softness, and durability that ordinary rashies can’t match.
WHY SHARKSKIN DURA FLEX OUTPERFORMS ORDINARY RASHIES
At Sharkskin, performance isn’t just about appearance — it’s about results. While other brands attempt to imitate our designs, none of the copies can match the innovation, quality, and craftsmanship that defines Sharkskin. Many cheaper, mass-produced alternatives may look similar, but the difference becomes clear the moment you put them to the test. Nylon / lycra rashies are typically less flexible, and far less durable than genuine Sharkskin Dura Flex rash shirts.
Simply put, it may look like Sharkskin — but it’s not Sharkskin.
