Groms don’t go easy on gear. If you want tees, hoodies and UPF rash vests that survive sun, sand and school holidays, start here — then dive into our full range in Kids Surf Clothing.

Fabrics & weights that take a beating

• Tees: Heavier cotton (200gsm+) or cotton-poly blends keep shape better after repeat washes.
• Hoodies: Brushed fleece for warmth, rib cuffs that bounce back, reinforced seams.
• UPF rash vests: Look for clearly listed UPF ratings and flatlock seams to prevent chafe.

Sun safety that actually gets worn

Pair kids’ UPF rash vests with brimmed hats and zinc. Long-sleeve options are best for peak UV hours; short sleeve is great for swim lessons and play.

Size up or true to size?

Most brands run true to age. If you’re torn between sizes, go one up — they grow fast and you’ll get a longer run out of it.

Top grom picks

• Everyday logo tee that can take schoolyard scuffs and arvo skates.
• UPF long-sleeve rashie for beach days and swim squad.
• All-conditions hoodie for pre-dawn comps and winter swells.
