FACTORY SECONDS are brand new and come with full SHARKSKIN factory warranty. At Sharkskin we have very high standards when it comes to our finished products and our QC Team occasionally rejects finished products due to small production errors or imperfections. As a result we accumulate factory seconds which are new products with minor imperfections or cosmetic issues such as stitching or logo imperfections.

Factory Seconds are identified with a small green stitch inside the garment that identifies them as having been sold as a Factory Second and our warranty excludes the cosmetic imperfections that makes them a factory second.

Rapid Dry longsleeve with collar features a new collar design for maximum sun protection when on the water without compromising its in water functionality. Cut in a stylish loose T-shirt design making it comfortable for in and on the water as well as for everyday casual use around the water.

Rapid Dry does not ‘cling’ to your body and impede movement like other watersports garments do. Rapid Dry looks great when worn wet or dry.

Unisex, 4-way stretch design for a wide range of fits from XXS to 5XL.

About Rapid Dry

Sharkskin Rapid Dry is a lightweight, breathable, fast drying fabric which is warmer and more insulative than cotton and nylon / lycra / spandex synthetic fabrics both when wet and when dry.

The stylish loose fit T-shirt design is super comfortable when worn by itself for all watersports but can also be worn layered over other Sharkskin tops for extra insulation and sun protection when needed.

Rapid Dry is ideal for paddle watersports, board watersports, sailing and many other watersports including white water rafting, multisport and adventure sports.

Rapid Dry Features

• Rapid Dry is ‘infused’ and then ‘heat set’ with a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment. This method is more effective at shedding water and lasts much longer than traditional treatments.
• 3-D ‘rib-knit’ fabric construction for superior insulation properties.
• Durable fabric resists deterioration in UV, saltwater and chlorine so the garment will last longer.
• 4-way stretch ensures garments are non-restrictive allowing a full range of movement.
• Breathable fabric to allow body temperature regulation.
• Non-chaffing seams for comfort during active watersports.
• Odour resistant properties so the garment can be worn for long periods of time.
• Hi-vis and non-fading colours available for safety on the water.
• UPF50+ for sun protection.

Sizing Guide

Rapid Dry is a Unisex fit - please refer to the Mens & Rapid Dry size chart for Rapid Dry sizing.

Rapid Dry can be sized a number of ways to suit your preference or type of use. If you choose your regular shirt size, Rapid Dry will be form fitting to slightly loose fit.

If you prefer a loose fit similar to a loose fitting T-shirt then we recommend you chose a size up from your regular shirt size.

If you would prefer a body fitting or snug fit (like a fitted lycra rash shirt for example) then we would recommend that you select a size down from your regular shirt size. 

For details see our size chart.
