<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Know about rash guards and their use</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">After a long summer day, don't toss your women's rash guard swimwear into the washing machine with your other garments and towels. When you're done wearing your swim shirt, hand washes it with a mild detergent to keep it in good shape. It won't dry with chemicals or sand in it this way. Don't forget to bring your rash guard on your next beach, hiking, or pool vacation. If you enjoy yours, you should purchase them for the entire family. There are many options for <strong><a href="https://www.beastlayer.com/collections/men-long-sleeve-workout-tops" rel="nofollow">long sleeve rash guard men</a></strong>, among which you can choose.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This summer, there is no easier way to protect yourself and your family from sunburn.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What is a women rash guard?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0528/5789/7139/products/0_755a61ec-adf3-4ec6-bf4a-34671373bff2.png?v=1632815880" alt="" width="400" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Rash ash guard began as skin protection activewear for surfers and has since evolved into general use. Apart from sharks, surfers had three main worries while in the water back in the day. They needed to do the following:</span></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">While paddling and resting flat.</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Prevent their skin from surfboard rash;</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Keep hazardous jellyfish from stinging;</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Avoid sunburn.</span></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Activewear designers were able to create functional tops that met the goals of skin irritation, stinging, and sunburn protection by employing knitted polyester or nylon fabric with four-way flexibility. The wicking and UPF ratings of rash guard tops have improved because of technological advancements in knitting. Wicking is a textile property that draws moisture from the skin and absorbs and dries it at the fabric surface.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Rashes are now constructed with a higher percentage of polyester or nylon and a lower percentage of elastane, often known as spandex. The amount of spandex knitted into the fabric provides the garment with its stretch. The spandex in a knit might vary, but it usually accounts for 10 to 20% of the total. The outcome is compression or close-fitting clothing. Even loose-fit or comfort-fit shirts have gained favor in recent years.</span></p>
