While a rash guard can provide some warmth and sun protection, it is not designed to replace a wetsuit. Our rash guards are not made from neoprene and are not intended to keep you warm in cold waters like a wetsuit would. As an option and for personal liking, you can use our rash guard underneath a wetsuit to prevent neoprene chafing.
