Will the rash guard get any weight or bulk when I get wet? I love the idea of having a UPF50+ protection, but I don’t want to feel like I’m swimming in a wet blanket.

Thank you for your question, Bernardo! I understand your concern about the rash guard getting bulky when wet. Our Mares Trilastic DC Short Sleeves Rashguard UPF50+ is designed to be quick-drying and resistant to water, which helps to minimize bulkiness. Additionally, the fabric is lightweight and has a four-way stretch for enhanced flexibility. When exposed to water, the fabric will absorb some water, but it dries relatively quickly. I’d say it’s more like wearing a slightly damp shirt than a ‘wet blanket’!

What makes this product ‘unisex’? I’m interested in buying it for a friend, but I want to make sure it fits well for both men and women.

I purchased the Mares Trilastic DC Short Sleeves Rashguard to wear as a base layer for water activities. The rash guard is lightweight and quick-drying, which is great. However, I noticed that it takes a bit to get used to wearing it in a long sleeve.

I’ve been using the Mares Trilastic DC Short Sleeves Rashguard for my kayaking trips, and it’s been great! The colors are really vibrant, and the material is very soft and comfortable. However, I do wish it came in more colors.

Will this product still provide the UPF50+ protection when it gets wet? I want to make sure my skin is protected from harsh UV rays while I’m out on the water.

Thank you for reaching out about the Mares Trilastic DC Short Sleeves Rashguard UPF50+! Yes, the UPF50+ protection remains effective even when the garment gets wet. This is due to the fabric used in our Trilastic line, which is designed to provide excellent UV protection regardless of the level of moisture. For added peace of mind, we also recommend reapplying sunscreen as needed and seeking shade or other forms of protection when the sun is strong.
