Men's Lycra Tops & Rashvests for Dinghy Sailing

Men's lycra tops and rashvests are the ideal first layer for every dinghy sailor: certified UPF 50+ sun protection, fast drying and total freedom of movement during gybes, tacks and hiking out. Wear them on their own on warm days or as a baselayer under a wetsuit and jacket when the temperature drops.

Available in short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions, they are made from stretch eco-spandex fabrics that eliminate chafing and follow the movement of torso and shoulders. Water-repellent models such as Zhik's XWR range improve thermal comfort by reducing the chilling effect of wind on wet fabric.

To choose the right top consider climate and use: short sleeves are perfect for summer racing on ILCA, 470, Finn and 49er, while long sleeves offer full UV protection and extra warmth. Sizes follow the close men's fit typical of technical racing apparel. Leading brands: Zhik, Vaikobi, GUL and Musto.
