Salty Crew Bitmap Boys Hood Sunshirt
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
The Salty Crew Bitmap Boys Hood Sunshirt is a hooded rash guard style sunshirt for boys, the kind of piece parents search for when they ask what rash guards are and why surfers and paddlers wear them for beach and water days.
What a Rash Guard Sunshirt Does
Rash guards are worn over the torso to shield skin from the rubbing and chafing that comes from paddling, wetsuits, boards, and long stretches in the sun and salt water. A hooded sunshirt like this one adds coverage over the head and neck, areas that get a lot of direct sun exposure during a full day outside.
Built for Active Kids
This hooded sunshirt is designed for boys who spend their days moving, whether that is bodyboarding, swimming, paddling, or just playing at the beach. The hood adds an extra layer over standard rash guard coverage for kids who are in and out of the water for hours at a time.
Where and How It's Worn
A sunshirt like this is meant to go on before the day starts and stay on through swimming, paddling, and beach play, since rash guards are built to be worn wet. It layers well under a wetsuit for cooler water or on its own over swim trunks for a standard beach day.
Care Guidance
Rash guard fabric holds up best when rinsed in fresh water after ocean or pool use and hung to dry rather than left balled up wet, which helps the fabric and any printed graphics last through repeated days at the beach.
Salty Crew's Brand Story
Salty Crew began as a simple ode to traditional surf culture, paying homage to the explorers and hard working people who took risks on their own terms. The brand blends modern fabrics and technology into surf inspired apparel, extending that same ocean going spirit down to kids' gear like this hooded sunshirt.
Why Buy From Island Water Sports
