The Most Advanced Rash Guards; Crafted With Love
All of our rash guards were meticulously designed, with care and attention to detail. They’re guaranteed to fit perfectly and protect you from both abrasion and sunburn. On top of that, we design them to the height of fashion. Look your best. Feel your best.
I wear this rash guard for days at the pool or beach. It's great sun protection, fits well, and is stylish. This brand has the best rash guards that cover your hands and go up to your neck. The elastic waist makes sure it stays in place and doesn't ride up.
I ordered three designs of these in size XL. I'm 6ft and 165 lbs. The sleeve length fits me well and not too tight in the armpits. I love the color and designs. The middle is a little tight for me, but isn't a deal breaker. My main complaint is that there were a few nicks/snags in one of the shirts right when it arrived. I decided not to return because they are small (you can see them in the photo) and the shirt is sold out. I love the color so figured I could ignore the imperfections, though, it did make me sad.
I'm an open water swimmer. I like rash guards when it's to warm for a wetsuit but I want a little coverage on my arms. Most ones I've tried cause too much drag and/or don't stay put. This rash guard is brilliant as the thumb holes keep the sleeves in place. The rubber band at the bottom also keeps the body in place. First time testing was in a 1.5 mile swim and it was perfect.

Dear Kim,
thank you for your detailed review. We are very happy you like the rashguard and it works well for your needs. We always test all our products extensively before bringing them to the market and we always listed to our customer suggestions and complains.
Thank you again !

I’m 5’2” and weight 96 lbs. The rash guard fits perfectly. Not too lose, not too tight. It would still fit even if I were to gain several pounds. It stays put at the hips and the sleeve’s thumb hole help keep the sun off of the top of my hands. I used it many times and it keeps it shape if you follow washing instructions. I also like the fact that the neck is high enough to protect me from the sun which other rash guard do not do. I like the colors and it dries fairly quickly. Last but not least the zipper does not take away from the style but rather helps when putting it on and taking it off. I love it.

Good workout rashguard
I have been looking for a rashguard that I can use during my workouts, and this one is perfect! It is snug but still fits comfortably. The fit gets better as you use it multiple times but will still remain in great condition. I also use this when I run outside as this also has sun protection. Can't wait to try it out on the beach and in the water.
Perfect rashguard for women
I always think that I look good in pink, but I never thought pink would be this awesome! I love every bit of this rashguard and wearing this under the sun makes it even more lovable. I have sensitive skin so always need to cover my skin with sunscreen. With this rashguard, I don't need to do that anymore since this one works really well! Thank you Platinum Sun!
Good Rashguard for beach
All eyes on me when I wore this on the beach. I am not the bikini type when swimming so this rashguard is perfect for me! I protects me from the sun while still looking good. I love the unique color on this and will definitely be buying more of this.

Hi Jane !

We are happy that the rashguard fits well. Enoy it and we hope you will have many amazing session in water.

Rashguard above standards
I love the material of this rashguard. It is thick enough that you'll immediately know that it will protect you from the sun. At the same time, it is soft and comfortable to touch. I believe rashguards should always be like this to serve its function but this company just brought to another level. Designs are pretty, with good colors, and seem pretty durable.
I liked the overall design and concept of these swim shorts. However, as a mature 58-year-old with a more developed chest, I found that they offered no padding or lining to help conceal the nipples. As a result, the fabric revealed the full outline of my chest, which made me feel uncomfortable wearing them in public. Adding a bit more coverage or support in the chest area would make these swim shorts a much better option for a wider range of body types.
Store owner replied:
Thanks for the review, Sandie. We’re glad the fit feels right and the hand coverage helps block the sun. We appreciate your support.
These are well designed rash guards that aren't too tight but stay in place and don't impede on the swimming. I'm glad for the darker color so that I can wear it without a bikini top underneath. I feel safer staying out in the water in the sun wearing this rash guard.
Store owner replied:
Hi Carolyn, thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We’re so happy to hear the rash guard keeps you comfortable, secure, and confident in the water. It’s wonderful knowing the design and darker color worked perfectly for you.
What an excellent rash guard. Extremely well made. The fit is perfect; snug but not too tight. I appreciate the thumb holes and the band integrated into the bottom of the shirt that holds the shirt in place when I am snorkeling in the deep ocean. Five stars!
Store owner replied:
Dear Shawn,
thank you for your review. Yes the rashguards fit very tight, so if you wish a looser fit, please order a size up !
Thank you for choosing Platinum Sun !
Happy surfing !
best swimwear on the market. sizes run very small. I normally wear a small and need a large in Platinum Sun.
Store owner replied:
Dear Carolyn,
thank you so much for your review. We will make sure to review the size chart in the future, but it is very difficult to match the sizing since every brand has its own size chart.
I love the color/design of the striped pink rash guard, but the large was extremely tight. With 15% Spandex, even an XL would be too tight. I am 5.5' tall & 160#. Someone with a slimmer body would be fine. I really wanted it to fit, but returned it.
Store owner replied:
Hi Maureen, than you so much for your review. It will help our future clients to make a better sizing decision. We are sorry that we weren't able to make you happy.

I absolutely love this shirt. I am 5’3 137lbs and bought a size medium and it fits perfectly. Colors are so vibrant.. Love Pink ~ Can’t wait to wear it at OBX!

