the covered areas
The fondest of summertime memories for most babies, are those of long hot and sunny days at the beach. Those memories conjure mental pics of playing in the surf, burying Dad alive and eating peanut butter and sand sandwiches. The thoughts that don't usually jump to the front of our seaside memories are those of the sun burns. This is because they tend to keep in mind the best of times over the worst of times. No matter how well Mom lathered on the sunscreen, there were always spots missed, and boy, weren't they visible at the finish of the day! The advent of the rash guard shirt has come to the rescue of modern Mothers and Dads to prevent these painful experiences.Ed HardyThe rash guard shirt was originally developed for surfers who were getting rashes from the wax on their surf boards. The wax would hold sand from the beach and then they would be rubbing their torsos on the wax as they paddled out to the break. Rash guards are now manufactured from fabrics that hold high UPF factors, most of them are 50 . This is about the best protection that you can get from the Sun's damaging rays, short of staying inside in the first place. The primary benefit of the shirt is that there's no "missed spots" as there's with sun lotion. The rash guards are also rapid drying, so they are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Two times a child starts to wear at the beach, it becomes second nature, like a life jacket, and the whole headache and worry of sunburn is gone (at least for the covered areas.
Other sports and activities have adopted the rash guard shirt in to standard operating procedure as well. In Karate, the shirt is worn under the Gi to prevent chafing from the stiff cotton uniform. In Grappling, most fighters now wear the long sleeve rash guard shirt, as they make it more difficult to grasp by the opponent. In yachting, professional crews now wear the rash guard shirt as a uniform item in the coursework of water sports because they are rapid drying and look much sharper than a wet T-Shirt.bikini
