I can't imagine wrestling with long sleeves on hot and sticky days!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2106274 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 15:29:55 +0000 kiddosc 2106274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>long. I got a white one last year and he never seemed too hot in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2106213 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 15:02:36 +0000 Foodnerd81 2106213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C wore a 3/4 sleeve one last week in 80+ degrees and was fine. I did put sunscreen on her forearms. </p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: I have a cap sleeve rash guard for me from Athleta and I really love it. I still have to do sunscreen on my arms but my shoulders are what always gets the darkest, plus my bark is hard to reach myself. So I would highly recommend it! I didn't feel too hot at all and it was black. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105858 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:58:24 +0000 hilsy85 2105858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long, but a loose fit so it doesn't make LO hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105829 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:51:33 +0000 lawbee11 2105829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105827 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:51:01 +0000 Tanjowen 2105827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both! If there is no shade or it's the beach, long-sleeved. If just a short dip at the pool or later in the day, short-sleeved. Target has both for $10 apiece. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105783 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 12:36:53 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2105783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think short sleeved too.

I should check our Walmart </p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: I want to try one for myself too and I think short sleeves would be good. </p> <p>@SeptMomma12: @littlebug: @regberadaisy: @ShootingStar: @mrsjyw: thanks, ladies! Maybe I just need to buy one of each so we can see what he likes. I don't think I will have trouble picking two cute swim outfits! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105074 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:58:45 +0000 blackbird 2105074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>short sleeved (well, more like elbow length). Otherwise E is always pushing them up and they get in the way.</p> <p>I got one at Walmart for $6.44! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105068 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:56:29 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2105068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i prefer the short sleeve. i had a long sleeve one and i was soooo hot in it and now i never wear it. maybe i'll get a sleeveless one this year so my arms can breathe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105067 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:56:04 +0000 SeptMomma12 2105067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We almost always do long sleeves. Gap and Old Navy usually have some nice solid colors that go with everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105056 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:53:56 +0000 littlebug 2105056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The LS ones provide better coverage, but I find them to be such a PITA to put on/take off. I prefer SS and extra sunscreen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105055 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:53:49 +0000 regberadaisy 2105055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got long sleeve for my toddler last year and she was way too warm. She complained the whole time and I finally changed her into a short sleeved rash guard. She runs hot like daddy so we'll just have to slather sun screen on her arms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105049 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:52:18 +0000 ShootingStar 2105049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the long sleeve ones because they have more sun protection. I agree, it's harder to find them though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105046 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:51:18 +0000 mrsjyw 2105046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>long sleeved! less sun cream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-or-short-sleeved-rash-guard#post-2105044 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 08:50:35 +0000 jhd 2105044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a super cute lobster rash guard and trunks picked out for LO at Carter's, but noticed there aren't as many options for long sleeved rash guards, at least in the boys section. Which kind do you prefer? </p>
