Mountain Warehouse Long-Sleeved Rash Guard - Blue

The UPF 50+ rating means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage during outdoor activities.

Yes, it is designed to be worn as a standalone top for water sports or beach activities, offering sun protection and comfort.

The funnel neck provides additional coverage and protection around the neck area from the sun and can help reduce wind chill, offering a bit more warmth and comfort.

While the long sleeves and fabric offer some insulation, this rash guard is primarily designed for sun protection and comfort in warmer waters or as a base layer. For very cold water, additional thermal layers would be necessary.

Polyamide (Nylon) provides durability and a smooth feel, while Elastane (Spandex/Lycra) provides the stretch and shape retention, allowing for a snug and comfortable fit that moves with the body.

Follow the care instructions: machine wash cold with mild detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and air dry or tumble dry on low. These practices help preserve the fabric's integrity and UPF properties.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The fabric has stretch, but a size too small will always feel restrictive. Try a larger size if discomfort persists.

While flat seams minimize chafing, prolonged friction can still cause irritation. Ensure the garment is clean and rinse it thoroughly after each use, especially in saltwater or chlorinated pools.

Ensure the garment is not overloaded with detergent or fabric softener, which can impede drying. Wring out excess water gently before air drying. Avoid using high heat for drying as it can damage the fabric.
