What is UPF50+ swimwear?

Our pieces are designed to provide excellent sun protection in and out of the water.
Why wear a rash guard?
Sunscreen is important, but it needs to be reapplied regularly and can wash off in the water. A rash guard provides consistent sun protection for your shoulders, arms and chest, helping reduce sun exposure while swimming or outdoors.
To achieve maximum protection, we recommend using a UPF50+ sunscreen in combination with our sun protection swimwear. Remember to limit your hours in the sun, use maximum protection methods such as seeking shade, wear a hat, sunscreen and sun protection clothing.
