I noticed the material can be a bit prone to snagging. Is there a reason for that?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Gerard. We appreciate your attention to detail about the material snagging issue. The Scubapro Hybrid Thermal Guard 1mm Rashguard is made from a combination of polyester and spandex, which can be prone to snagging if it encounters sharp objects. However, we’ve designed this material to provide a high level of flexibility and durability. To minimize the risk of snagging, we recommend gently handling the rashguard, avoiding contact with sharp objects, and washing it in cold water. We’re always looking for ways to improve our products, and your feedback is invaluable to us. Thank you for helping us make better products!

The fabric is comfortable, breathable, and moisture-wicking, but could be more durable in rough waters.
