Here is a problem for the more southern surf riders. I can't find a rash vest that actually works. My God my underarms are killing me after a long session paddling. Talk about putting deodorant on the next morning (and women complain about waxing).
Are there any rashies that really work?

As silly as this sounds, is the rash shirt tight enough? Some people buy lose fitting rash shirts think that they will do the job of protection, when in actual fact the idea of a rash shirt is that it should be body hugging to prevent from chaffing/rash. Otherwise I agree with TheGoodDr make sure you wash it out after use or make sure you don't have an alergic reaction to the materials that are used

Get rid of the rash vest,The rash vest is giving you a rash mmhh

i never wear a rash vest under a wetsuit with the high quality of wetties out there you shouldnt have any need for a rash vest underneath

Thanks heaps for the feedback. For years I've just always worn a rashie I suppose from habit. I'll take the advise of ditching it, see how it goes.
This is what makes this site great.
Thanks again

I get this problem about once a year. I put it down to having lot's of underarm hair and it pulling on the wetsuit.

I usually clipper my underarm hair short and find that really helps out. Plus, when your wearing a tight t-shirt, it doesn't look as though your smuggling spiders under your arms anymore.

lent my good wetsuit to my son, he must have got out of the wettie on some thistle grass as now its all prickly when worn, thought about giving him a beating but at 6ft 4 in, somehow that won't do me any good. any advice on what to do about the wetsuit?
