rash guards

Snug beach tops

Rash guards are fitted athletic shirts worn for water sports, originally designed to prevent skin irritation from surfboard wax and sand.

Made of stretchy synthetic fabric, they provide sun protection and reduce chafing: Don't forget your rash guard—we'll be out on the water all day.

Common in surfing, swimming, and other activities where skin meets abrasive surfaces.
