The C-Skins NuWave Rash X Men’s Short Sleeve Vest is a technical, high-performance base layer designed for the active waterman. Whether used to add a layer of comfort and prevent chafing under a wetsuit or as a standalone top to shield against the sun, the Rash X is a versatile essential for any watersports kit. Featuring a short-sleeve, high-neck design with a close, ergonomic fit, this vest utilizes C-Skins' exclusive Xtend U.P.F 50+ material, ensuring you stay protected from harmful UV rays without compromising on movement or flexibility.

Built for the rigours of the ocean, the Rash X is constructed from premium quality Lycra with a performance-driven minimal panel design. The Xtend fabric is 4-way stretch and fully breathable, allowing body heat and moisture to escape during intense paddling or surfing sessions. A practical boardshort loop is integrated into the hem to keep the vest securely in place, even in turbulent conditions. Finished in a sophisticated Wine colorway, the NuWave Rash X combines technical protection with ultimate comfort for long days on the water.

Expert Advice: A short-sleeve rash vest is an absolute staple for UK waters. During those peak summer months, the U.P.F 50+ protection is a lifesaver, allowing you to stay out for multiple sessions without burning. In the winter, wearing one under your 5/4 or 6/5 suit can really help if you struggle with neck-rub or chest irritation from thicker neoprene. The Wine colorway is a great choice if you want something that stands out from the standard black options. We recommend a tight, snug fit to ensure the fabric doesn't bunch up when wet.
