Platinum Sun rash guards for men and women are crafted with the needs of watersports athletes in mind. Its longer length and sleeves, along with the rubbery strip on the bottom, ensure a secure fit and unbeatable protection against rashes and harmful sun damage. With no ride-up, you can focus on your performance with complete comfort and confidence while keeping your skin shielded from harmful UV rays.
Seventeen long sleeve rash guards and swim shirts, all UPF 50+, all cut for a woman's shape rather than shrunk down from a men's pattern. Wear them surfing, kitesurfing, paddling, snorkeling, or over a bikini on a boat when you have simply had enough sun.
It blocks around 98% of UVA and UVB rays, and unlike sunscreen it does not wash off, sweat off, or need reapplying halfway through the day. No white face, no greasy hands on your bar or paddle. Sunscreen goes on whatever the fabric leaves bare, and that is the whole routine.
Thumbholes keep sleeves down when you are paddling. A rubbery silicone strip at the hem stops the shirt riding up over your ribs. Shoulder zippers on some styles make getting in and out easier when you are wet. Flat-lock seams sit flush so nothing rubs on a long session.
No, and almost none on the market do. Wear yours over a swim top or sports bra, the same way you would a fitted t-shirt.
A rash guard is built to be worn wet. The fabric cools you as the water evaporates off it, which is exactly what you want in the sun, but dry on a hot day it can feel warm. The Active series is the exception, because it uses the same soft fabric as our leggings and stays comfortable dry.
One bright piece, one solid. A printed rash guard with solid leggings, or a solid top with printed leggings. Two big prints together compete with each other, and the whole thing stops looking put together.
Rainbow, Stripes, Art and Active, plus the Victoria hooded jacket with pockets. Each series comes from a different designer, so the cut and fabric vary slightly. The product page tells you which is which.
Platinum Sun’s rash guards are similar in form and function, sharing features such as UPF 50+ protection and full sublimation. It's important to note that all rash guards are designed to fit tightly, with the tightness increasing with the thickness of the fabric when worn. However, each collection of rash guards represents the vision of a different designer, resulting in some variations. These collections may differ in the cut of the neck, fabric composition, and other small features, which are clearly displayed on each product’s page.
