A Sustainable Story
These rash vests have a unique backstory! O’Neill generously donated them to the Final Straw Foundation to co-brand due to a discolouration on the logo (see photos – however please note the discolouration varies) which meant they could not be sold through their retail partners. The shirt performance and UV protection remain flawless and the discolouration (orange/mottled hue on some logos) is only really noticeable close up. We are incredibly grateful to O’Neill for their support and their donation!
Available in long sleeved or short sleeved options.
By purchasing one of these rash vests, you’re not just protecting your skin; you’re supporting the fight against plastic pollution and improving water quality in our oceans. Every penny goes towards the Final Straw Foundation’s ongoing efforts to protect our seas and beaches. Grab one for yourself, your family, or a friend, and make a difference today!

Washing guide:
Steps to keep your sun shirt looking good for longer and minimise the shedding of microplastics!
- Rinse it immediately with fresh water after use to remove salt, chlorine, and debris.
- When washing, hand washing is best. Turn it inside out and use cold water with a mild detergent to prevent fabric damage.
- If you use a washing machine, ensure you use a cold wash, and put the item in a mesh bag (e.g. a guppy friend bag or similar) or other method of capturing microplastic fibres to stop them entering wastewater.
- Avoid hot water, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can break down the material and reduce its effectiveness.
- Always air dry your rash guard in the shade rather than using a tumble dryer, which can weaken the fibres and contribute to microplastic pollution, and can also impact the designs (logos) on the fabric.
Following these steps will help maintain its durability and performance while being more environmentally friendly.
