The Billabong Arch Wave 50+ UPF Short Sleeve Rash Vest is an essential piece of gear for surfers and water sports enthusiasts who require reliable sun protection and lasting comfort. Featuring a loose-fit silhouette and signature silk-touch polyester fabric, this garment blocks harmful UV rays while allowing for an unrestricted range of motion. While the loose fit provides a relaxed aesthetic compared to traditional compression-style rash guards, it may feel less streamlined during high-intensity competitive surfing.

No, the Billabong Arch Wave features a loose-fit design, offering a more relaxed and comfortable feel than traditional compression rash guards.
Yes, it features a 50+ UPF rating, which is specifically designed to block harmful UV rays while swimming or surfing.
Absolutely. It acts as an excellent base layer to prevent chafing and add a thin layer of insulation.
Hand wash with cold water and mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.
Yes, the vest uses a high-performance stretch construction to ensure you have a full range of motion while paddling.
This is normal for polyester; ensure you are rinsing thoroughly with cold water to maintain fiber elasticity.
Turn the garment inside out and shake vigorously; rinse with fresh water to dislodge remaining particles.
To ensure your rash vest maintains its integrity and UPF rating, proper care is essential. Always rinse the vest in fresh, cool water immediately after use to remove saltwater, sand, or chlorine. Hang it to dry in a shaded area, avoiding direct sunlight, which can degrade the elastic properties of the fabric over time. Do not iron or dry clean this garment. For storage, fold the vest neatly to prevent stretching the neck area. This vest is highly compatible with most standard board shorts and can be layered under a thicker wetsuit as a base layer for extra warmth and to prevent wetsuit-induced chafing.
