DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Targeted Cut Protection
The integrated Diston AntiCut technology reinforces the lycra, significantly boosting its resistance to cuts and abrasion. You'll feel the difference at spots where scrapes from sharp foils and fins are a risk: the protective layer is discreet yet offers solid defense for exposed areas.
Sun Protection and Extended Comfort
With a UPF 50+ rating, this rashguard blocks harmful UV rays, letting you ride longer without worrying about sunburn. The breathable fabric wicks moisture and dries quickly, keeping you comfortable between sessions or when worn under a wetsuit.
Freedom of Movement and Snug Fit
The 4-way stretch fabric ensures excellent freedom of movement, essential for paddling, maneuvers, and transitions. Its snug fit minimizes chafing and irritation under a harness or wetsuit, while remaining comfortable on its own or as a base layer.
Durable, Water-Ready Construction
Reinforced panels and quality finishing enhance durability against repeated stress and abrasion. The understated black design fits any style and has a low-key look on the beach and in the water.
Versatile Use
Designed for Surf, Kite, wingfoil, windsurf, and SUP, this rashguard is an easy addition to your technical wardrobe. We recommend it as your main protective layer when the risk of cuts or sun exposure is high.
Care Tips
To maximize its lifespan, rinse your rashguard in fresh water after each session and let it dry in the shade. Avoid direct heat sources, which can damage the properties of the Diston fabric and its elasticity.
