Exactly what constitutes the best rash vest or wetsuit top will depend on what you're using it for. If you're surfing or swimming in higher temperatures, UV protection will be important while warmth won't. If you're a cold water swimmer then long sleeves and thermal features may come higher up your priority list. Whether you’re looking for a one-piece swimsuit, tankinis, swimming tops, bikinis or skirted swimsuits and swim shorts — we have options for women and men with our high-quality range of swim shorts, trunks and swim briefs coming in a variety of sizes and styles.

Sleeve length: Rash vests typically come with short or long sleeves, and which you choose will come down to how much coverage you're after. Do bear in mind that it can be easier to move in short-sleeved styles, particularly with less flexible materials like neoprene.

Though used interchangeably, rash vests and wetsuit tops aren't technically the same thing. A rash vest tends to be made of nylon or polyester, and while one will take the edge off wind-chill, it won't keep you warm like a wetsuit top will. The main function of rash vests is to protect against friction and UV rays. Decathlon swimwear offers a variety of designs, cuts and functionality to transform your next trip to deliver utter comfort and style in our swimsuits. Swimming Clothes When it comes to swimming clothes, durability and comfort come first. With long and frequent periods spent at the pool or natural waters, your swimwear has to be able to last through wear and tear, and our range will impress. If you’re looking for the perfect range of women’s swimming tops, you’ll find an incredible range of surfing swimsuit bikinis as well as short sleeve UV protective t-shirts for greater coverage when you need some. Our range makes for easy dressing, easy to throw on over your swimsuit or else simply to wear by itself. Rash vests can be worn alone, over swimwear or under a wetsuit — this is common for surfers, to protect against board rash (hence the name). They're ideal if you want a little more coverage for either modesty or sun protection purposes, or if you want an extra layer between yourself and the elements. What's the difference between a rash vest and a wetsuit top?
