DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Targeted Cut Protection
The integrated Diston AntiCut technology in the fabric significantly boosts the lycra's resistance to cuts and abrasion. You'll definitely notice the difference in spots where foils and fins can be abrasive: this layer remains discreet while offering serious defense for exposed areas.
Sun Protection and Extended Comfort
With a UPF 50+ rating, this rashguard effectively blocks harmful UV rays. It lets you ride longer without fear of sunburn. The breathable fabric wicks away moisture and is quick-drying. This ensures you stay comfortable between sessions or when worn under a wetsuit.
Freedom of Movement and Snug Fit
The 4-way stretch fabric guarantees exceptional freedom of movement, which is crucial for paddling, maneuvers, and transitions. Its snug fit minimizes chafing and irritation when worn under a harness or wetsuit. It remains comfortable on its own or as a base layer.
Durability and Water-Optimized Construction
Reinforced panels and meticulous finishing enhance durability against repeated pulling and abrasion. The understated black design effortlessly complements any style. It maintains a discreet profile both on the beach and in the water.
Allround use
This rashguard is for Surf, Kite, wingfoil, windsurf, and SUP. It is a seamless addition to your technical gear. It's your go-to primary protective layer when you need serious defense against cuts or intense sun exposure.
Usage Tips
To maximize its lifespan, rinse your rashguard with fresh water after every session. Allow it to dry in the shade. Avoid direct heat sources, as these can compromise the properties of the Diston fabric and its elasticity.
