What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“This thing has saved my skin—literally. I wear it on long days paddleboarding or hiking along the coast. It’s lightweight, dries fast, and that foam visor on the hood is a game-changer when you don’t want to squint all day. It’s my favorite sun shirt for anything near the water.”When the sun is high and the adventure is long, we gear up with the Rip Curl Search UPF 50 Long-Sleeve Hooded Rashguard. Designed with the waterman in mind, this hoodie-style rash guard gives us lightweight coverage without compromising performance. It’s made from stretch recycled poly double knit for a breathable, quick-drying fit that moves naturally with our bodies—whether we’re paddling through calm waters, casting lines, or trekking coastal trails. A full suite of features boosts its functionality, including a foam visor to shield our eyes, a shock cord hem for customizable fit, and an elastic boardshort loop for staying secure during movement. Best of all, the UPF 50+ sun protection keeps us shielded from harmful rays so we can focus on chasing the horizon, not shade. Built responsibly and ready for anything—this is the essential sun hoodie for The Search.
