rashguards

[liamsaunt]

Can someone please recommend a site where I can find a men's short-sleeved rashguard, preferably not super tight fitting, without any obnoxious labels or ugly graphics on it? I found ones I like for me, but am having trouble finding one for John.

Thanks!

Check out LL Bean - the men's might be too form fitting - hard to tell

If the link doesn't work, go to www.llbean.com, keyword = rash guard

B - the O’Neill 24/7 shirts are less synthetic feeling, more comfy and looser fitting. These have an SPF of 15, but I’ve never gotten burned wearing them, but then I’m only half Irish.

I also have the sleeveless one I got from this CA surf shop.

This is a loose fitting one. It seems it only comes in black.

This is the one Rick, got. He really likes it and it's not real tight.

Just curious but do you wear them for warmth or for protection from the sun or what?

[gavinman]

Lands End has them and they look a little loose.

I've got to buy one for our June trip.

I also better start working out so I can look like that guy in the pic by June. Ah the hell with it, I'll be the pale white skinny guy with a beer gut on the beach.

For sun protection. We go out snorkeling for long periods of time, long enough that our backs would burn even if we had sunblock on (which of course we do). Nothing is worse than a burned back!!

Thanks for the links everyone! I'm sure I will find something from these.

We wear them for sun protection. They work great for when you're doing your best "one horned buttfish" imitation, snorkeling for hours on end!

Diana: They work for warmth, too. We wore them while kayaking on a misty/cloudy day, and they helped reduce the slight chill of the wind. They won't keep you warm like a wet suit does in the water, but I think they help alittle.

I'd never leave home without those wonderful Rashguard shirts! Parafins..

I got mine at scuba.com I use it for sun protection and it has never failed me. I am an XL ladies but I bought a mens L which does me fine, loose and comfortable!

The ones with the different color sides really look slimming, mine is blue with silver sides...just love it. The good ones run about $35

Just a thought, but I found some great rashguards at one of our local dive shops. I have to try stuff on so it worked great for me.

I found some nice Reef brand rashguards at my local Ross Dress For Less store for $8.99!! Short sleeved solid white or light blue, and long sleeved solid black. The tags say 50 spf sunscreen. You never know what you're going to find in that place... I've never used a rashguard before, but thought I'd give them a try for the price.

Sometimes I use them to keep from getting a wax rash!

Who knew?
