Florence Marine X Long Sleeve Hooded Rashguard
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Sun Protection Built for the Water
The Florence Marine X Long Sleeve Hooded Rashguard is engineered for surfers and water-sports athletes who need serious, all-day UV coverage without sacrificing freedom of movement. A UPF 50+ rating blocks harmful sun rays across your arms, torso, and head so you can stay in the water longer with confidence.
Fit and Construction
The light compression fit is designed to feel supportive in the water without restricting paddling. Raglan sleeves eliminate shoulder seams from the paddling zone, improving range of motion and reducing pressure points during repetitive strokes. Four-way stretch fabric moves in every direction with your body, so the garment stays in place whether you are paddling out, popping up, or duck-diving.
Flatlock stitching runs low-profile throughout, minimizing material bulk against the skin and preventing chafing during extended sessions. A boardshort tie loop is integrated inside the waistband, letting you lock the rashguard down in turbulent surf so it stays tucked and does not ride up.
Three-Panel Hooded Design with Recycled Visor
The three-panel hood provides structured sun coverage over your head and neck during long periods in the water. The recycled polyethylene visor shields your face from direct sun and is noticeably softer than traditional EVA visors, sitting comfortably against your forehead without pressure or irritation. The hood conforms closely so it does not catch water or fill up when submerged.
Recycled Materials
The fabric is 80% recycled nylon and 20% spandex. Using recycled nylon reduces the demand for virgin petroleum-based fiber while delivering the same stretch, durability, and quick-dry performance surfers expect from a performance rashguard.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the Florence Marine X hooded rashguard different from a standard rashguard?
- It adds a structured three-panel hood with a recycled polyethylene visor, extending UPF 50+ coverage over your head and neck. Combined with raglan sleeves, a light compression fit, and an internal boardshort tie loop, it is built specifically for long water sessions where a basic rashguard leaves your scalp and face exposed.
- Can you swim in a rashguard?
- Yes. Rashguards are designed to be worn in the water. The 4-way stretch fabric and light compression fit on the Florence Marine X hooded rashguard allow a full range of motion for paddling and swimming, while the flatlock stitching prevents chafing that can occur with in-water activity.
- Can you put a rashguard in the dryer?
- It is best to air-dry rashguards. Heat from a dryer can degrade spandex fibers over time, reducing the stretch and fit performance. Rinse the garment in fresh water after each use, then hang or lay flat to dry.
- What does UPF 50+ mean?
- UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+ means the fabric blocks more than 98% of UV radiation from reaching your skin. It is the sun protection rating standard for fabric, equivalent to a very high SPF in sunscreen terms.
- Why are raglan sleeves important in a water sports rashguard?
- Raglan sleeves attach from the collar to the underarm in one diagonal seam rather than at the shoulder. This removes seam bulk from the shoulder zone, improving range of motion for paddling strokes and reducing pressure during repetitive arm movements.
- Is the Florence Marine X rashguard made from sustainable materials?
- Yes. The fabric is 80% recycled nylon and 20% spandex. Recycled nylon is sourced from pre-existing nylon materials rather than virgin petroleum-based fiber, reducing environmental impact while maintaining the stretch and durability needed for performance water sports use.
- Where can I buy the Florence Marine X Long Sleeve Hooded Rashguard?
- It is available at Island Water Sports in store and online. Island Water Sports serves South Florida's surf and water sports community and carries the Florence Marine X line.
