Where to buy

The Body Glove Smoothies Sleek Rash Guard is simple and sleek, as you might have guessed by the name. The minimalist design is free from the loud floral patterns you often see on women’s surf gear. The simple design comes in eight different colors.

The material is quick drying and provides 50 UPF protection, saving you from awkwardly applying sunscreen on your back. The material is also lightweight and flexible so you won’t be sweating in between sets and your movement will be unrestricted. The stitching is smooth and unnoticeable, preventing chafing. The UPF protection, lightweight and flexible material, and absence of uncomfortable stitching make this rash guard a great option for long days in the water.

This rash guard has no board short connector, which is a bit of a bummer as it can ride up slightly while paddling, though it seems to be a minor issue. The Body Glove Smoothies Sleek rash guard falls in the middle of the typical price range and is worth the money.
