Jaslyn Wong –
The material feels very comfortable and dries quickly after each dive. I really like the snug fit, but I wish the sleeves were a tiny bit longer.

Thank you, Jaslyn, for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you like the comfort and quick-dry features, and we appreciate your comments about the sleeve length—we’ll pass this on to our design team.
Ravi Menon –
Is this rash guard suitable to use alone for sun protection during snorkeling in Sentosa, or do I need to put another layer on top?
Junhao Lo –
Hi Ravi, the Subgear Dragon Long Sleeve offers full UV protection and can be worn alone for snorkeling in sunny conditions. For extra warmth, you can layer it, but it’s suitable by itself for sun coverage.

Bought this for a recent Tioman dive trip. The flat seams really help—no itchy spots even after multiple dives. Looks sleek and fits nicely under my wetsuit too.
