Description

This Stingray women's long sleeve UV swim shirt, also called a long sleeve rash guard, covers your arms in full and has a high collar for the back and sides of the neck. The UPF 50+ fabric is tested to the Australian standard AS/NZS 4399:1996 and blocks at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays, helping to protect your skin from sunburn, premature ageing and long-term damage. The protection is woven into the fibre and the weave rather than a chemical finish, so it cannot wash out or wear off.

The fabric comes from Italy and is soft, light and breathable. It fits close, so it stays in place while you swim, and it is chlorine and saltwater resistant and quick to dry, whether you are at the pool, in the sea or on the beach all day. Sizes run from S to 7XL, in ten colourways from plain navy and black to two-tone.

Protection woven into the fabric

This UPF 50+ long sleeve swim shirt lets less than 1 in 50 UV rays through, which helps protect your skin from sunburn, premature ageing and long-term damage. The protection comes from the fibres and the density of the weave rather than a chemical finish, so it cannot wash out or wear off, and there is nothing to reapply.

Coverage

Your arms and neck, out of the sun

A long sleeve swim shirt with a high collar, so your arms, shoulders and back, and the back and sides of your neck, are all under certified fabric. The hem sits at the hip to upper thigh. You don't need suncream on the skin it covers; put it on your face, ears, hands and legs.

No zip Pulls straight on over your head.
Unlined No built-in bra or shelf, just one soft layer.

Questions

What customers ask us

What sizes does the long sleeve swim shirt go up to?

7XL. There are ten sizes from S to 7XL, for a bust from 97 cm to 142 cm, so it also works as a plus size long sleeve swim shirt.

I am between two bust sizes. Which should I order?

Take the larger. Measure around the fullest part of your bust with your arms relaxed, keeping the tape level across your back and snug but not tight, then find the nearest size in the table.

Will long sleeves feel too hot on a beach day?

The fabric is lightweight and breathable and made to keep you cool, and the sleeves keep direct sun off your arms. The fit is close but not compression-tight.

What do I wear under it?

Your own swimwear. The swim shirt is a single soft layer of UPF 50+ fabric, unlined, with no built-in bra or shelf.

Will the UV protection wash out after lots of swims?

No. It is woven into the fibre and the weave rather than a chemical finish, so it cannot wash out or wear off, and it keeps its full UPF 50+ rating when wet.

How should I dry it to keep its colour and stretch?

Rinse it in clean water after swimming to remove salt or chlorine, then dry it flat or hang it in the shade, away from high heat and direct sunlight.

Is it suitable for skin cancer patients or a medical condition?

Yes. Certified UPF 50+ cover is often recommended after skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, and for autoimmune conditions such as lupus, scleroderma and dermatomyositis, photosensitivity conditions such as actinic keratosis and vitiligo, genetic conditions such as EPP, ichthyoses and Bloom syndrome, and during chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunosuppressive treatment. We cannot give medical advice, so follow your dermatologist or consultant on how much cover you need.
