Palm Equipment Rash Guard – First Look

For me one of the best bits of kit to own for summer paddling has to be a rash guard. I have owned a few over the years and they form an important part of my gear line up. Rash guards can be worn on their own as an outer layer to ward off sun burn (UPF 50+ sun protection in this case) or worn as part of a layering system under a short sleeve dry top if it isn’t that warm.

Most of the rash guards available out there are from the world of surfing. There are a number of manufacturers from the paddling world who are producing rash guards with paddle sports in mind. The one shown here is from UK based company Palm Equipment.

PeakUK Thermal Rashie – Review

I’ve had my PeakUK thermal rashie for 3 years now and use it for everything. It is the ultimate thermal. I use it on it’s own under a BA when it’s hot or as a base layer when whitewater paddling. Brilliantly comfortable, fantastic cut and comfortable around the neck. It is quite long in the body for me (I’m quite short) but I find this ideal as it means I can pull it down over my bum and sit on it, meaning you don’t get that annoying bunching of layers around your waist and backband area.
