Sun protection is a must-have when spending long hours in the sun—especially in Australia’s intense summer heat. Our collection of sun protection swimwear includes rash vests, capri pants, and cover-ups that are designed to shield your skin while keeping you cool and comfortable. Whether you're surfing, swimming, or simply relaxing poolside, these UV-protective pieces are your first line of defence.
Choose from short-sleeve and long-sleeve rashies, sleek zip-front styles, and breathable fabrics that offer maximum coverage without compromising on movement. Many items in this collection also pair back perfectly with our swimwear separates and fashion cover-ups for effortless beach-to-bar styling.
What Makes Sun Protection Swimwear Different?
Unlike standard swimwear, sun protection swimwear is designed with UPF-rated fabrics that block harmful UV rays. These garments typically cover more skin and are made for extended outdoor wear—perfect for staying safe in the sun without reapplying sunscreen every hour.
Do You Have Long-Sleeve Rash Vests?
Yes. We stock both short and long sleeve rash vests in stylish colours and prints. Great for paddleboarding, surfing, or just lounging in full coverage comfort.
Can I Wear Rash Vests Casually?
Absolutely. Many of our customers love wearing their rashies not only in the water but as stylish tops for walking, gardening, or travelling. Lightweight and quick-drying, they’re perfect for active lifestyles.
Do Rash Vests Provide Support?
Most rash vests are designed to be worn over your bikini or one-piece swimsuit, so they don’t usually have built-in bust support. If you’re after both coverage and support, wear a cup-fit swimsuit underneath for the best of both worlds.
Can I Try These Styles On In-Store?
Yes! Visit us at The Foundation Neutral Bay or Rozelle, or at Lin & Barrett in Bowral for a personal fitting. Our team is happy to help you find the best fit and level of coverage for your summer plans.
