Wei Ming Tan –
The XL size fits me well and gives good flexibility while diving. The material dries fast and doesn’t chafe even on long boat trips, but I wish it came in more colours.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you, Wei Ming, for your positive feedback and suggestion. We’ll share your interest in more colour options with our product team for future consideration.
Rina Lim –
Is this rash guard suitable for use in swimming pools with high chlorine levels? Will the fabric lose shape quickly?
[email protected] –
Hi Rina, the Subgear Dragon Long Sleeve is made with high-resistance fabric designed to withstand chlorine exposure. To maintain its shape and durability, we recommend rinsing it thoroughly with fresh water after use in swimming pools.
