Where to buy

O’Neill has used a four-way material that helps cool you down as moisture evaporates from its surface. The fabric seems quite thin but it still gives plenty of protection. Flatlock stitching means there’s less of the chafing you get with some other rashies and seamless paddle zones give a greater range of movement. Again, the downside is no board short connectors.

But this is still a great value rash guard that will keep you cool, especially if you’re surfing somewhere tropical (or subtropical for that matter, such as these surfing beaches in California).
