Samuel Goh –
I’m not entirely satisfied with my purchase of the Mares Kid Long Sleeves (UPF50+) Rashguard – Girl. While it’s comfortable and provides great sun protection, the material seems to pill after a few washes. Perhaps a more durable material would be a good idea. That being said, it’s still a solid product, and I would recommend it to others with some caveats.
