Question

What are some good UV ratings for rashguards? What are some poor ratings?

Answer 1

Basically the UV rating for a rash guard is the about the same as wearing a tshirt.  If it is transparent when wet it probably does not provide as much protection.

Answer 2

Usually rash guards have a UV rating of about 50. Obviously the high the number the better you are. But rash guards usually have a tag that gives the UV rating of the rashguard.
