Neoprene Knitted Knee-Length Surf Rash Guard

This long rash guard covers the torso to the knees and is made from a knitted nylon base fully sheathed in thin neoprene rubber, obscuring the fabric. It is designed for surf abrasion protection and thermal insulation. The complete rubber coating qualifies it as a diving suit under tariff item 6113.00.20, as it is not considered swimwear.
