Comments about Men's Long Sleeve UV Rash Guard:
I had bought one of these a few years ago and it works really well. I like having the high neck to keep from getting sunburned. I hate wearing sunscreen and love this shirt so I can use even less sunscreen. The sizes do run small compared to standard american sizes. I would usually wear a small or medium shirt and the large seems to fit me good and is a little loose which I prefer.(maybe you're supposed to wear these tight... I don't know). If I went any smaller I think the sleeve length would be too short.

Comments about Men's Long Sleeve UV Rash Guard:
I use the rash guard almost daily for kayaking. A couple of years ago I had a pre-melanoma removed from my back. The pre-melanoma developed even though I religiously used high SPF sunscreen and wore t-shirts. In the summer the rash guard provides great protection against the sun. Using a rash guard my upper body shows no sign of having been in the sun. It actually saves money by eliminating the need for sunscreen on my back, arms and chest. During the cool/cold times of year the rash guard wears very comfortably under my wet suit and dry suit.

Comments about Men's Long Sleeve UV Rash Guard:
I bought this shirt to replace an older Gill shirt that had performed well over the past 3 years but was becoming 'tired'. The material is great in the sun or in the water and I will buy another Gill shirt when this one wears out.
