Rip Curl Tank Tops

On the hottest days, the less between you and the air the better. Soft cotton, a clean cut and understated surf styling make these the tops that get worn straight through a heatwave, over a bikini on the beach or on their own in town when it is simply too warm for sleeves.

Rip Curl tank tops

A tank is the simplest top there is, which puts all the weight on the fabric and the cut getting it right.

Soft, breathable cotton

Natural cotton feels comfortable against warm skin and lets air move, which is the whole reason a cotton tank beats a synthetic one on a hot, still day when you are not working hard.

A clean cut that sits properly

Considered armholes and a straight, easy body mean the top hangs correctly rather than gaping at the sides, which is the single most common failing of a badly cut tank.

Layers over swimwear

Light enough to pull straight over a bikini or swimsuit on the way off the beach, and to dry quickly if it catches a bit of sea in the process.

Understated surf styling

Simple logo and graphic work keeps a tank versatile, so it moves from the beach into town without needing a second thought or a second top.

Frequently asked questions

How should a tank top fit?

Close enough that the armholes sit flat against your body without gaping, and loose enough through the body to hang rather than cling. If the armholes gape when you move, size down, since that is a fit issue rather than a style one.

Can I wear it over a bikini?

Yes, that is one of the most common ways they are worn. A light cotton tank pulls on easily over damp swimwear and dries quickly, giving you a bit of sun cover on the walk back from the water.

Does a cotton tank protect against the sun?

Only a little, and considerably less when wet. Cotton offers some physical coverage but no meaningful UPF rating. For a long day in strong sun, particularly in or on the water, a UPF rash vest is far more effective.

How do I stop it stretching out?

Wash cool, dry flat or on a hanger rather than tumbling on heat, and avoid hanging it by the straps while wet, which is what pulls a tank out of shape at the shoulders over time.
