Amirul Rahman –
Is this rash guard suitable for wearing under a wetsuit for long dives, or will it feel too thick?
Junhao Lo –
Hi Amirul, the Subgear White Ocean Long Sleeve XS is designed to be lightweight and slim, making it ideal for layering comfortably under a wetsuit. It should not feel too thick, even during extended dives.
Shi Wei Lim –
The white fabric looks great and is very visible in the water, but I find that stains from sunscreen or boat surfaces are quite hard to remove.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your honesty, Shi Wei. The white color does offer excellent visibility, but we understand stains can be a concern. We recommend pre-treating stains promptly and washing with a gentle detergent to help maintain the appearance.
