Description
The Xcel Men's Premium Stretch Performance Fit Hooded Rash Guard combines long-sleeve sun protection with an integrated hood for added head and neck coverage. Designed for surfing, paddleboarding, swimming, and other water activities, this lightweight UV top features a close-fitting design that moves with your body.
Made from premium 6-ounce fabric with four-way stretch, the rash guard provides flexibility through the shoulders, arms, and torso. Its snug performance fit creates a streamlined feel while paddling, and Xcel's quick-drying Wet/Dry construction makes it practical both in and out of the water.
UPF 50+ sun protection helps block more than 98% of UVA and UVB radiation through the covered fabric. The attached hood includes a sturdy brim for additional coverage around the head and forehead, making it especially useful during sunny surf sessions.

Xcel Premium Stretch Hooded Rash Guard for Surfing and Sun Protection
The Xcel Premium Stretch Performance Fit Hooded Rash Guard offers lightweight sun coverage for surfers who want more protection than a standard long-sleeve UV shirt. With an attached hood, fitted sleeves, and flexible fabric, it is designed for active movement in and around the water.
Unlike a neoprene wetsuit jacket, this fabric rash guard is intended primarily for UV protection and comfort, not cold-water insulation.
Why Choose a Hooded Surf Rash Guard?
A traditional long-sleeve rash guard covers the arms and torso but leaves the head and much of the neck exposed. Xcel's hooded design extends fabric coverage around these areas, while the sturdy brim provides additional coverage near the forehead.
This makes the hoodie a useful option for surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and other activities where prolonged sun exposure is a concern.
UPF 50+ Protection and Four-Way Stretch
The Premium Stretch fabric is rated UPF 50+, helping block over 98% of UVA and UVB radiation through the material. Its premium 6-ounce construction stretches in four directions, allowing movement through the shoulders and arms.
The close-fitting performance design sits against the body rather than hanging loosely like a T-shirt. This can be particularly useful for surfers who prefer a streamlined fit when paddling and swimming.
Hooded vs. Non-Hooded Rash Guards
Both hooded and non-hooded UV tops provide lightweight sun coverage, but they offer different levels of protection around the head and neckline.
For surfers who prefer an open neckline without an attached hood, compare the Xcel Premium Stretch Long Sleeve Performance Fit UV Top. It offers a similar snug-fitting construction with long sleeves and four-way stretch fabric.
Heather Cascade Blue vs. Heather Grey
This version features Xcel's Heather Cascade Blue colorway with a subtle heathered appearance and Xcel branding across the chest.
For another color option, explore the Xcel Premium Stretch Hooded Rash Guard in Heather Grey. Both colors belong to the MLC406H5 product family and share the same basic performance features.
Complete Your Surf Sun Protection Setup
UPF clothing protects the skin covered by the fabric, but exposed areas still need appropriate protection. For additional coverage, explore Seaside's selection of surf sunscreen and sun protection products for the face, hands, and other uncovered areas.

Choosing the Right Performance Fit
Xcel's performance fit is designed to sit close against the body. The fabric should feel snug without restricting movement through the shoulders and arms.
Customers who prefer a looser, casual T-shirt-style fit may find a relaxed-fit UV shirt more comfortable. Review the available sizes and Xcel's sizing guidance before ordering.
