INGEAR Girls Long Sleeve Rash Guard Swim Shirt Outdoor Sports Shirt Lightweight , Blue, S

Have been using UPF swimwear and shirts on my 7 year old granddaughter since she was an infant. Living in North Carolina and making frequent beach trips - in NC as well as Florida - this has been a necessity. She has never suffered a sun burn and we are diligent to keep it that way as long as possible. This shirt works well over her swimsuit for extended exposure in the sun. Still use plenty of sunblock but sometimes you need to go the extra mile. Sized up in this and am glad I did. While not too loose it allows to wear over her swimsuit. Does not weigh her down when wet and dries pretty quickly when out of the water. Also doesn't seem to make her feel to "hot" but seems to breath pretty well. Nice color and cold water wash and hang do dry and we have had no fading or shrinking. Have only been using about two weeks but so far so good. She is on swim team this year so it is great to slip on when she wants to stay additional time at the pool after practice - so she is getting a LOT OF SUN!! Recommend this garment for water as well as land use -- nice that it works both ways.

Our daughter refuses to wear an actual swimsuit (five-years-olds.... what can you do?), but she will wear these rashers all day long. And this one is particularly nice--she loves the color, and it has just a little bit of a softer feel to it than other swim shirts we have had, I think. She is quite happy with it, as am I--great protection and necessitates less sunscreen, so we're happy all around. The shirt is, sadly, hand wash only, which really isn't all bad... you quite often have to wash a suit out by hand anyway, and this isn't any different. Simple enough to do, especially when there is other swimwear to do as well. Spending time with the grandparents, they get to play in the pool a lot, so she will be spending a lot of time in this shirt. And it is even slightly feminine-looking, as the back is just a touch longer than the front. So she's not just wearing one of her brother's old shirts. A size 6 fits her pretty well at the moment, and the size S of this shirt seems to be just right, with a little room to grow. Overall, everyone is happy--our daughter gets a comfortable shirt that looks good and gives her good protection, and we have peace of mind with the protection from harmful rays and that we don't have to fight over what she wants to wear.
