A good lycra for men is not an unnecessary luxury during kitesurfing, it's an essential part of your gear. Whether you're heading out on the water on a sunny day or want to make your session more comfortable, a lycra offers exactly what you need. At Kitemana you'll find a wide range of men's lycras that protect you, support you and give your surfing experience a major upgrade. During kitesurfing you're exposed to sun, wind and friction from your harness for extended periods. A kitesurf lycra prevents skin irritation and provides reliable UV protection with UPF 50+, so you can focus on your session without worrying about sunburn or chafing. Additionally, the breathable, quick-drying material feels comfortable on the skin and ensures maximum freedom of movement, whether you wear it loose or under your wetsuit. A men's lycra is also ideal during summer sessions when you don't need a full wetsuit, but still want to wear something that's functional and comfortable. The fit is tailored to male kitesurfers and ensures that your harness stays in place properly without shifting. Do you kitesurf passionately and want to get the maximum out of your gear?

A lycra for men is much more than just a tight shirt for kitesurfing. Behind every piece of lycra lies smart technology that's specifically developed to make your session more comfortable, safer and more durable. At Kitemana you'll find men's lycras that are designed so you can get the maximum out of your time on the water without distraction. Most kitesurf lycras for men are made from a technical blend of polyester and elastane. This material provides a perfect balance between stretch and durability. Your lycra fits snugly to your body without being restrictive, and moves effortlessly with you, ideal when making quick turns or high jumps. Additionally, our men's lycras offer high UV protection (UPF 50+), which is essential when you're on the water for extended periods. The fabric blocks harmful UV radiation, even at tropical spots or during long summer sessions. This way you surf longer and safer, without your skin being unnecessarily stressed. Another technical advantage is the quick-drying properties of the material. Thanks to the breathable structure, the lycra wicks away moisture quickly, preventing you from getting cold from wet clothing and keeping your skin dry. This also prevents chafing, especially under your harness, an important benefit for passionate kiters. Some lycras are also equipped with flatlock seams or glued seams, which further minimizes friction and irritation.

During kitesurfing you regularly see terms like rashvest, rashguard and quickdry. They seem similar, but there are definitely differences. Below we'll explain exactly what each item does and when you choose which one. A rashvest and a rashguard are actually the same thing: they are lycra shirts that you wear during kiting to protect your skin against chafing (rash), sun and your harness. The material is stretchy, fits closely to your body and often offers UV protection (UPF 50+). Rashvest is more of a European term, while rashguard is used more commonly in English or in surf culture. Functionally they are the same: both are worn tight against the skin for maximum protection. A quickdry shirt looks similar at first glance, but has a looser fit. These shirts are made from quick-drying material that sits comfortably before or after your session, or during a relaxed summer day at the beach. They often also offer UV protection, but are less suitable for wearing under your harness because they fit looser and can therefore ride up or chafe. In short: are you going on the water with a harness? Then choose a rashguard or rashvest. Looking for something for before or after your session, or a breezy shirt with UV protection? Then a quickdry is the right choice. All three are perfect to combine with your kitesurf gear, but it depends on when you use it which one fits best. Order your ideal lycra or quickdry easily online or visit our megastore in Noordwijk. Need help with your choice? Our team is ready to help you.
