I’m absolutely loving this rashguard! The long sleeves provide the perfect protection from the sun, and the loose fit is so comfortable. I’ve worn it for both diving and snorkeling, and it’s been a lifesaver on hot days. I’ve noticed that it takes a bit longer to dry than some of the other rashguards I’ve owned.

May Tan –
Does it have any special protection against seaweed getting tangled around my wetsuit?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out, May Tan. The Mares Loose Fit She Dives Long Sleeves Rashguard is designed to be a comfortable and versatile diving top. However, it does not have any specialized protection against seaweed getting tangled around your wetsuit. That being said, the fast-drying properties of the rashguard can help reduce the likelihood of seaweed sticking to the fabric. If you’re still concerned, you may want to consider adding some additional seaweed-repelling treatments to your wetsuit. I appreciate your feedback and would be happy to help you find a solution.
