• Women's Swim Tees - Lands' End Swim Tees are as soft as a favorite tee and incredibly lightweight - even while wearing in the water. Best of all, Lands' End Swim Tees provide UPF 50+ protection against harmful UV rays, and these stylish swim pieces can be worn beyond the waves when coordinated with favorite summer shorts and skirts. Available in long sleeve and short sleeve, in a variety of prints and colors.
• Men's Rash Guards - The featherweight cover-up for swimming, surfing, snorkeling, boating, kite surfing, sailboarding, paddling, jet skiing — in or on the water. Easy-moving UPF 50+ stretch fabric screens out harmful UV rays, dries with just a few shakes, protects the skin from harsh abrasives like sand, surfboard surfaces and scuba straps.
• Boys and Girls Rash Guards - It's not easy keeping kids covered with sunscreen. Lands' End Rash Guards for boys and girls are the ultimate backup to sunscreen with a UPF 50+ rating, the highest possible, blocking 98% of harmful UV rays. Protection lasts the life of the garment, through lots of washing and exposure to sun and chlorine.
