Scubapro UPF-50 Channel Flow Long Sleeve Mens Rash Guard - Aegean
The Ideal Attire for all Outdoor Sports
Enjoy all-day protection without sacrificing style wearing a comfortable long sleeve CHANNEL FLOW rash guard, available in a choice of new colors along with UPF 50 UV protection.
Where individuality and high performance meet, the unique channel flow construction of the long sleeve CHANNEL FLOW rash guard features a one-way wicking design that pushes moisture away from the body and toward the surface layer where it can evaporate faster. The high quality polyester material and loose fit design enhance comfort and help keep the skin dry. This also allows the fabric itself to dry very quickly.
High quality polyester offers nice hand feel and provides good color fastness - especially in the lighter colors. Polyester is comfortable yet durable, abrasion-resistant, and it does a good job of retaining its shape after repeated use.
Designed to perform, worn to be different, the long sleeve CHANNEL FLOW rash guard is perfect for before and after diving - and everything in between.

Understanding UV Ratings
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) and SPF (Sun Protection Factor) are both standards used to measure the effects of the sun on your skin. However, they employ different approaches.
- SPF ratings are indications of the level of skin reddening; they are used primarily to measure the protective qualities of sunscreen.
- UPF ratings measure the amount of UV radiation that a fabric blocks. For example, a garment with a rating of UPF 50 means that the garment blocks 98% of UV radiation.
- UPF ratings above 50 are considered to be in the "Excellent" Protection Category. All of SCUBAPRO's UPF collection are rated UPF 50, except for the top-of-the line T-Flex which is rated UPF 80, the highest protection rating available in the industry.
UPF-50
UPF ratings of 50 and above are considered to be in the “Excellent” Protection Category. All models in SCUBAPRO’s UPF collection are rated 50 or more.
