Bought this for long days at the beach and in the water and am glad I did. Quickest way to ruin a stay at the beach is to get sunburn. This rash guard helps makes sure that doesn ’ t happen.

these shirts are fantastic specifically the Heathered versions, I had to look all over the Internet to find the colors I wanted, but I was able to get longsleeve University Red, long sleeve game royal and electric algae to go with my long sleeve dark blue and I bought four more short sleeves in the similar colors except I got a gray in place of the electric algae which is also a great color but I could n't find it in a short sleeve. I 'm not sure why these are so hard to get anymore and they 're sold out when they 're so popular. At least I think they 're popular. This is the coolest shirt I 've ever owned. That's why I bought so many of them and scoured the Internet to find them, Nike keep making these and the multiple colors are great. Can you do a mango heathered? anyway, these shirts are great because they 're real light and they act almost like a windbreaker in the breeze, you do n't feel it so much plus the material is fantastic. I use the short sleeves in the daytime and the long sleeves when it's either cold in the morning or in the evening when I 'm out walking, great shirts, make more please. lol

5 Steve C
This rashguard was purchased for my daughter as she prepares for beach weather. She has previously purchased clothing from the Calia brand and has generally liked the items she has purchased. Cost has been a factor previously or else she would have likely purchased even more from this brand. She was not disappointed with this rashguard as she feels it is comfortable. The rashguard is cropped, however, which may an issue as well as having a very slight opening in the back. She is excited to use this at the beach though as it fits well and should do what is expected in protecting her from the sun and sea.

5 LarryLA
Very nice rash guard. Color is elegant pure black. Great fit, just the right elastic, and washes up perfectly. I washed it before wearing it. This is absolute must for this summer at the pool. I love it that I do not need to apply myself with sticky sunscreens. Nothing negative to say. I love it.

Frequently Asked Questions For Sun Protection Rash Guards

A sun protection rash guard is a type of swimwear designed to provide coverage and protect the skin from harmful UV rays. Typically made from lightweight, quick-drying materials, these garments often feature UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings that indicate their effectiveness in blocking UV radiation. They are ideal for outdoor activities such as swimming, surfing, or beach sports, where prolonged sun exposure is common.

Wearing a sun protection rash guard offers several benefits, including protection from sunburn and skin damage caused by UV rays. These garments also provide a layer of insulation in cooler water, helping to maintain body temperature. Additionally, rash guards can prevent chafing and irritation during water sports, making them a practical choice for active individuals.

Yes, sun protection rash guards are available for all ages, from infants to adults. Many brands offer a variety of styles and sizes to accommodate different body types and preferences. This makes them a versatile option for families looking to enjoy outdoor activities while ensuring everyone is protected from the sun.

When selecting a sun protection rash guard, consider factors such as the UPF rating, fit, and material. A higher UPF rating offers better protection, while a snug fit ensures the garment stays in place during activities. Additionally, look for moisture-wicking and quick-drying materials for comfort, especially if you plan to be active in the water.

Absolutely! Sun protection rash guards are versatile and can be worn for a variety of outdoor activities beyond swimming, such as surfing, paddleboarding, hiking, or beach volleyball. Their lightweight and breathable fabric makes them suitable for any situation where sun exposure is a concern, providing comfort and protection.

To maintain the effectiveness of your sun protection rash guard, it's important to follow proper care instructions. Generally, it is recommended to rinse the garment with fresh water after use to remove salt or chlorine, and to avoid using fabric softeners, which can affect the material's performance. Washing in cold water and air drying can also help preserve the fabric's integrity and UV protection.
