USVI-On-Line

Today I picked up a set of long underwear at REI.

These garments are UPF 50. Sun protective underwear. Go figure.

But at any rate, I got the top for $32 and the bottoms for $28 in black. And I am going to use them for my rash guard while snorkeling. It's supposed to be moisture wicking and quick drying.Polyester smells in the sun but I won't care underwater.

I love the stuff in from Coolibar. They have a web site. They are a sun protection clothing company, I got a great long sleeve rash shirt that zips up the front so its easy off and on. Lots of bright colors too. Plus size and regular sizes, men and women.

I have rashguards from athleta.com and also some o'neill ones. The o'neill ones fit looser and hang lower--high to mid-hip. Athleta's are a little snugger--not tight though--with a low mock turtleneck and hit your natural waist. They are surfing rashguards. The o'neill has a standard t-shirt style neck. They're different, but both are very comfortable. Both are cute colors, with neat patterns. Also, they fit well for me--I am petite in height, but top heavy.
