Best Rash Guard Shirts for Women of 2025

"I absolutely love the color, it's a perfect baby blue! I typically prefer semi-fitted clothing, but since I wasn't sure if I'd wear this over a suit, I decided to size up. After getting a rash from a sunburn, I ordered this with low expectations, but I was amazed by the fit, style, and comfort! It’s thin yet high quality."

"I can't say enough about this Rash Guard for Women UPF 50+. It’s a true game-changer for outdoor lovers like me who want to stay safe from UV rays. My dermatologist will definitely be proud!

I wore it every day during my two-week surf trip. A summer must-have!"

"I found this garment to be beautiful and well-constructed, with a perfect pale pink color as advertised. The sizing was accurate; a small fit me well at 36", 24", and 115 lbs. It has a nice weight and hangs well. Although I'm returning it because I can't wear polyester, I really appreciated the great pockets!"

"I bought this for my summer vacation and it’s the first SPF long sleeve swimsuit I’ve ever owned. The quality is nice, with plenty of choices available. I initially ordered an XL, but it felt snug around the bust, so I switched to an XXL, which fits perfectly. After having skin cancer, I find long sleeve SPF wear essential in the summer. They are really cooling and wick sweat away, plus they’re incredibly comfortable!"

"I recently took my kids to Hawaii and decided we all needed long sleeve rash guards since we’d be in the water all day. I bought three of these for myself, and they were perfect! They kept me comfortable, provided great sun protection, and kept me warm when it got windy. I found them more flattering than expected. I might never go back to regular bathing suits when playing with my kids!"

"I love this swimsuit! The fit is great and very comfortable. With psoriasis on my forearm, the long sleeves give me extra confidence while swimming. In the past, I wasn’t keen on swimming, but now my kids are thrilled that their mom joins them!"

"I received it the next day, and it fits perfectly. It's so comfortable to wear in the water, plus I feel more protected from the sun. It's just so cute!"

"This was such a great buy for me. The quality is impeccable and the sun protection is just what I wanted. I ordered a size up, and it fit perfectly, giving me a tad more room in the stomach area. There was no fading after spending hours in the sun, and it was very comfortable."

"Last year I went on vacation and usually, I tan, but I ended up sunburned. Since the sun isn't good for me at my age, I decided to buy this for my trip. It worked very well. I wore it over my swimsuit, and the fit was great. I even bought one for my daughter!"

"I typically wear a medium, but this was extremely tight for me. I kept it for a relative and ordered a large for myself."

"I usually go for small, but based on reviews, I ordered a large. I realized the shirt needs to fit snugly for water performance. It keeps me covered well and is cute and comfortable out of the water too. Worth the investment!"

"I absolutely love this rashguard! The UPF 50 protection is fantastic for my beach trips. It feels great against my skin and dries quickly. The fit is just right—snug but not too tight, allowing movement. The thumbholes are a nice detail too. After multiple washes, it still looks great! Highly recommend for anyone active!"

"I recently started paddle boarding and struggled to find a quality rash guard that fits well. I found this one to be true to size, as I ordered a medium, which fit snugly in all the right places. At 5'6” and 150 lbs, it felt comfortable without being constricting. Although a bit pricey, I love how cute it looks!"

"I bought my usual Roxy size, but it was a very tight fit, making it challenging to get on and off. I wasn't entirely satisfied with how it felt."

"This Roxy swim shirt is perfect for those chilly beach days or when I want to keep my shoulders protected from the sun. It keeps me cool yet protected while looking fantastic!"

"I love my rashguard! I bought it back in 2017 and it's still holding up well. I've used it for everything from pools to surfing and even for casual walks under the intense Florida sun. At 5'3" and 130lbs, the fit is just right for me, especially with the thicker material that allows me to wear my sports bra underneath comfortably. The color has stayed vibrant and it cleans easily!"

"After trying on a small and medium, I ended up keeping the large size. The small was too tight in the chest, while the medium fit better but was still a bit snug. I appreciate the longer sleeves for extra sun protection, but I do feel it looks a bit big sometimes. The quality of the fabric seems good and it washed well after using it in the pool!"

"I got the grey with pink flowers version and received many compliments! However, I did find it a bit small and wish I had ordered a larger size. Despite that, it did a great job of keeping me covered from the hot sun and dried very quickly. Overall, it looks fantastic on me!"

"I bought this shirt in both orange and white colors. I wore the orange at the pool this week. The fit is true to size and it seems durable. I love the side shirring and ties that give it some shape. The zipper feels sturdy. I wear a size small, and these shirts are no exception. It's cool and comfortable in and out of the water, protecting my skin from burning and freckling."

"This rash guard definitely falls under the high-quality category! It provides ample coverage while being lightweight and super cute. I adore the details like the quarter zip and cinched sides that create a fitted look. You can easily adjust it to be looser by untying the strings on the sides. The navy blue color was as advertised and the sizing is pretty accurate."

"Overall, I find this to be a good sun shirt. The size is correct, but it is a little longer than I expected. The material is thick enough that it’s not transparent, which I like. However, I do wish it had built-in chest coverage. It’s comfortable and I appreciate that it also covers my neck."

"I bought this for my Florida trip and absolutely loved it. It was perfect for ocean swimming and provided great sun protection. After lots of wear and washes, it’s holding up well. I appreciated the long sleeves for additional hand coverage from the sun, and the sturdy zipper stays in place. The lightweight and comfortable material made it a great choice for me. I typically wear a size medium, but I sized up to an XL, which fit perfectly."

"This rash guard is by far the best I've owned! I’m quite small at 5'0" and 105 lbs, and after trying a small that was loose, I reordered in x-small and it fits perfectly. The zipper is a game changer for me since I have shoulder issues, making it easy to get in and out of the top. I highly recommend it!"

"I bought this for a Central America beach trip since I burn easily. It provided AMAZING sun protection—not a single burn underneath! I did cut thumb holes into the sleeves since they were a bit long, but it worked great. I’m 135 lbs, 5'4", with an athletic build, and it fit comfortably without riding up. Plus, it dried quickly and looked great even after days of use!"

"I cannot praise this package enough! I live in Florida and spend a lot of time in the water. The four-color pack allows me to match different bathing suits. The fit is perfect for my plus size 20, and they're comfortable. Kudos to Amazon for a great product!"

"I have to avoid the sun due to my medications, and these shirts are a great solution. The 2X fits almost perfectly with only slightly long sleeves. The fabric feels silky, and I appreciate the coverage without being too tight. I'm definitely considering more from the Real Essentials line."