I am 5’8” and 150. Tall and athletic build and this rash hairs fits perfectly! It is super high quality and built for action, sun protection, as well as looking good.
Covers your skin beautifully
I got this rash guard for the summer because I don't like getting sunburnt when I go kayaking. This one is very comfortable and easy to take on and off. It doesn't roll up or down when you are kayaking which makes it very easy to use. I am satisfied with my purchase overall
Store owner replied:
it looks good and does its job.
Great for surfing
I surf all the time, and I'm always looking for a rash guard that fits my long torso. I've found most of them to be too short or not flattering on me. This top was great - the length is right for me, it's very flattering, and the material is not too tight but still shows off my curves. The zipper is an unexpected feature, but it doesn't interfere with function at all. I like that it's not shaped like a tee shirt.
Love it!
I bought this rash guard for my 13 years old daughter, who is 4'10" and 147lbs. She normally wears a size 12 top, and we got her the large because she likes it loose and it fits well. It is very flattering, and she loves it. She feels more confident in it. It is really great quality. So far, it's washed well. She has worn it every day since receiving it.
Super gorgeous
Most rash guards I've found tend to be too tight on me, but this one is a great fit. I was a little worried about the fit, but I followed the sizing chart and ordered an XL. The top is snug but not restrictive. The sleeves are long enough for my tall frame. It isn't too tight under the armpits, which is my biggest problem with rash guards that are too small or poorly made as my bra size is 38DD. I highly recommend this rash guard.
Great colors
I received the rash guard shirt today. The shirt is nice, lightweight for hot weather, and the material is great. The pattern is beautiful, not too over the top, which I really like. The good thing about this rash guard is that it fits true to size. I am 5'8", 160lbs, and the XL fits perfectly. I have a longer torso and a long waist, so the length is perfect. The colors are bold and bright even after they've been washed several times. I'm so glad I ordered it!
I love it
I love this rash guard! The fabric is so soft, the fit is perfect! And I don't even have to worry about it riding up because of the thumb holes. Definitely recommend buying one if you're looking for a good quality rash guard.
I love this rash guard
I got this rash guard in hopes it would help me cover the vitiligo on my upper body. And I am glad I bought it. It is made of a very comfortable material, and it fits nicely. I am 5'8", 144 lbs. I have ordered a large, and the fit is perfect. The diagonal zipper in front makes it easier for this 66-year-old to get in & out of it! I love this rash guard!
Great to protect from sun
I have used this twice now for riding my mountain bike at the beach, and it worked really well. It was very comfortable to wear and allowed me to ride all day without any chaffing or burn. I can't wait to use it again on my beach holidays.
Love the amazing colors
I wore this rash guard for snorkeling in Hawaii, and it did a great job of protecting me from the sun. It was clingy on me, but not uncomfortably so. The fabric is very lightweight and stretches well, even when wet. It also dries very quickly if you get out of the water and want to head out right away.
Great sun protection, cool!
I bought this rash guard for a trip to Costa Rica, but I've been so impressed with it that I'm planning to buy another one. This rash guard is comfortable and functional. I'm 5'5" tall and weigh 115 pounds, and I ordered a small. The fabric is lightweight and soft, not at all itchy or uncomfortable. It's very comfortable, and the bright colors are very nice for underwater visibility.
Highly recommended
I have been looking for a good quality rashguard top that would protect my entire torso from the sun as I had melanoma. I am very impressed with this item. The fabric is very good quality, it has a snug fit without being too tight, and this swim shirt is exactly what I have been looking for!. I love the pattern on the top. It is feminine without being too girly or "cutesy."
Well made and rash guard
A rash guard is amazing, I was worried it would feel like a wet suit, but it's actually pretty light and soft and comfortable. The material is lightweight, but it still kept me totally protected from the sun. The top was large enough to cover my entire belly, which was important for me because I'm tall. The thumb holes were also a great feature because they added extra coverage without feeling like the arms were too short. A great product, and I would definitely buy it again!
High quality and amazing
We ordered these rash guards for the whole family, and we love them. They provide good sun protection, and they don't move around on you while playing in the water.
Amazing quality and great fit
I love this rash guard. The color is so vibrant, and the material is super soft! I'm 5'2, so the length is a little long, but it doesn't matter because I wear it as a shirt. It's a little tight, but I'm a curvy girl, so I might need to order a size up next time. It's pretty tight, but it's still great in the water and doesn't ride up. I love the design and the quality of this shirt. I would definitely recommend it to others!
Great features
I am a surfer, and this rashguard/swimwear is the best thing ever invented; it works as a swimsuit and as a rash guard. It's comfortable and dries quickly. I love wearing this for surfing and triathlon training; I don't feel as slippery as I do when wearing regular swimsuits. I like the feel of this rashguard. It's not too tight but still provides support. It doesn't ride up or chafe my skin on any part of my body, which is great!
Great Quality
Just received my rash guard and loved it!!! My pale complexion burns easily, so this is going to come in very handy. I know the quality of this Rashguard is going to last, so I don't have to worry about it getting a hole or a tear anytime soon. Thank you so much for making such a high-quality item!
Godd quality, would buy again
Just got the rash guard in the mail, and I have to say I'm impressed by the quality of it. The zipper on this rash guard makes it easy to put on and take off. It feels great, looks great, and fits great! Thanks for making one that isn't super constricting like a spring suit. I really like this rash guard and will be buying another one soon.
Great rashguard
I am very happy with my purchase. I am 5'2" and 115 lbs. I ordered this in size small, and it fits like a glove. The material is very lightweight yet feels snug and secure. I wear this for surfing and swimming in the ocean on hot days. It really does feel like you are wearing nothing at all while still offering 100% protection.

While a rash guard can provide some warmth and sun protection, it is not designed to replace a wetsuit.
