A lightweight summer layer designed to keep you out in the water for longer without falling prey to pesky chills or sunburn, the Calm Waters Sleeveless Rashguard features a SPF 50 sun-protection fabric that seals in your core warmth. Cute, feminine details are also functional, like cinchable ties at the side hems that allow you to wear the piece long or short and a center-front half zip that opens for ventilation. The Calm Water is ultra-quick drying, with a stretch construction that won't pull or restrict while you're paddling. 92% polyester, 8% spandex with UPF 50 plus sun protection. 23 inches long. Hand wash, imported.
