A Long Sleeve Rash Guard Built for South Florida Sun
Kids spend hours in the water down here, and the O'Neill Youth Basic L/S Rash Tee is designed for exactly that. It delivers 50+ U.P.F. maximum protection, cutting down harmful UV exposure on long beach days, boat trips, or afternoons at the pool.
Materials and Construction
This rash tee is built from a 6oz polyester and spandex blend with 4-way stretch, so it moves with your child through paddling, swimming, and surfing without restricting arm movement. Strategic seam placement and overlock stitching create a super-strong seam that resists rash and irritation from board wax, wetsuit rubbing, or repeated paddling.
- 50+ U.P.F. maximum protection
- 4-way stretch, 6oz polyester and spandex
- Strategic seam placement to reduce rash
- Overlock stitched seams for durability
- Slim fit
Who It's For
This long sleeve tee suits younger surfers, paddlers, and beach kids who need real sun coverage without giving up mobility. Long sleeves mean more skin covered on the boat, the paddleboard, or a full afternoon of tide pooling, which matters most for kids who burn easily or spend entire days outdoors.
Wearing, Fit, and Care
Rash guards like this are meant to be worn snug against the skin, either alone over swimwear or as a base layer under a wetsuit top on cooler mornings. Because it is a slim fit, expect it to sit close to the body rather than loose like a regular tee. Rinse in fresh water after saltwater or chlorine exposure and let it air dry to preserve the stretch and UV protection over repeated wears.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a rash guard and a wetsuit?
- A rash guard like this O'Neill tee is a lightweight, 6oz polyester and spandex layer built for sun protection and rash prevention, not thermal insulation. A wetsuit is thicker neoprene designed to retain body heat in cooler water. Many surfers wear a rash guard under a wetsuit for extra comfort and rash resistance.
- Can you wear a rash vest under a wetsuit?
- Yes, a rash guard like this one is commonly worn as a base layer under a wetsuit top to reduce chafing from paddling and to add a layer of sun protection when getting in and out of the water.
- How much sun protection does this rash guard offer?
- This O'Neill Youth Basic L/S Rash Tee is rated 50+ U.P.F., which is the maximum ultraviolet protection rating and helps reduce fatigue from sun exposure during long days outside.
- What is this rash guard made from?
- It is made from a 6oz polyester and spandex blend with 4-way stretch, overlock stitched seams, and strategic seam placement to prevent rash during paddling and swimming.
- Is this rash guard a slim fit?
- Yes, this style is designed as a slim fit, so it sits close to the body rather than loose, which is typical for rash guards meant to be worn in the water.
