Wore this rash guard during a recent dive trip to Tioman and it felt really comfortable even after several hours in saltwater. I like how it dries quickly after each use, but the fit is a bit tighter than I expected for an ML size.

Does this Subgear Daemon rash guard provide enough UV protection if I use it alone for snorkeling, or do I need extra sunscreen?

Hello Shalini, the Subgear Daemon Short Sleeve ML Black is made from UV-resistant fabric, offering strong sun protection during snorkeling. However, for areas of skin not covered by the rash guard, we recommend using additional sunscreen.

I’ve used this rash guard for my pool training sessions and it stands up to the chlorine much better than my previous tops. The flatlock seams are really comfortable—no chafing at all, even after long hours.

Thank you for your positive feedback, Zhi Wei! We’re pleased to hear that the rash guard performs well in chlorinated environments and that you’re experiencing extra comfort with our flatlock seam design.
