rash guard - short sleeve or long???
many thanks for those who replied to my packing panic post. as always, responses were incredibly helpful
This might be a stupid question since it is the hottest part of the year to snorkel but I'll ask anyway. Short or long sleeve?
Also, how is Land's End sizing?

I don't know about the sizing. We have both ls and ss rash guards. There have been times where one of us has gotten too much sun and need the ls rash guard . . . But normally our arms don't need much protection. The areas we need a little extra help with are the back and shoulders. You won't regret the purchase, we love ours and wear them whenever we our on the water.

I prefer the short sleeve. The long sleeve rashguard that I have does not fit tight at the wrists when wet and just bothers me when in the water. My wife likes that it provides her better sun protection and the loose sleeves do not bother her. She also has issues with getting chilly in the water when we visit (Nov/Dec)

We like the short sleeve rash guards from Coolibar. The shirts are a bit pricier than some places, but are made well and true to size. My only suggestion is don't get white, because it's too hard to keep clean. We ordered black for our next trip.

Rash Guard
I prefer long sleeve; better protection from sun and scratches if the tide or another person pushes you toward coral. They are warmer but as a diver, I prefer that.
