Great sun protection May 13, 2009
John Edward (Miami, FL)

I went to various local stores for a rashguard. I normally wear a size XL shirt. Every rashguard in the stores were super tight. So I decided to give this looser fit rash tee a try. I did as suggested and ordered one size up. I ordered an XXL and it seems a bit loose. I would suggest for others to just order your normal tee shirt size.
I live in Miami, and my back and shoulders would be burned like a lobster in the sun (even with globs of waterproof sunscreen lotion) so I started wearing a cotton tee shirt in the pool last year. Because I'm getting older and am starting to get worried about premature skin aging and skin cancer from all the sun on my back. The problem with wearing a cotton tee shirt is that when your body is out of the water the shirt is heavy and makes you feel cold. So I started using this rash tee.
The rash tee is great. In the water you don't realize you are wearing anything. And out of the water it is light and comfortable. It wicks away the water quickly and doesn't feel cold. This rash tee is great in and out of the water. Also, the sun protection is better than any sunscreen lotion. This rash tee basically provides a complete sun block.
The only negative is that the sunscreen that I still put on my arms, face, and neck slightly stains the rash tee. The sunscreen bottle even says "will stain some fabrics". So be careful when putting on sunscreen, because it may stain the rash tee some. I bought the solid white rash tee. Probably if you bought a rash tee with some color it wouldn't have a problem. The staining makes the white tee look a little off-white or slightly yellow. So I would recommend getting a colored rash tee instead of the solid white if you are going to use sunscreen. I have used the rash tee about five times and it is starting to show some wear. I go in the pool about twice a week during the long Miami summer. It looks like this rash tee will only last one summer season, but I also have to buy a new bathing suit about every year also because of the UV rays and pool chlorine. So, I'll probably have to buy a new rash tee every year. I've been rinsing the rash tee out with fresh water after using it in the pool to try and keep the chlorine out in hopes it will make the rash tee last longer.
Better than a T or a Surf Shirt July 29, 2008

Loved this rash guard. It's better than a T-shirt because of the UV protection without having to put on sunscreen. Not sure of the SPF but can wear it all day without having to put on sunscreen. Rated it a 5 because of the fit. My husband has a little belly but because this fits like a loose T-shirt not a body-hugging surf shirt he does not look ridiculous in it. After having this for a month, bought a second one to have for next year.
Worth every Cent October 3, 2008

I have thought about getting a rash tee for a while, for a number of reasons and I've seen more kids with these on the beach lately, so I thought I would give it a try.
Let's face it, no matter how good the sunblock you put on, it will come off with various activity and over time. The SPF 50 of the tee helps a lot and offers other benefits as well.
Not only is it really comfortable, but really does help ease the chafing of a rough and sandy surf or just with a beach that is a bit more rocky than you would like. I even wear it in the pools and water parks now.
The fit is really great and it looks great too. I would heed the size recommendations of other reviewers and order the right size for fit (not necessarily the size you normally wear for street clothes).
All in all, a great buy and worth every cent. You won't be disappointed.

I bought this shirt for my husband. He really liked it because it helped him not sunburn. I would recommend this shirt to anyone.
Great top, but order a size up August 11, 2009

This shirt was fabulous to take on a sunny vacation. Light weight and lives up to it SPF rating. Wore it 4 days in a row, and it never showed any wear. Be sure to order up a size however, unless you want it SKIN TIGHT. I ordered up one size and it fit like a slim cut T shirt. If it were any bigger, it would have be awkward to wear in the water. It also dries very quickly in the water. WONDERFUL PURCHASE!!
