Talk:Rash guard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The difference between rash guards and swim shirts is not very clear. The article says rash guards are tighter than swim shirts. Are they also made of tougher material (to survive use while surfing)? Do they weigh more and are they a little warmer as a result? 220.255.1.59 (talk) 05:55, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- Is there actually a difference other than the name? · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 10:00, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Proposal to make "Swim shirts" its own page
I believe that swim shirts are different enough swimsuits to have a separate page instead of merely being a part of the "Rash guard" article. Thoughts? Starbright Meteorite (talk) 23:55, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hey @Starbright Meteorite, could you provide adequate sourcing that
- "Rash guard" meets WP:GNG
- "Swim shirt" meets WP:GNG
- Reliable sourcing that they are separate things?
- If you can provide all this, I see no reason not to split it. IAWW (talk) 21:35, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- Agree with the conditions stated by IAWW above, but it is likely that this article already has sufficient sourcing to show that Rash Guard is notable. Showing that they are distinct classes of equipment may be the tricky bit. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 15:59, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
