If the tight fit of a swim shirt isn't for you, try a water shirt, a loose fitting swimming pullover which feels good and looks great on shore or in the water, both wet or dry. It has good ventilation in hot weather and keeps you fresh and cool when wet.

UV protection is safer and easier with long sleeve Water Shirts. They stretch 4-ways, are soft and dry fast.

Water shirts are similar to swim shirts but loose fitting for comfort and ventilation in hot weather. When wet they keep you fresh and cool.

Loose Fit for Comfort

The loose fit allows for more ventilation on land than tight swim shirts, but causes a little bit more drag when swimming.

The "T-Shirt Style" has become very popular, derived from swim shirts for maximum UV sun protection. You can wear it for extended periods on the beach, in the pool or water park, or anywhere you or your children are outside and need sun protection.

One question we get sometimes is: "Will long sleeves make me too hot?". The answer is that long sleeve water shirts are no hotter than short sleeve shirts when you are in the water because you will feel the water temperature.

However, at the end of the day, your arms won't be sunburned. Another advantage of long sleeve rashguards is that you can stay cooler when wet out of the water. The longer sleeves give you more wet surface to evaporate and cool your body.

Please note: Avoid repeated use in chemically treated water or with shampoo as this will eventually break down the elastic fibres. Hand washing is best.

Holiday Outfit

Combine your water shirt with jeans or lightweight cargo pants into a stylish and casual amphibian outfit for warm climates like Thailand, where swimming in clothes is the expected norm. This is really comfy and dries quickly, so you can jump into the water whenever you want and still look good at the beach side restaurant.
