If you stumbled across our online store or this blog and have no idea what a rash guard is you may be thinking, “how weird”, or “that’s disgusting!”.
Don’t worry… we’ll explain what a rash guard is and after reading what we have to say you just may even want one! 
Rash guards, (also known as surf shirts, swim shirts, rashies and other names I probably haven’t heard of), are thin, tight-fitting shirts made of a lycra/nylon blend.
They’re designed to provide rash, abrasion and UV protection in and around the water. They can vary in SPF rating but our rash guards are some of the highest rated shirts, providing SPF 150+, (UPF 50+), protection wet or dry – that’s higher than any sunscreen on the market today.
Rash guard shirts fit skin tight so they stay put in the water and surfers have been wearing them for decades to protect their skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun as well as from painful rashes that can develop from laying and rubbing on their surfboards.
With all the dangers of skin cancer that have been discovered over the years, rashguards are no longer only being worn only by surfers but they are becoming a staple in many families arsenal of UV protection.
Cheaper, easier to use and longer lasting than any sunscreen, they’re perfect for the entire family and are especially great for kids who hate sitting still for their sunscreen application or getting out of the water for their re-application.
More recently and with the popularity of MMA and grappling, rashguards are now worn for skin protection in almost all forms of martial arts.
So… now you know rash guards are not something weird or disgusting but something helpful and protective that you and your family may actually want to use.

Last week we reminded you about the year round uses for rash guards, but we forgot to mention the kids!!
Our kid’s rash guards can also be useful for the little ones even if they’re not in the water.
Just like our mens and women’s rash guard shirts, your children can wear these shirts to protect their skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun all year long – especially if they’re playing any type of outdoor sports.
Rash guard shirts are especially useful when worn under any uniforms or padding that can rub against our child’s skin – say their football uniform for example. Not only will these specialized shirts protect your kids from getting rashes and scrapes but they also provide muscle compression and support.
For this type of use we would highly recommend a long sleeve rash guard shirt.
So just because it’s not Summer, doesn’t mean you should forget about protecting your child’s skin with a kids rashguard shirt!

Here’s a great article we previously published but have been asked to re-post so here you go:
This informative article will discuss how kids rash guards can protect your child while they’re participating in outdoor sports.
Whether it’s soccer, swimming, football, baseball or a host of other team or individual activities, kids are playing outdoor sports at younger and younger ages. This means that parents are purchasing lots of expensive sunscreen products which they have to reapply throughout the day as their children sweat and rub the products off.
But we have some good news as this expensive and inconvenient process is no longer necessary!
Rash guards will now protect your young athlete’s skin and block up to 97 percent of the sun’s harmful UVA and UVB rays from ever reaching your child’s skin.
UV protective clothing, especially kids rashguards, are playing a bigger and bigger role in childrens’ outdoor sports these days. And rash guards are not just limited to water sports.
Rash guards are designed from tightly-woven lycra and nylon materials that will not only block harmful UV rays from reaching your child’s skin with an SPF rating of 150+, but will also protect their skin from rashes and abrasions.
Rashguards dry very quickly since they are designed to be used in the water. This will help to prevent any skin irritation that may be caused by prolonged exposure to wet clothes. You don’t have to worry that your child will be uncomfortable while they wait to dry.
Kid rash guards come in both long and short sleeve styles to meet all your child’s competitive sports needs. No matter what your little athlete needs there is a childrens rash guard available to meet them!
Kid rash guards are available in a variety of colors and patterns that will appeal to both kids and their parents.
Available in bright solid colors or fun patterns, rashguards can be found to make even your smallest athlete happy and safe.
Now that rashguards are taking the place of expensive sun block products in kid’s competitive sports you can shop at www.Buy-Rash-Guards.com with confidence knowing that our high quality rash guards are made in the USA, provide SPF 150+ UV protection and will protect your child’s skin against many factors that can cause painful burn and rash when participating in outdoor competitive sports.
