He never seemed uncomfortable (although I got some side comments from family about how he was going to overheat, lol--which he was in no way close to doing!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-sleeved-rash-guard-for-the-beach#post-1520028 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:49:26 +0000 lamariniere 1520028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long sleeves for the whole family! I love not having to worry so much about sunscreen application. I definitely feel like a huge dork in mine and was the only adult at the local pool last summer in one, but I didn't get a single sunburn and neither did my LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-sleeved-rash-guard-for-the-beach#post-1519781 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 11:28:31 +0000 shellio 1519781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! Long sleeves it is. I have a LS one myself but just bought last fall so I'll wear it for the first time this summer. Can't wait to not spend forever applying sunscreen :)</p> <p>@birdofafeather: Ha! Should have searched :) thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-sleeved-rash-guard-for-the-beach#post-1519587 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 10:41:07 +0000 mrsjyw 1519587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always used long sleeved! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-sleeved-rash-guard-for-the-beach#post-1519578 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 10:39:45 +0000 birdofafeather 1519578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just asked this question and the overwhelming majority said long sleeve, so that's what we got! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-sleeved-rash-guard-for-the-beach#post-1519539 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 10:33:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1519539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always used long sleeves as well for extra sun protection. He has never seemed too warm :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-sleeved-rash-guard-for-the-beach#post-1519353 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:48:16 +0000 honeybear 1519353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long-sleeved! I wear mine all summer, as does LO, and neither of us gets too hot. In fact, I think being covered keeps us cooler. Make sure to stay hydrated and take frequent dips in the water if you'll be out for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-sleeved-rash-guard-for-the-beach#post-1519339 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:44:18 +0000 BoogieBea 1519339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long sleeved rash guards were fine for our kids. They never complained about it being hot. I like the extra protection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-sleeved-rash-guard-for-the-beach#post-1519334 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:41:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 1519334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a long-sleeved rash guard at the beach last summer and he never seemed uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-sleeved-rash-guard-for-the-beach#post-1519323 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:37:59 +0000 shellio 1519323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning a trip to Orange County, CA this summer. We are staying near the beach for a week. I need to buy a new rash guard shirt for DS (age 2) and would love to buy one with long sleeves but am wondering if he would be too hot? Our gym has a kiddie pool that we spend a lot of time there in the summer, so he will be using it a lot. He is just so fair skinned and I want to keep those rays away! Beach mamas, suggestions? </p>
