O'Neill Womens Basic Skins UPF 50+ Long Sleeve Sun Shirt
The O'Neill Womens Basic UPF50 LS Sun Shirt is O'Neill's basic skins long sleeve rash guard, the exact style people are searching for when they look up an O'Neill women's basic skins UPF 50+ long sleeve rash guard. O'Neill built the Basic Skins line to bring the brand's world renowned quality to a value driven price point, without cutting the sun protection or fit that matters in the water.
What Makes It a Basic Skins Rash Guard
- 50+ U.P.F. maximum ultraviolet protection
- Strategic seam placement to help prevent rash
- 4-way stretch fabric
- Slim fit
- 6oz polyester and spandex blend
- Overlock stitched seams for strength
The strategic, minimal seam placement is specifically what O'Neill points to for rash prevention, and it pairs with the overlock stitching so the seams hold up to repeated paddling and wave riding rather than just looking clean off the water.
Who This Shirt Is For
This is built for anyone paddling, surfing, or spending long stretches in South Florida sun where UPF 50+ coverage genuinely reduces sun fatigue, rather than a cover up worn only on the sand. The slim fit and 4-way stretch keep it close to the body so it does not bunch or drag while paddling, and long sleeves extend that protection further down the arms than a short sleeve style.
Wear and Care
Rinse this rash guard in fresh water after saltwater use and let it air dry, since the polyester and spandex blend holds up better long term without repeated high heat drying. Because it is a slim fit, it is meant to sit close to the skin, more like a base layer than a loose tee, which is also what keeps the seams from chafing during paddling.
The O'Neill Name
O'Neill has been the original California surf lifestyle brand since 1952, and the Basic Skins line reflects that same technical approach to sun protection and fit at a more accessible price.
