Product Information
The AKONA Long Sleeve Women's Sun Shirt is a lightweight, UV-protective performance tee made from a Nylon/Spandex blend that is rated SPF 50+ and blocks 97.5% of the sun's harmful rays. Akona describes it as the evolution of the rashguard: lighter, more breathable and stretchier, with 200% more stretch for all-day wear in the sun.
Who it is for
This long sleeve top is for women who spend long hours exposed to the sun: divers and snorkelers between dives, boat crew and passengers, paddlers, swimmers and anyone who wants arm and torso coverage without the heat and bulk of a traditional rashguard. The moisture-wicking fabric draws sweat away from the skin and evaporates it through the shirt, and the quick-drying, anti-microbial treatment makes it practical for back-to-back days on a liveaboard or dive boat.
