The Ocean & Earth Rib Guard Padded Long Sleeve Vest combines the performance and sun protection of a regular rash vest with padded, lightweight neoprene foam panels. Designed to cushion the ribcage and prevent 'surfer knots', it features UPF 50+ UV protection, elastic soft filament thread with flat self-locking seams, and is made from a high-quality Nylon/Elastane blend. Additionally, it includes a boardshort anchor loop and can be worn under a wetsuit for added comfort.
