Loose, Comfortable Sun Protection for Surf and Swim

The Rip Curl Stack UPF50 Short Sleeve Rash Tee is for blokes who want proper sun protection without squeezing into a tight rash vest. It has a loose fit that feels more like a regular tee, so it's comfortable to wear in the water and around the beach. The lightweight, quick-moving fabric is rated UPF 50+ to Australian Standard AS4399:2020. It helps keep your shoulders, back and chest covered whether you're paddling out at Main Beach, swimming with the kids or spending the day on the sand.

FAQ

What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ is the highest sun protection rating for fabric. It means the fabric blocks at least 98% of UV radiation. This rash tee is tested to Australian Standard AS4399:2020.

What's the difference between a rash tee and a rash vest?
A rash vest usually fits snugly against the body. A rash tee like this one has a looser fit, so it feels more like a regular t-shirt while still giving sun protection.

Can I surf in a loose fit rash tee?
Yes. The stretch fabric moves with you when paddling. Some surfers prefer a snug fit for less drag, but plenty of people choose a loose fit for comfort.

Do I still need sunscreen with a rash tee?
Yes. Use sunscreen on any skin the tee doesn't cover, like your face, neck, arms and legs.
