Rash Guards for Women

Why do women wear rash guards?

Women wear rash guards for sun protection, comfort, and performance in water sports and outdoor activities. Rash guards help prevent chafing from boards or wetsuits, shield the skin from UV rays, and offer a layer of protection against sand, coral, and minor abrasions. They’re also quick-drying, making them ideal for both water and beach activities.

What does a woman wear under a rashguard?ﾠ

Women typically wear a swimsuit or bikini under a rash guard. This provides support, coverage, and allows for easy changes when removing the rash guard. Some women also choose to wear a sports bra for added comfort and support, especially during active sports.

Should women wear a bra under a rash guard?ﾠ

Yes, many women prefer to wear a sports bra or swim top under a rash guard for added support. Rash guards are generally form-fitting but don’t provide structured support like a bra. If the rash guard is fitted and being used for casual wear, some may opt to go without a bra, but it’s a personal choice based on comfort and the activity.

Should rash guards be tight or loose for women?

A rash guard should fit snugly but comfortably on women, especially for water sports, to avoid drag and to stay in place. A tight fit also enhances UV protection and prevents chafing. However, for casual wear or sun protection, a slightly looser fit can be comfortable. Always check the size chart for the specific brand to ensure a comfortable and practical fit.
