Teenage Boys' Rash Vests
A teenage boy rash vest is a close-fitting stretch top to wear in the sea or the pool. MINOTI rash vests for boys aged 8 to 15 suit school swimming, holiday beaches, bodyboarding and surf lessons. A rash vest covers the shoulders and arms, which are among the first places to catch the sun, and stops a board or wetsuit rubbing his skin. Pair it with swim shorts from Swimwear.
A rash vest should sit close to the body so it does not balloon or drag in the water. A boys' rash vest for age 9 is usually 140 cm, and a boys' rash vest for age 10 is usually 146 cm. If he is between sizes and still growing fast, go up one, since a vest that is too tight is hard to pull on wet. Rinse it in cool fresh water after the sea or a chlorinated pool and dry it out of direct sun.
Your questions answered
MINOTI's teenage boys' rash vests are close-fitting stretch tops for swimming and surfing, made for boys aged 8 to 15 in centimetre sizes, and a boys' rash vest for age 12 is usually 158 cm.
What size is a boys' rash vest for age 11?
Most 11-year-olds take 152 cm; go up one to 158 cm if he is tall for his age. Measure his height and compare it with the size on the product page. A rash vest should fit close without pulling across the shoulders.
Should my son wear a rash vest under his wetsuit?
Yes, it is one of the main reasons to have one. Worn under a wetsuit, a rash vest stops the neck and underarms chafing during a long surf lesson in sea water around 15°C, and it makes the wetsuit easier to pull on and peel off.
