Product Information

The Waterproof R30 Short Sleeve Mens Rash Guard is a lycra and spandex water wear top built for sun and abrasion protection, offering 50+ UPF UV protection, flatlock stitching and a ten panel construction that is designed to increase mobility wet or dry. It can be worn as a stand-alone garment or as a baselayer under a wetsuit.

Who it is for

This is a men's fit short sleeve rash guard for divers, snorkelers and swimmers who spend long days in warm water and in the sun. Wear it on its own for surface swims, snorkeling and boat time, or slide it under a wetsuit as a baselayer to reduce abrasion from neoprene. The name reflects its job: the shirt protects the wearer against rashes caused by abrasion.

Key details

Sun protection: 50+ UPF ultraviolet protection factor
Seams: flatlock stitching with bonded hi-quality nylon thread
Cut: ten panel construction instead of conventional four panel tee shirt construction, for increased mobility
Sleeve: short sleeve, men's fit (the R30 model is also offered in long sleeve)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Waterproof R30 rash guard be worn under a wetsuit?

Yes. Waterproof states the R30 Rashguard can be worn as a stand-alone garment or as a baselayer under a wetsuit.

How much sun protection does the R30 rash guard provide?

The Waterproof R30 Rashguard is rated 50+ UPF, or Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which is the measure used for fabric sun protection. That makes it useful for long surface intervals, snorkeling, boat days and shore time in strong sun. Keep in mind that UPF applies only to the skin the garment actually covers, so exposed arms and neck still need sunscreen.

What sizes does this men's short sleeve version come in?

This listing covers the men's short sleeve R30 in S (Small), M (Medium) and L (Large). This listing covers the men's short sleeve R30 in S (Small), M (Medium) and L (Large); it can be worn alone or under a wetsuit. If you are between sizes or layering over another top, call DiveCatalog at 888-701-4017 and we will talk it through.

What is ten panel construction and why does it matter?

Ten panel construction means the shirt is built from ten fabric panels instead of the conventional four panel tee shirt pattern. Waterproof states the ten panel construction gives increased mobility, wet or dry, compared with conventional four panel tee shirt construction. Waterproof states the ten panel construction gives the wearer increased mobility, wet or dry, compared with conventional four panel tee shirt construction.

Excellent wetsuit but will it crush quickly like other wetsuits?

I purchased a BARE 5mm Reactive wetsuit (open box), which was like new, to replace my 1.5 yr old BARE 5mm Velocity wetsuit which had collapsed to only 2.5mm after 3 diving trips (~100 dives). The Reactive wetsuit is well constructed and very flexible. I had to increase the size of the Reactive suit, as it was smaller than the BARE Velocity suit of the same size. Tremendous customer service by Dive Catalog to exchange the wetsuit for proper size. I hope the Reactive suit does not crush so quickly like my other wetsuits (BARE, Henderson, Pinnacle). Hoping that the new technology in this suit will keep me warm below the thermocline.

Perfectly Built

Best of the many many diver hangers in my life. Easily supports my steel-plated BCD, while still donned with all of my accessories. No cracks, bends, or dents. Has even supported my BCD w/ a steel 100 tank attached (not recommended, for safety purposes, though).

Will continue to use this hanger for the long-term. No brainer.

Go-to Dive Hanger

This is a must-have for every diver. It's the quintessential hanger for all dive gear in one small package.

DiveCatalog's "Quick Dry Multi Accessory Dive Gear Hanger for Boots, Gloves, Hood" is set at a great price for a great product. Versatile enough that I've purchased extra hangers to organize my BMX racing gear.

Must-have for divers and anyone looking to organize their adventurous outdoor activities equipment.

Solid Hanger w/ Tons of Options

Does it's job and then some. The added accessory arms gives you options for a multitude of storage solutions. Solid build, solid pricing, must have for owns of dive gear.
