Choosing The Best Kids Rashies For Optimal Sun Protection

Kids rashies, or rashguards, are the ultimate summer essential for fun-filled family days in the sun. Whether you’re headed to the beach, pool or even the backyard for some water play, keeping your kids’ skin safe from the harsh Aussie sun is a top priority. 

At Best&Less, our kids active swimwear makes it easy – they’re not just protective but also super comfortable and made for all-day splashing and running around. With our wide range of kids clothes and accessories, you’re sure to find the right fit for your child no matter the activity you have in mind for the family. 

Here’s our guide on how to choose kids rashies: 

Choose rashies designed for maximum coverage.

Long sleeves

Long-sleeved kids rashies effectively shield your child’s arms from harmful sun exposure. This protection is crucial during prolonged outings, such as spending the entire day at the beach or pool, where the sun’s rays are relentless. Long-sleeve rashies offer an extra layer of defence, minimising the risk of sunburn, which can lead to both short-term discomfort and long-term skin damage. 

High necklines

High necklines significantly cover the chest and neck, areas often prone to sun damage. These parts are particularly sensitive and can easily burn, even with sunscreen reapplication. A higher neckline on your kid or baby swimwear acts as a barrier, ensuring these vulnerable areas receive ample protection without constant attention or worry from you. 

Not only does this added feature reduce the need for reapplying sunscreen in these spots, but it also provides a consistent coverage that withstands hours of play and splashing around on sunny days.

Prioritise comfort and fit for active kids.

Stretch and flexibility

Just like choosing school leggings and shirts, picking the right materials for your child’s rashie is key to keeping them comfortable. 

Elastane is an excellent choice as it provides the necessary stretch and flexibility for active kids who love to play, swim and run around. It ensures their kids rashies move with them rather than against them, allowing for a wider range of motion without feeling tight or restrictive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What UV protection ratings should I look for in a rashie?

The Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) is a measure of how well the fabric shields against UV radiation. Experts recommend clothing with a UPF rating of 50 and above, as it can offer sun protection throughout the day, even for people with fairer skin. 

Fortunately, here at Best&Less, you’ll find that our rash vest and rash shirt options come with a UPF rating of 50 or 50+. This rating signifies that the rashie blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays, safeguarding your child’s skin from sun damage during outdoor activities.

What features should I look for in a high-quality rashie?

When choosing a high-quality rashie, focus on specific features that enhance durability and comfort. Breathable materials ensure adequate airflow, providing a durable, comfortable rashie perfect for active play.

When you shop at Best&Less, you’re guaranteed the quality you deserve. Even when browsing our accessories, like kids hats, you can expect the same high standard.

How can I ensure my child stays comfortable in a rashie all day?

While it varies from one person to another, some kids may find short sleeved rashies more comfortable than long sleeve options. In these cases, just remember to reapply SPF every couple hours, especially on the arms.

If your child doesn’t like snug clothing, you can opt to get a rash vest that’s one size larger, so they’re more comfortable. It’s the same thing when shopping for other beach essentials like girls shorts – your child’s comfort is just as important.
