A long sleeve hooded rashguard built for long water sessions
If you are searching for the Florence Marine X long sleeve hooded rashguard, this is the utility pocket version built for full coverage on the water. It layers a light compression fit with UPF 50+ sun protection and a three panel hood, so you can stay out longer without reapplying sunscreen every hour.
Materials and construction
- 80% recycled nylon and 20% spandex for a light compression fit that moves with you
- 4-way stretch fabric for freedom of movement paddling, casting, or just swimming
- Raglan sleeves that improve fit and flexibility through the shoulders
- Flatlock stitching that sits low profile and resists chafing on long paddles
- Three panel hood with a recycled polyethylene visor that is softer against the head than standard EVA
- An internal boardshort tie loop so you can lock the rashguard down in rough water
Who it is for
This is a men's long sleeve rashguard for anyone spending real hours in South Florida sun, whether that is surfing, paddleboarding, fishing off the boat, or working a beach shift. The hood and long sleeves make it the piece you reach for when the day is long and the sun is direct, rather than a quick dip.
How to wear and care for it
Wear it as a base layer under a wetsuit vest or on its own over boardshorts. The tie loop tucks inside the waistband so it can anchor to a boardshort drawcord in surf or current. Rinse in fresh water after every saltwater session to protect the recycled nylon fibers and the UPF coating, and air dry rather than machine drying to keep the compression fit intact over time.
