O’Neill has long been known for their high quality and functional wetsuits and sun protective shirts. Now, the same attention to detail is available in a lower priced value-driven sun shirt for men. Pay for function, not fancy – this value priced rashguard delivers. The O’Neill Basic Series brings the sun protection and fit you need, with pared-down graphics and a lower price. More relaxed fit than traditional rashguards means you can wear this shirt to the beach, boardwalk, and bar without feeling squeezed 50+ UV Protection factor 6 ounce polyester/spandex with 4-way stretch Quick-dry material goes from ocean to beach and back Boardshort connector loop at lower hem helps keep shirt (and shorts!) in place during active watersports Flatlock stitched for comfort Cleanly designed graphics for a classic look Note: These shirts are designed to fit with a body-skimming snug fit – not a compression fit like a traditional rashguard. They are not as loose as regular apparel so consider ordering up a size or two if you want a looser fit.
