Premium Long-Sleeve Rash Guard – Wear-Resistant Padded Elbows
POD Long Sleeve Rash Guard - Wear-Resistant Elbow Pads and Anchor Loop
The POD Long Sleeve Rash Guard uses UPF 50+ high-performance Lycra with a heavyweight flatlock construction and a nylon-neoprene pattern fabric that sits comfortably against the skin across longer sessions. Two features set it apart from a standard rash guard - 3mm wear-resistant ripstop panels from elbow to wrist, and a non-slip rubber waistband with a 10mm board short anchor loop.
The elbow pads reduce abrasion from board contact during prone bodyboarding and bodysurfing, protecting both the skin and the garment across regular use. The waistband and anchor loop keep the rash guard in position through movement in the water without requiring adjustment between sets.
