USVI-On-Line

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.

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

I bought some items for my 2-year old at the following:

The have a nice selection of adult itmes and they have really good customer service. You might check them.

great suggestions! thanks, guys!

try athleta.com for women's rash guards and board shorts. That's where I got mine and I am very happy with them.

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