Rash Vest

UPF50+ rash vests for babies and kids

Long days around the water call for more than a hat. Our UPF50+ Rash Vests give babies, toddlers and kids long-sleeve upper-body coverage for swimming lessons, beach days, pools and water play.

They’re made from soft, stretchy, quick-drying and chlorine-friendly swim fabric, with a zip at the back to make getting them on and off easier, especially when everything is wet.

Bright neon colour options are easy to spot on busy beaches, around resort pools and during family holidays, helping little ones stand out when there’s plenty happening around them. Matching swim hats are available too, so you can put together an easy coordinated set.

Sizes run from 3 months through to 12 years.

Which swim hat should I pair with a rash vest?

For babies and younger toddlers, pair their rashie with a Swim Legionnaire Hat, with a soft flap for extra coverage around the ears and neck.

For active older kids, choose a Swim Classic Bucket Hat, or a Swim Ponytail Bucket Hat for kids who like wearing longer hair tied back.

Many of our swim hats coordinate with the rash vest colours and prints, including bright options that are easy to pick out during busy beach and pool days.

Don’t forget the wet gear

Add a Wet Bag for damp swimmers, rash vests and hats once the swimming is done.

You can also bundle the essentials together. Our Summer Somewhere Bundle includes a UPF50+ swim hat, rash vest and wet bag, while our Swim Bundle Up pairs a rash vest with a wet bag.

What about everyday outdoor wear?

Rash vests and swim hats are made for the water. For daycare, park days and everyday outdoor adventures, explore our cotton-rich sun hats or lightweight linen sun hats instead.
