How Should a C-Skins Rash Vest Fit?

A C-Skins rash vest should fit close to the body without feeling restrictive. A snug fit helps prevent the fabric from riding up in the water and reduces rubbing when paddling or swimming. It should feel comfortable across the chest and shoulders, with enough stretch to allow full movement.

How to Measure for a C-Skins Rash Vest

  • Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest.
  • Waist: Measure around your natural waistline.
  • Height: Helps determine overall fit and body length.

What If I’m Between Sizes?

If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size for a closer fit that stays in place during activity. If you prefer a more relaxed fit for general beach use or swimming, you may prefer the larger size.

Signs Your Rash Vest Is the Wrong Size

  • Too big: loose fit, fabric riding up, reduced comfort in the water.
  • Too small: tight across the chest or shoulders, restricted movement.
  • Good fit: close to the body, comfortable stretch and stays in place during use.
