Rash Guard
A Rash Guard is a type of athletic shirt made of either lycra or nylon and intended to be worn in the water. Rash guards are used for light coverage in warm to moderately warm temperatures for several watersports including surfing, scuba diving, snorkelling, wakeboarding, and kayaking.
There are several possible meanings to the name rash guard itself. A rash guard provides some coverage from sunlight to prevent sunburn. It also provides some protection to the skin in watersports from a "rash" or irritation caused by rapid impact with surface water or a wave.
