OCEAN & EARTH Rib Guard Padded Long Sleeve Thermal T-Shirt
Elevate your surfing experience and say goodbye to rib cage discomfort with the revolutionary OCEAN & EARTH Rib Guard Padded Long Sleeve Thermal T-Shirt. Designed for surfers who demand performance, protection, and comfort, this innovative top allows you to extend your sessions and focus on the waves, not the pain. It’s the ultimate fusion of a high-performance rash guard and strategic body protection, engineered to keep you in the water longer.
The Rib Guard Padded Long Sleeve T-Shirt has the performance and sun protection of a regular rash vest with padded, lightweight neoprene foam panels. These strategically placed panels are the core of its design, engineered to help cushion the ribcage and prevent the painful pressure points known as ´Surfer Knots´ that develop from prolonged paddling on your board. Now you can paddle harder and surf longer without the tender ribs that can cut a great day short.
Beyond its unique protective padding, this top delivers exceptional defence against the elements. With a certified UPF 50+ UV rating, it acts as a powerful shield against the sun´s harmful rays, protecting your skin during long hours of exposure. The high-quality construction ensures a second-skin feel, offering the flexibility and freedom of movement you need to perform at your best. Whether you´re dropping into a steep face or paddling out through the break, this shirt moves with you, not against you.
Engineered for durability and comfort, every detail is crafted with the surfer in mind. It´s the perfect standalone piece for warm water sessions or an essential base layer, providing extra padding and thermal insulation when worn under a wetsuit in cooler temperatures.
