Rashguards & UV Tops for women
ION lycras, wetshirts, and thermo tops are designed for waterwomen who love to spend hours in the sun and push progression on the water. These tops offer high UV protection, extra shelter against wind, and abrasion resistance – perfect for warm sessions or as a stylish layer over your bikini. Whether you’re kiting, surfing, or foiling, find your look and stay out there longer.
UV-Protection for women: Rashguards, Wetshirts & Thermo Tops
Not all UV tops are the same – and that’s a good thing. At ION, we’ve got different styles to match your session and your needs:
RASHGUARDS
The classic choice for UV protection on the water. Tight-fitting and flexible, rashguards keep you covered and comfortable while riding. Depending on the color, they offer up to UPF 50+ sun protection (darker colors = more protection). All ION rashguards come with a Slip_Loop so you can tie them to your boardshorts – no riding up, no distractions.
WETSHIRTS
A little more relaxed than rashguards, wetshirts are made for versatility. Wear them on or off the water for a casual look with UV protection up to UPF 50+. The fit is regular, not skin-tight, so they’re perfect for riders who want comfort without losing performance.
THERMO TOPS
When you need a bit more warmth, thermal lycras are the answer. Think of them as the middle ground between a rashguard and a neoprene top. Made with thicker, quick-drying fabric and a soft inside, they can be worn on their own or as a thin extra layer under your wetsuit. Ideal for cooler days or long sessions.
CUT-RESISTANT RASHGUARDS
For riders who push limits in reef breaks or shallow spots, the Surf Shield series offers rashguards and wetshirts with cut-resistant fabric. They help protect against reef scrapes, fin cuts, and other hazards – so you can ride & bail with peace of mind.
