Let customers speak for us
I got the Michigan rash guard for my hubby and he loves it. This is the only place I've seen scuba items for the midwest and I'm a big fan. Will def be coming back to try out more
These are great! The quality is very nice, soft, and exactly what I was hoping for. Runs a little bigger and thicker than the martial arts brands, and even though these are for scuba it still holds up well in combat sports too so far . Very happy with this product
I usually think of rash guards just for scuba diving but I also bought one in a size up for outrigger paddling (I need sun protection but it also needs to be a "little" looser for that). This worked great. The material is slightly thicker than some others but ultimately that is for the better. Whenever you get ones with thinner material, it seems like what you want at first but then it falls apart quickly. These ones are thicker and higher quality - you know it'll actually protect you from the sun and it still feels cool and is quick dry
Very vibrant and stretchy! This is exactly what I was hoping for/expecting :) as for sizing, I usually wear a 32 waist, I ordered the small and they fit nicely! :D
Well, when i received my rash guard I was immediately impressed. The weight of the garment spoke quality, and the bright colors and artwork are nice. For fit on me I think the waist and wrists are slightly too large for me, but all in all its a great product, and the comments I have received from wearing it - Superb. I will order again maybe one size down next time
I started wearing these for diving and think they'll be good for under shorts when it starts to get cold running outside too
The material is amazing feels cold on the skin thick and soft and almost like a plush but in a great way I can't explain colors are great
I LOVE THEM finally a longer length in leg in shorts! Waist is super high - the pocket in the back in the waist is divided into two one fits my apple 12 pro max phone in and it’s secure! Super soft just like the leggings!

I love the fabric, smooth, good thickness to protect but also not too bulky, and oh so soft. Perfect fit. Comfortable to wear.
