Alaska Needs You
More mining and drilling in America's Arctic will push us away from a livable Earth and further into climate chaos. Right now, you can help protect our climate, local communities and biodiversity by asking our government to stop extraction in three areas under threat in Alaska.
Orders are shipped within 1-2 business days and arrive within 3-10 business days. Need it sooner? Concerned about the environmental impact? Flexible shipping options are available.
If we have any hope of a thriving planet—much less a business—it is going to take all of us doing what we can with the resources we have. This is what we can do.
Great for long days snorkeling. Provides great protection from the sun. Fabric did not wear well, it frayed on the first day when rubbed by the seatbelt. Need more color choice than black and white.
We're sorry this top didn't hold up as it should have, Shawn, but we're glad to see you've returned it under our warranty. We're sharing this feedback with our product team. Please let up know if we can be of any further help!

Tight fit
The medium was very small and tight. I could hardly get it on.
I've surfed and open-water swam in the RØ rash guard shirt. I find it easier to wear a shirt rather than repeatedly applying sunscreen.
I'm 5'8" and 150 pounds; the medium is form-fitting but not 1980s-ski-racer spandex-tight. The shirt is heavier when wet, yet I never really notice it. It stays out of my way while providing UV... Read More and board-abrasion protection.
I had a previous Patagonia rashguard, which ran quite loose in a S. These new ones cannot be put on in XS or S sizes, so I went with an L. (The L was still snug, but probably a good size. I didnt try on an XL.)
This is probably a great shirt for a young fit surfer. I'm fairly fit for 69yo, 150lbs, but it was uncomfortably tight for me. I wanted a shirt to wear in the surf while fishing. Might have chosen the wrong item.
Sorry to hear about the confusion, Fred! You are correct. This is one of our tight-fitting, rash guard-style sun protection shirts. Meant more for activities in the waves. It sounds like you were looking for something more like the [Men's Capilene Cool Daily Graphic Shirt](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-capilene-cool-daily-graphic-shirt/45235.html?dwvar_45235_color=BOLW&cgid=root) which is a much looser fit.
