What the AI looks for in Baby Boys' Rash Guard Shirts
- UPF label
- Look for fabric labelled UPF 50+. Untested swim lycra can let through more UV, especially when wet and stretched.
- Sleeve length
- Prefer long sleeves for babies. Shoulders and upper arms burn first in the water.
- Neck opening
- Choose a front zip or a wide envelope neck. A wet, tight neckline is hard to get over a baby's head.
- Chlorine resistance
- Polyester-rich blends outlast high-spandex blends in pool water. Chlorine breaks down spandex, which leaves the shirt baggy and thin.
Brands that matter
- UV Skinz: Full-coverage UPF swimwear for kids.
- Coolibar: Sun-protective clothing specialist.
- Hudson Baby: Low-cost baby rash guard sets.
What to avoid
- Short-sleeve rash guards for long sun exposure.
- Rash guards with no stated UPF label.
