Another great thing about them is that they have free shipping. (Plus, I have their credit card, so any returns ship back for free too). If you do try Lands End and don't like it, you can also return those for free at any Sears store too. Either one should be ok- just check the reviews for the fit, but my guess is the quality would be about the same for both. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2726377 Wed, 19 Apr 2017 14:43:46 +0000 Iced Tea 2726377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a couple on Amazon. I ended up keeping the one with a zipper because it was so much easier to get on and off. Something to consider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2726336 Wed, 19 Apr 2017 13:31:18 +0000 LulaBee 2726336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lahela017: I don't have stores near me and don't want to order from multiple places. I'm bigger around the middle (hello, diastasis recti) so maybe LL Bean would be better because it's boxy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2726334 Wed, 19 Apr 2017 13:30:29 +0000 LulaBee 2726334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: that's cute. I like pockets!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2726131 Wed, 19 Apr 2017 08:34:10 +0000 Lahela017 2726131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha!! I was going to recommend Land's End and LL Bean, but I see those are already the ones you are looking at. Both are great quality- but have different fits. If you are able, I would see if you can try them on. I've found LL Bean's things slightly more boxy usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2726067 Wed, 19 Apr 2017 05:42:41 +0000 honeybear 2726067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LulaBee: The Pacificas are fine for sun protection if you want to go that route. I use mine for swimming all the time and have never been burned. I really like the arm pocket on mine. Nice to have a spot to stick the shells and sea glass my son hands me. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2726048 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 21:43:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2726048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Athleta!

Whenever I get warm I just wet it. Then I stay nice and cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725978 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 18:10:35 +0000 ksnow 2725978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have lands end and llbean ones and both are "fine". Athleta and coolibar have some nice ones for a splurge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725975 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 17:50:45 +0000 LulaBee 2725975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: not actually surfing- just pool and maybe beach with the kids. I'm prone to skin cancer though, so thick sounds good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725974 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 17:49:15 +0000 LulaBee 2725974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: they don't have the tunic in my size :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725973 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 17:48:23 +0000 LulaBee 2725973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. My mom has 30% off at Lands End, so it looks like I'm going to order from there. I feel weird because I always wear black suits but don't think a black rash guard is a good idea. I'm not really a floral/bright color person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725904 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 14:57:21 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2725904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: that's great to hear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725890 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 14:42:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 2725890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the tunic one @catgirl: posted from lands end and I like it, though I hardly went swimming in it, I only wore it to a splashpad type thing with the toddler. It fits looser, more like a t shirt than bathing suit. </p> <p>I also really like the athleta Pacifica one I have. Mine has cap sleeves so def still need sunscreen on my arms but it saves me having to do my shoulders and back. The fabric is thinner so I feel like it would wear out more quickly but it's cooler, even in black. </p> <p>@Mrs. Goose: I wear a sports bra or bikini top underneath. I don't put sunscreen underneath but since neither of mine are long sleeve I still put it on my arms and my neck. Never gotten a burn through one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725878 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 14:30:29 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2725878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: @tinyperson: thanks! Do you need to put sunscreen on underneath? And so you find it helps with sunburn? I think I'm going to look into one of these vs a one piece swimsuit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725867 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 14:22:28 +0000 snowjewelz 2725867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: Yes on top of another top... I def need another top since I'm busty... The girls cannot swing free lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725862 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 14:16:21 +0000 tinyperson 2725862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: my black one isn't bad heat wise, and I wear either a bikini top, a one piece or a sports bra under it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725846 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 14:02:13 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2725846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is probably a dumb question, but you wear a rash guard over your swimsuit right? And then it provides uv protection? And I assume black would make you pretty toasty? I know I have one for my toddler, but because she's little she just uses it as a swimsuit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725824 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 13:39:56 +0000 tinyperson 2725824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LulaBee: I have the same swim tunic as @catgirl: and it's great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725819 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 13:29:46 +0000 catgirl 2725819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two from lands end that I have been really happy with! I think both lands end and LL Bean are good quality but I liked the fit better from lands end when I was shopping. These are the two I have:</p> <p><a href="https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-adjustable-tunic-swim-rash-guard/id_280883?sku_0=::BLA" rel="nofollow">https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-adjustable-tunic-swim-rash-guard/id_280883?sku_0=::BLA</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-swim-tee-rash-guard/id_246954?sku_0=::YO4" rel="nofollow">https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-swim-tee-rash-guard/id_246954?sku_0=::YO4</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725808 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 13:14:52 +0000 honeybear 2725808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Athleta's rash guards. If you're actually surfing, go for one of the slightly thicker ones (I'm not actually sure if they make them anymore, I don't see them on the website!). The Pacifica ones are kind of thin and the zipper comes down too low to make them usable for that purpose. But they're fine as swim shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725804 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 13:07:48 +0000 gingerbebe 2725804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really happy with my LL bean rash guard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-recommend-a-womens-rash-guard#post-2725781 Tue, 18 Apr 2017 12:30:42 +0000 LulaBee 2725781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the market for a long sleeve rash guard. I've been looking at LL Bean and Land's End, but wondering about the quality of those compared to each other. Or if there is another brand out there that is better! </p>
