Size Guide for Sea Strides (waist size) :

One of our most popular accessories for anyone playing in the water is our long sleeve neoprene rash vest. These are made from a specially formulated neoprene thermal watersport material mix which is 90% neoprene and a 10 % mix of nylon / lycra / thermal jersey. This gives warmth, stretch, flex and durability. Popular with Guys and Gals too.

They are quick drying and super stretchy making them proper warm and very comfortable to wear. You can wear one of our long sleeve neo rashies on it’s own in warmer waters or add a layer under your wetsuit if you feel the cold and it’ll keep you really warm. They are great for extending the season of your summer suit, turning it from 3mm core to a 4.5mm core and the arms from 2mm up to 3.5mm. Ideal if you don’t want to surf through the winter but feel the cold.

They are equally useful for surface sports, like surfing, water-skiing and body boarding and also great when you are out on your SUP board if you don’t want to wear a full wetsuit but you are feeling the chill. They completely wind blocking being mainly neoprene. This item is also very popular with OCR / MUD RUN / TOUGH MUDDER event entrants too as they are far, far warm than a standard thermal under amour type top.
