Rashie, rash vests, wet shirts, swim shirts. Whatever you like to call them, rashies have become a swim staple. Whether you wear them for sun protection, modesty, warmth, or style, rash vests are an essential item included in most beach bags each summer.
Gone are the days when the only rashie you could find was a sports store basic in awful neon colours offering no shape or style. Now you can find rash vests in beautiful prints and fashion colours to mix and match with your swimwear, creating a swim outfit that is stylish as well as practical.
So, what are rashies made of?
Rash vests have a variety of uses, with designs and fabrics available to suit your specific requirements. It’s important to think of how and where you’ll be wearing your rash vest to make sure you choose one that will work for you.
Insulated rashies for water sports will be made from a different fabric to those you’d wear for aqua aerobics at your local pool, and a chic rashie made to keep the sun off your shoulders at the beach, will be different again.
Read on to see what our rashies are made of and which styles will be best for your needs.

Chlorine Resistant Rashies
Chlorine resistant rash vests are among our most popular wet shirt styles. Made from 100% polyester, these pool proof rashies are perfect for long days swimming in public pools and heated spas.
The polyester fabric can withstand the damaging effects of harsh pool chemicals and heated water. Your chlorine resistant rash vest will maintain its shape, colour, and elasticity, even if you are in the pool every day. Follow our care guide for more details on how to keep your swim shirt looking like new.
Available in navy and black long sleeve styles, our chlorine resistant rash vests are a must for sun protection, warmth, and coverage in the pool.
If you prefer an all-in-one swimsuit, why not try a chlorine resistant long sleeve one piece from our Luxe Sport collection. These are ideal for swimming laps as they stay in place and don’t ride up.

Each season, Capriosca Swimwear releases new prints and styles to keep your swim wardrobes up to date and full of beautiful new pieces for you to enjoy.
We make sure to include our rash vest styles in many of our new print collections with short and long sleeve options available to layer over your swimwear.
These rashies are made from a Spandex and Nylon blend which feels beautiful to wear, and when cared for correctly, will look like new for longer. Colours and prints appear clear and bright on this soft and stretchy swim fabric.
The Nylon/Spandex fabric hugs the body without feeling tight and feels cool to wear in hot weather. When laundered correctly the fabric maintains its elasticity, keeping your rash vest in its original shape and fitting you perfectly time after time.
