What makes the Rapid Dry garment different?

It’s durable fabric resists deterioration in UV, saltwater and chlorine so the garment will last longer. Odour resistant properties so the garment can be worn for long periods of time.

Unlike regular rash vests it does not ‘cling’ to your body and impede movement like other watersports garments do. The stylish loose fit T-shirt design is super comfortable when worn by itself for all watersports but can also be worn layered over other Sharkskin tops for extra insulation and sun protection when needed. It’s available in short and long-sleeve for adults and kids.
