O'Neill Youth Basic Skins Rash Guard
For a family shopping for kids' beach and water gear, the O'Neill Youth Basic Skins Short Sleeve delivers world-renowned O'Neill quality at a value-driven price, built around U.P.F. 50+ ultraviolet protection with cleanly designed graphics.
What It's Made Of
This rash guard is constructed from a 6oz polyester and spandex blend with 4-way stretch, so it moves with an active kid rather than fighting them. O'Neill placed the seams strategically and used overlock stitching for a super-strong finish, which is what keeps a rash guard from irritating skin during long paddling or board sessions.
- 50+ U.P.F. maximum protection
- Strategic seam placement to prevent rash
- 4-way stretch, 6oz polyester and spandex
- Slim fit, overlock stitched seams
Who It's For
This is a piece for kids who are in and out of the water all day, whether that is surfing, boogie boarding, swimming, or just playing at the beach. Because it reduces fatigue from sun exposure and prevents rash from boards or sand, it is the kind of layer parents put on before the first session and leave on through the rest of the day.
How To Wear And Care For It
The slim fit is designed to sit close to the body so the fabric can do its job protecting against rash and sun, without feeling tight thanks to the 4-way stretch. Because the shirt is a technical polyester and spandex knit rather than plain cotton, follow the garment's care label rather than treating it like an everyday cotton tee, since that keeps the UPF protection and stretch intact wash after wash.
