I’m in love with this Gul Swami’s Long-Sleeved Rashguard! The material is incredibly soft and the design is so chic. I’ve worn it during my surf sessions and it’s kept me protected from the sun and scratches. The only thing I wish they had was a slightly longer length. Nonetheless, this has become my go-to rashguard for any water activities.
Kartik Singh –
The design of the Gul Swami’s Long-Sleeved Rashguard is so rad! I love the unique colorway and the fact that it doesn’t ride up while surfing. That being said, I’ve noticed a slight decrease in flexibility when the fabric gets wet.
Kevin Tan –
I absolutely love this rashguard! The long sleeves provide great protection from the sun and the rash guard is very durable. I’ve worn it multiple times and it still looks like new.

I’m having a hard time deciding between this Gul Swami’s Long-Sleeved Rashguard and another similar one. Anyone have any recommendations? Should I prioritize the design or the material quality?
Junhao Lo –
Hi Emily, thank you for considering our Gul Swami’s Long-Sleeved Rashguard. Both design and material quality are important factors to consider when choosing a rashguard.

Yasmin Wong –
Is it weird that I wore Gul Swami’s Long-Sleeved Rashguard on a hot summer day and actually cooled down? The airflow is surprisingly good. I’m curious, Gul Swami, did you design this rashguard with temperature control in mind?
Junhao Lo –
Hello Yasmin, thank you for sharing your experience with our Gul Swami’s Long-Sleeved Rashguard! We’re thrilled to hear that it kept you cool on a hot summer day. Our design team has indeed focused on balancing protection and comfort, including ventilation to help regulate body temperature. However, the airflow being surprisingly good was an unexpected benefit, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. It’s wonderful to know that our product exceeded your expectations.

What makes the Gul Swami’s Long-Sleeved Rashguard so durable, in your opinion? The stitching seems top-notch, but I’d love to hear from the designers themselves!
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your lovely review of our Gul Swami’s Long-Sleeved Rashguard, Rohan! Our designers have indeed put a lot of thought into the durability of this product. The double-layered neoprene and the reinforced stitching are designed to withstand the rigors of frequent use. We’re also using a high-quality water-based coating that helps prevent wear and tear. Additionally, our products are put through rigorous quality control checks to ensure that each one meets our high standards. We’re glad you’ve noticed the stitching!
Aruna Devi –
Gul Swami’s Long-Sleeved Rashguard is a must-have for surfers! It’s saved my skin from some nasty abrasions. The grip on the shoulders is really secure, which is a plus. However, I did have an issue with the sizing. I ordered a size up, but it still runs a bit small for me. Maybe Gul Swami’s could work on that?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, Aruna Devi! We’re thrilled to hear that our Gul Swami’s Long-Sleeved Rashguard has helped protect your skin during surfing. We appreciate your feedback on the sizing, and we’ll definitely take it into consideration for future updates.
