A Hooded Rashguard Built for Long Days in the Sun
If you are searching for a salty crew hooded rash guard that actually keeps you covered from paddle out to last wave, the Apex Hood Surf Rashguard is built around that exact problem. It pairs UPF 50+ sun protection with a fitted hood and EVA visor so your scalp, ears and neck get the same coverage as your shoulders and back, cutting down the sun fatigue that cuts surf sessions short.

Who It Is For
This rashguard is made for surfers, paddlers and anyone spending hours on a South Florida beach or boat who wants sun coverage without giving up mobility. The 4-way stretch fabric moves with a full paddling and popping-up motion, while the moisture wicking, anti-microbial construction keeps it from turning clammy on a long session or a full day on the water.
Fit and Care
The Apex Hood is form fitting and runs true to size. If you prefer a looser, more relaxed feel, size up. Because the fabric is a stretch polyester and elastane blend, it is best cared for by rinsing after saltwater use and washing cold rather than hot, which helps the stretch and UPF performance hold up over repeated wears.
About Salty Crew
Salty Crew grew out of traditional surf culture, built by people drawn to the water for their own reasons rather than for attention. The brand carries that same ethos into modern fabrics and technology, applying it to gear like the Apex Hood so time in the sun does not have to come with a trade-off.
