Male Adult Long Sleeve Thermal Lycra Red Rash Vest, Ideal for Swimming, Diving, Kitesurfing and Surfing

Description

The Flexifoil rash vest, also known as rash guard or rashie, is Flexifoil's fitted shirt made of Lycra and nylon. It protects you against rashes caused by abrasion. The rash vest can be worn by itself, or under a wetsuit. By itself, the light coverage can help keep you keep warm in several watersports including kitesurfing, scuba diving, snorkelling, freediving, wakeboarding, body surfing, body boarding, windsurfing, kayaking, or simply for stand up paddle surfing or swimming. The rash vest is most often worn in surfing when the weather is too warm for a wetsuit, and to prevent wax-based chafing from sliding on and off of the surf board, on either the torso, or the legs. A surfboard's wax holds sand from the beach that could rub against a surfer's torso while paddling out to the break, or legs while sitting atop one's board. The rash vest includes flatlock stitching, and six panel construction. Flatlock stitching creates a seam where the seam allowances lies flat to the garment instead of hanging loose from it. It is made by adjusting the overlock or the thread overedge stitch. Flatlock stitching increases the strength of the garment for intense exercise or recreational activities. Six panel construction versus the conventional 4 panel tee shirt construction allows the user increased mobility wet or dry. The combination of products used to construct a rash guard differ slightly depending on the designer. The use of nylon and Lycra create a garment that is lightweight, quick drying, flexible, durable, naturally antibacterial and water wicking. Flexifoil is very famous for producing world-class kite products since 1972, and with such a wealth of experience in fabrics and design, we are proud to produce premium quality garments which reflect the same exceptionally high standards of material and stiching seen in our kites. Flexifoil products were chosen by Sir Richard Branson which aided him to achieve three kitesurfing world records in 2012.
