Ocean Blues Long-Sleeve Zip Surf Rash Guard

A surf cut: long raglan sleeves, a standing collar, and a zip down the front that opens far enough to get the suit on and off over wet skin. The sleeves end in thumbholes that keep the cuff over the back of the hand on a board. Inside is a built-in bra with removable pads and no wire, so there is nothing to shift when you paddle out and nothing to dig in when you lie on it.

Chlorine and salt both stay in the teeth of a zip if you leave them, so rinse the front in cold water with the zip closed and let the suit dry flat. Sizes run S to 3XL. Seven colourways, every one of them solid: black, white, red, dark green, hot pink, navy and royal blue.

One of 11 on the one-piece swimsuits rail in the Ocean Blues collection. It also answers to rash guards. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
