I swim every other day in Arizona all year long. This has been the best UV protector I have ever had, better than sunscreen. My hands are tanner than my arms. Would this company please make more long sleeve rash guards in these wild designs. It fits great and the nice thing about it has no front or back so which ever way you put it on fits.It doesn't keep you warm out of the water and it is heavy wet, but comes off easy. It has not faded or stretched out at all and I have had this rash guard for 6 months.
I ended buying three of these. Loved the design, heavy weight of the material and the terrific fit. But it does not dry quickly as some other guards, and sits heavy and wet after a swim. I have to hang it to dry overnight. It's easy to peel off and feels great in the water. The colors have not changed after about 16 dips in the chlorine. I bought three because it makes for a fantastic dry top.
Using for lap swimming, several times a week out in the sun, for sun protection. It's comfortable and is far better than slathering on sunscreen everyday!
