looser-fit rash guards/swim shirts?
Hi all!
My husband and I want some sun protection while we're snorkeling but don't want to wear heavy cotton tees while swimming....but we also don't want skin-tight shirts (which I think regular rash guards are?) I'm not overweight but I am 6'1" and so I usually wear an XL.
I vaguely remember a post from a few months ago asking about looser-fit rash guards or swim shirts, but I can't find the original thread. Does anyone have suggestions?
I'd also be interested in suggestions for women's 2-piece suits that involve surf-short type bottoms (for snorkeling sun protection as well...I had significant lower-cheek toasting during my last trip and I'd rather avoid it this time!)
Thank you!!!

I tried finding a pair of women's board shorts that I liked but none of them were long enough so I finally bought a pair of men's from Target. They come to my knees, are very comfy, and I never have to worry about too much exposed flesh.lark22 wrote: I'd also be interested in suggestions for women's 2-piece suits that involve surf-short type bottoms (for snorkeling sun protection as well...I had significant lower-cheek toasting during my last trip and I'd rather avoid it this time!)

I have an old bikini top I wear with them as well as a rash guard or an old t-shirt.

The O'Neill 24/7 line of rashguards are looser fitting with lighter fabric than most rashguard material. I got mine here:
