Sharkskin Rapid Dry Short Sleeve (Unisex)

The Sharkskin Rapid Dry Short Sleeve is a loose cut technical T-shirt for the boat deck and casual days around the water. Divers tend to grab it for surface intervals and the ride out to the site, while paddlers and sailors wear it right in the water. It looks like a regular tee and doesn't cling to your body when wet.

About the Rapid Dry Fabric

Rapid Dry is light and breathable, yet it is warmer and more insulating than cotton or nylon and Lycra blends, wet or dry. The water repellent (DWR) treatment is infused into the fabric and then heat set, so it sheds water better and lasts longer than a surface coating. You can also layer it over other Sharkskin tops when you want more warmth and sun cover.

• 3-D rib knit construction that holds warmth
• 4-way stretch for full range of movement
• Resists breakdown from UV, saltwater and chlorine
• Non-chafing seams and odor resistance for long days
• UPF50+ sun protection with hi-vis, non-fading color options

Fit and Sizing

This unisex tee comes in XXS to 5XL in Black, Lime Green or Orange. In your regular shirt size it fits somewhere between form fitting and slightly loose. Size up if you want a relaxed T-shirt feel, or size down for a snug fit closer to a lycra rash shirt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I size up or down in Sharkskin Rapid Dry?

Choose your regular shirt size for a form fitting to slightly loose fit. Go one size up for a loose T-shirt style, or one size down for a snug, rash guard style fit.

Is Rapid Dry warmer than a cotton T-shirt?

Yes. Sharkskin rates Rapid Dry as warmer and more insulating than cotton and synthetic Lycra blends, both wet and dry.
