I've been a devoted fan of Platinum Sun since discovering them well over a decade ago. I've purchased the white swirl top three times. I have multiple styles, I wear them paddle boarding, swimming and walking the beach. Skin cancer prevention is my goal. This product works! They're light weight, cooling to the body and so stylish. I love them!

A decade in and still coming back for that White Swirl top three times, Jennifer, is the kind of loyalty that makes us grin. Stoked it stays light, cooling, and stylish from paddleboarding to beach walks, with UPF 50+ coverage helping you stay on top of sun protection. Here’s to many more ocean days with your skin feeling cared for.
Great fit--small: not tight. But when I end up in the water the shirt doesn't sag or hold water. Helps to protect against sea nettle jellyfish stings. And I love the zipper at the neck for easy putting on and taking off; don't notice the zipper at all when wearing the shirt. Would definitely recommend.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're truly grateful for your continued support and thrilled to know our gear keeps your skin protected. Stay sun-kissed and shine on! 🌞
It didn't fit. Returns suck and take forever. Maybe next MONTH I'll get the exchange. Except it will be AFTER I leave for vacation.
Store owner replied:
Thank you, Austin! We're so glad you're loving the balance of style, function, and durability—that's exactly what we designed it for. Hope your swims in Marble Dawn feel as enjoyable as they look! 🏊♀️✨
Style, function and durability. That’s what I like. 🤩
Store owner replied:
Love that, Austin! Style, function, and durability are exactly what we design for, so hearing that you're getting all three means a lot. Thanks for being part of the Platinum Sun! 😍
This is a very comfortable rash guard. I bought it to protect my skin from the sun while swimming laps. The bottom edge clings perfectly around my hips and there is good freedom of movement in the arms without being baggy. I'm 5'5", 120lbs, slender build and I bought a size M. The bodice is snug and the arms a bit loose, but I have skinny arms. The zip neck is great so my upper chest is protected. Also comfortable and makes it easy to remove. My only quibble is I would love it if it were a darker color or came in more overall patterns as I prefer not to wear anything under it and it's somewhat sheer.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much, Carolyn! Reading your thoughtful feedback absolutely made my day. I'm glad the fit, comfort, and sun protection of the Lotus rash guard are working well for you during your swim laps. We really appreciate the suggestion about colors and patterns too—it helps us keep improving. Thank you for choosing Platinum Sun and taking the time to share your experience! 🌸💙
Like the shirts. Still not stretchy enough. Fabric is too restrictive unlike the description of being stretchy. The design is nice. Would like if there were designs with some darker color patterns. The customer service was great.
Good looking, great fit and design. Most rash guards are boring. This one has pizazz. I love the well placed neck zipper and thumb holes. I get lots of compliments.
As described, it is quite snug. The grippy stuff at the hem will really keep it in place. The material will stretch with you well. I realized for snorkeling I don't need something this snug. And for swimming I was concerned that the zipper top might bug my neck as I turn to the left to breathe. But for something more active like windsurfing or kite surfing it would be perfect. I'm sure it will stay well in place.
I'm 5'6", 140lbs and ordered the Medium and Large. The large was still fairly although I could move in the medium as well so it is a matter of how tight you want it.

Thank you for your 5-star review! Your feedback helps our customers to choose their correct size. Thank you for choosing Platinum Sun

I have one other long sleeved swim shirt from Platinum Sun I had purchased a few years ago and I love it. I purchased this new one as my first one is probably nearing the end of it's life of being UPF resistant. The sizes seem to have gotten smaller in the past few years since I purchased my first one. I had initially ordered a medium as my other swim shirt is that size but needed to return and exchange it for a size large. customer service was very helpful and their response time was great! I am 5'4" about 140 pounds. The way the zipper closes at the neck is a bit bulky and not very comfortable with the way the fabric wraps over the top of the zipper. But I love the print and the style so I am hopeful that the more I wear it the more it will soften and be less abrasive.
Store owner replied:
Dear Laurie,

Happy surfing !

Rash guard is a swim top designed to protect your skin from rashes due to friction or sunburn. They are ideal for watersports like surfing, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and swimming.
While a rash guard can provide some warmth and sun protection, it is not designed to replace a wetsuit. Our rash guards are not made from neoprene and are not intended to keep you warm in cold waters like a wetsuit would. As an option and for personal liking, you can use our rash guard underneath a wetsuit to prevent neoprene chafing.
Yes, the length is longer than average, and it typically provides adequate coverage for the torso and may extend beyond the hips, keeping the rash guard secure without riding up due to the silicone line on the hem.
While it is not water-resistant, it is designed to dry quickly.
Absolutely! They are designed for both freshwater and saltwater environments. Make sure you always wash it in salt- and chlorine-free water after each use.
The rash guard tops have a TIGHT ERGONOMIC FIT, more of a performance fit. The rash guard is comfortable during various water activities and mentions its stretchy fabric. For watersports, RASH GUARDS ARE SUPPOSED TO FIT VERY TIGHT AND SNUG THE BODY!
Yes, the rash guard is designed to provide sun protection, especially with its long sleeves and thumb holes. It has UPF 50+ protection that blocks 98% of harmful UVA & UVB rays and prevents sunburn.
Our rash guards are designed to have a TIGHT ERGONOMIC FIT for better performance during water activities. If you are looking for a looser fit, it's a good idea to order a size up, especially if you're only using it for sun protection.
If you find yourself between sizes or prefer a looser fit, we recommend ordering one size up. You can also reach out to us with your body measurements and the intended use, and we will be more than happy to assist you in selecting the perfect size.
This is a standard performance fit but designed to be snug.
Many customers praise the quality and durability of the rash guard's fabric and construction. It may last for a couple of seasons for you if you follow the care instructions. The fabric is high quality, and the seams are stretchy, well made with 6 threads.
Yes, the thumb holes help keep the sleeves in place, and the zipper at the neck aids in easy wearing and removal, especially when wet.
Yes, people use it for various water sports like swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, kitesurfing, beach walking, lap swimming, surfing, water-polo, etc.
Our material is designed to be resilient, but chemicals in pools and minerals in natural water bodies can affect color and the UPF layer with time. Proper rinsing and drying can mitigate this issue.
The fabric is generally comfortable and soft against the skin, making it suitable for prolonged use. When the rash guard is wet, it makes you feel comfortable under the hot sun. When you are in colder water, it helps you stay warm. It might get a bit hot if you are wearing the dry rash guard under the sun.
Follow the care instructions to ensure the rash guard's longevity and appearance.
Hand-rinse your rash guard with cool water right after taking it off.
Never use hot water, only cool or lukewarm.

No, our rash guards do not have built-in pads or bra support. They are designed to be worn over a bikini top.

No, this product is for the top only. However, swim leggings can be purchased separately.
Yes, it is recommended to layer the rash guard with swimsuits or sports bras for added comfort and support, but some people use darker color rash guards without a swim bra.
The fabric's stretchiness provides good mobility during water sports and activities. However, expect it to have a snug (like second skin) fit, which stays snug but doesn't restrict your movements.
30 days free return if the rash guard is unused and has original tags. In case there is a quality problem - we offer a lifetime warranty. For more, read here: https://www.platinumsun.com/pages/garantee
