Rapid Dry is a unisex fit - please refer to the Mens & Rapid Dry size chart for Rapid Dry sizing.

Rapid Dry can be sized a number of ways to suit your preference or type of use. If you choose your regular shirt size, Rapid Dry will be form fitting to slightly loose fit.

If you prefer a loose fit similar to a loose fitting T-shirt then we recommend you chose a size up from your regular shirt size.

If you would prefer a body fitting or snug fit (like a fitted lycra rash shirt for example) then we would recommend that you select a size down from your regular shirt size. 

For details see our size chart.

Sharkskin Rapid Dry is a single-layer lightweight and fast drying material that has re-invented and revolutionised the traditional rashie or rash shirt by adding better technology and superior features.

What makes Rapid Dry the best single-layer technical material for water sports of its kind?

Water Shedding - Rapid Dry is a lightweight, fast drying material which is ‘infused’ and then ‘heat set’ with a water repellent treatment (WRT). This method achieves a WRT finish that is much more effective at shedding water and also lasts much longer than traditional WRT material treatments.

Construction - The Rapid Dry material uses a specialised 3-D ‘rib-knit’ construction which creates far superior ‘insulation’ properties than cotton and nylon / lycra synthetic materials. This type of construction provides more warmth when the material is dry and a lot more warmth than standard weave garments when wet.

Durability - Additionally, by using a premium and very durable thread type the Rapid Dry material has 100% resistance to swimming pool chemicals (chlorine, bromine, etc) and very good resistance to the abrasive effects of salt micro-crystals formed as seawater dries out in the material.

Performance - Rapid Dry is breathable with very good ‘air permeability’ and also ‘wicks‘ moisture from your skin to the outer layer of the material to help disperse sweat. It is perfect for active water sports where it is important to regulate body temperature – like paddle sports, sailing, and any water sports where your heart rate indicates a performance requirement.

Safety - Rapid Dry has a UPF 50+ rating for protection from the Sun. This is very important as the majority of water sports are outside and in many cases the water can reflect and magnify the effect of the Sun’s harmful rays.

Visibility - Rapid Dry material comes in a wide range of colours including hi-visibility colours for safety. The premium dyes used are more colourfast than dyes used in cheaper garments and last much longer, so you are safer and more likely to be seen out on the ocean.

Fashion - The added thickness created by the 3-D ‘rib-knit’ construction also gives Rapid Dry material its ‘thickness’ which stops the garment from ‘draping’ when wet. Combined with the WRT treatment this means that Rapid Dry garments do not ‘cling’ to your body and impede movement like other water sports garments do, and instead look great when worn dry or wet.

Rapid Dry is perfect by itself as a rashie with extra insulation or layered over the top of a Chillproof or Titanium Chillproof top to provide more insulation and water shedding capabilities. It really is your do-it-all water sports garment that you can wear in and under the water and looks fashionable enough to wear to the café or bar afterwards.

At SHARKSKIN, we deeply care about the environment, as many of us are avid scuba divers and natural world enthusiasts. Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through five key company initiatives.

  1. Solar Powered
    We are pleased to announce Sharkskin’s new building is 100% solar powered.
  2. Environmental Manufacturing 
    Sharkskin manufactures in its own factory, allowing us to strictly control waste and efficiency. We pack our orders effectively to reduce freight and waste, and we use cutting-edge technology to minimize material waste throughout the manufacturing process.
  3. Biodegradable Packaging
    We have transitioned to biodegradable packaging. Currently, 95% of our range uses this packaging, with a goal to reach 100% soon. All newly manufactured items will be packed in the new biodegradable bags, while items in stock will remain in existing packaging.
  4. Australian Made
    We are proud to announce that we have been accredited to use the official Australian made Logo. The official website states, “The famous ‘Australian Made, Australian Grown’ (AMAG) logo is the true mark of Aussie authenticity. It’s Australia’s most trusted, most recognised and widely used country of origin symbol, and it’s underpinned by a third-party accreditation system, which ensures, products that carry the logo are genuinely Australian”.
    95% of our range is proudly Australian-made. Products that do not feature the "Australian Made" logo below the "buy now" button are not manufactured in Australia.
  5. Built to Last
    We believe in creating quality gear that stands the test of time and the harsh Australian conditions. This not only results in a better product but also keeps items out of landfills, reducing waste and environmental impact for the future.

At Sharkskin, we are an accredited Australian Made company. Born and bred in Beresfield NSW, SHARKSKIN™ prides itself in being Australian Made. All garments are designed and manufactured locally by a dedicated team of 35 workers. 

Our employees are an integral part of the business, which is why we strive to be an ethical and non-discriminatory company. We have partnered with Mai-Wel Labour Force Solutions Australia to ensure our workforce is diverse and giving anybody a chance – no matter who you are.

    Comfy hypoallergenic hi viz

    Really great: my son is allergic to latex so Lycra irritates his skin. This rashie does none of that plus I can see him from hundreds of metres away which is great

    Sharkskin long sleeve rash guard

    This is my first diving trip. My gear choices were my top concern. Bout one from my dive shop, forgot its name, and the other from sharkskin.i used both my first two days here in Bonaire. The sharkskin is my absolute favorite. The chart size recommended the large but I usually wear mediums. It was excellent advice. The fit is crazy good. I rinse it out every night and it drys quickly. I will order more for my next diving trip! Thanks for a great product!
