Water Shirts???

[Barbillus]

Random question but I cant seem to find the answer... what are those short sleeve shirts that you can wear while in the water?
I think it is the kind surfers wear? Is an under armor shirt the same thing as this? Or is it something else?

Where/what store can I buy a good brand/shirt that will serve this purpose?

I am going on spring break soon and want to get one so im not always shirtless when swimming (I can burn easily).

Thanks in advance for the help.

It's a rash guard. They are just really thin neoprine (like a wetsuit) or some sort of blend like UnderArmour.Get them at any surfshop, diveshop, or beachware shop.

Check out your local outfitters. The North Face has a Flight Series shirt that, while thin, also offers 40+ UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) protection. The exact shirt is the North Face Flight Tee. If you pick up a white one you should look good while still being able to get in the water. Hope this helps.
