Sun Protection Built for the Water
The O'Neill Girls Hybrid SS Sun Shirt is a short-sleeve rash guard designed to keep young surfers and beach goers covered without slowing them down. Rated UPF 50+, it blocks the harshest UV exposure so kids can spend more time in the water and less time worrying about sunburn. O'Neill has been shaping California surf culture since 1952, and this shirt brings that same performance focus to younger riders.
Fabric and Construction
The shell is a 6oz nylon/spandex blend that stretches with every paddle stroke, jump, and tumble in the shore break. The spandex content gives it a slim, form-fitting feel that stays in place under a wetsuit or over a swimsuit without bunching. Overlock stitching at the seams resists chafing during extended sessions and holds up through repeated machine washes.
Quick Dry for All-Day Wear
The nylon/spandex construction sheds water fast, so the shirt transitions from the surf to the sand without staying soggy. Kids can wear it as a standalone top or as a first layer under a spring suit. The short sleeves keep arms free for paddling while the body coverage does the UV work.
O'Neill Heritage
O'Neill invented the modern wetsuit and has outfitted generations of surfers from first wave to professional tours. The Hybrid SS Sun Shirt carries that lineage in a lightweight, everyday piece that fits the same active lifestyle. Find it in store and online at Island Water Sports.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does UPF 50+ mean on a kids rash guard?
- UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks more than 98% of the sun's UV radiation, providing the highest rated level of sun protection. The O'Neill Girls Hybrid SS Sun Shirt is rated UPF 50+ for unsurpassed UV protection even during extended beach and water sessions.
- Is the O'Neill Girls Hybrid SS Sun Shirt a rash guard or a regular shirt?
- It functions as both. The nylon/spandex construction and UPF 50+ rating make it a true performance rash guard, but the short-sleeve cut and graphic styling let it double as a casual beach top.
- Can this sun shirt be worn under a wetsuit?
- Yes. The slim fit and stretchy nylon/spandex blend layer smoothly under a spring suit or full wetsuit without bunching or restricting movement.
- How do I care for this rash guard?
- The quick-dry nylon/spandex fabric is easy to rinse after sessions. Machine wash cool and hang or lay flat to dry to preserve the stretch and UPF rating. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat, which can degrade performance fabrics.
- Does a rash guard replace sunscreen?
- A UPF 50+ rash guard covers the areas it protects as well as or better than sunscreen, with no need to reapply. For uncovered areas like the face, neck, and hands, sunscreen is still recommended.
- Where can I buy the O'Neill Girls Hybrid SS Sun Shirt?
- It is available in store and online at Island Water Sports, South Florida's surf and watersports retailer.
- Is this rash guard good for swimming and paddling?
- Yes. The stretchy nylon/spandex construction moves with active swimmers and paddlers, the slim fit reduces drag, and the quick-dry fabric makes it comfortable in and out of the water all day.
