What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "This hooded rashguard is a lifesaver on long surf and paddle sessions. The fit is true second skin-super comfortable, zero drag-and the hood protects my neck and ears without feeling restrictive. The recycled fabric dries fast, stretches well, and the flatlock seams keep it chafe-free even after hours in the sun. Total confidence layer for high-UV days." We pull on the O'Neill Hyperfreak Skins O'Zone Hooded Rashguard when our sun-soaked sessions require the highest level of protection and performance. Built with premium UPF 50+ recycled nylon/spandex, this top shields us from intense rays while delivering buttery-soft comfort and the kind of stretch that moves effortlessly through paddling, duck dives, and long days on the water. The ergonomic seam placement and flatlock stitching minimize irritation during extended sessions, while the performance fit sits snugly like a second skin-perfect for gliding through waves or layering under a wetsuit. The hood adds crucial coverage for our neck, ears, and head, and the boardshort connector keeps the top securely in place when we're pushing through sets or swimming through chop. Quick-drying and purpose-built, it's a powerhouse layer for surfers and paddlers who won't compromise on comfort or protection.
