I wore it Hawaii and even though it has long sleeves it was not hot and I felt protection from the sun while looking attractive in the rash guard.

I live in Hawaii and never go to the beach without a rash guard - 12 months a year   But sometimes thats uncomfortable due to the heat. I was thrilled to find this zipped one.  It looks good enought to just wear on the street  But one thing, it's a bit heavier than traditional rash guard fabric so it takes longer to dry.  I'm not so sure I'm in love with this fabric
