Long Sleeve Rash Guard Women
Long sleeve rash guard women are the warmest type of protective swimwear, designed for surfing and other high intensity water sports. They are usually made of the same water ready fabric as swim shirts, though you can also find them in thin neoprene (the same stuff that wetsuits are made from) for extra warmth and protection. They can be worn as a base layer under other water sports gear, like wetsuits or snorkels, for added comfort and UV protection.

The main reason for wearing a long sleeve rash guard women is to provide protection against jellyfish stings and sunburn. The rash guard can act as a barrier between you and the stinging jellyfish, protecting your skin from chafing. It can also help protect you from the sun's harmful rays, as well as other abrasions and rubbing from your wetsuit or other water gear.

Rashguards are also a good choice for surfing and other high intensity water sports, as they can prevent chafing caused by the wax on your surfboard or sand on your legs. They can also help prevent abrasions from contact with your wetsuit, or even other people's surfboards.
