O'Neill Basic Skins

The O’Neill Basic Skin Sun Shirts boast O’Neill’s world-renowned quality. The Lycra fabric, which offers UV protection of 50+, is water-repellent and made from a very lightweight material. UV protection is a particularly important topic in summer, but UV radiation on the water should not be underestimated at other times of the year either. Frequent exposure to the sun is the cause of various forms of skin damage, including premature ageing and even skin cancer. O’Neill UV shirts absorb and block the majority of the sun’s rays. O’Neill UV products feature elastic threads that are flexible enough to pull the fibres together extremely tightly, thereby effectively minimising harmful sun exposure. This second layer of protection not only shields you from the sun, but also prevents rashes caused by surfboards and keeps you warm in cooler conditions.
