Stay comfortable and rash-free in our Premium Quality POD Rash Guard with ripstop wear resistant elbow pads, full-length padding from your elbow-joint to the wristband.
Whether you wear it to surf, bodyboard, bodysurf or ocean swimming you’ll enjoy all the extra features we’ve built in and new sizes for you.
POD Premium Rash Vests are made of heavyweight soft Lycra with elbow rip-resilient nylon/neoprene pattern fabric to ensure traction and hard-wearing durability.
Along with the cushioned 2mm padded elbow pads, the waistline features a rubber seal waist strip and board short anchor loop, a 10mm webbing tie that will keep the rashie from riding up your body.
Our Premium Rashies is an incredible value in the surfing apparel with a great fit and soft feel to go along with it.
It's a lightweight marvel, a well designed rashguard with sneaky labeling (it would have taken careful lighting to get the words and logo to show up so well) and important extras: the neatly sewn 2 cm rubber strip around the waist with a slightly more robust than usual boardshort connector. Plus the thin board-gripping pad material on the forearms. On the inside, it feels the same as the regular fabric, and the pad is flexible. Useful.
Rashguards have mostly become fairly standard, the main issue being whether they have an anchor loop to help keep the rashie down/shorts up. The POD's fabric is somewhat heavier than some (perhaps a white version for hot weather might be nice). Plenty stretchy. The rubber waist strip is something I've seen only on a few Hurley rash guards. It's useful. The elbow to wrist pad looks and feels, on the outside, like the knee pads of a quality surfing wet suit. It's definitely backed by thin, soft neoprene. I'm not aware of anything quite like it on the market. I'm anticipating a bit of improvement in board control and comfort.
