Product Description
The O’Neill Basic Skins Short Sleeve Rash Vest delivers reliable sun protection and comfort at a great price point. Designed with U.P.F. 50+ protection, it shields your skin from harmful UV rays during long sessions in the water or on the beach.
Made from lightweight 4-way stretch fabric, it moves naturally with your body whether you’re surfing, swimming, paddleboarding or simply spending time in the sun. The slim performance fit layers easily under a wetsuit while also working perfectly as a standalone top in warm conditions.
Strategic seam placement helps prevent chafing, and the flatlock stitched construction keeps the vest breathable and comfortable against the skin. Unlike cotton tees, it won’t sag, stretch out or stay waterlogged when wet — it dries quickly and maintains its shape.
If you’re looking for simple, effective UV and rash protection from a trusted brand, the Basic Skins Short Sleeve is hard to beat.
