Offers great sun protection at the beach for waterfront or surfing. Please see the last picture as I noticed. There are three very small, practically not noticeable spots, but I want to disclose them. They are on the back right hand side of the shirt. This shirt has been worn only a few times and it is in excellent condition. Great for temperature regulation and offers insulation and colder water. The snug fit helps reduce drag in the water blocks harmful UV rays protect protecting the skin from sunburn and sun damage, especially on areas like the top of the arms and back.
