FAQs
Does this provide real sun protection?
Yes, it is rated UPF 50+, which blocks the vast majority of ultraviolet rays when the fabric covers your skin.
Can I use this for swimming in a pool?
Yes, it is suitable for pools, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water afterward to remove chlorine.
Is this a loose-fit shirt?
No, it features a 'performance fit' which is designed to sit closely against the body to minimize drag in the water.
How do I choose the right size?
This garment is designed for a snug fit. Choose your standard size for a performance fit, or consider the cut style if you prefer extra room.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the garment in the shade to preserve the elastic properties of the fabric and the effectiveness of the UV treatment.
Troubleshooting
Shirt rides up during swimming
Ensure the boardshort connector is properly secured to the waistband of your shorts.
Feeling skin irritation or chafing
Verify the shirt is fitted properly and that no sand is trapped between the fabric and your skin.
Fabric remains wet or heavy
Ensure you are wringing out excess water and hanging the garment in a well-ventilated, shaded area to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your O'Neill rash guard is simple. Simply pull the garment on over your head; the stretch fabric is designed to fit snugly against the skin. If you are wearing boardshorts, locate the connector loop at the hem and secure it to the drawstring of your shorts to maintain a locked-in fit. To care for your rash guard, rinse it thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use in salt or chlorinated water to prevent fabric degradation. Always air dry in the shade to protect the integrity of the synthetic materials and the UV-resistant coating.
