Protect the ocean so it can protect us
Our future is tied to the ocean. Its shared seas connect us through food, culture and sport. The home of amazing, abundant life, it’s also a powerful climate solution. Yet the practice of bottom trawling threatens to destroy this precious resource—bulldozing our ocean floor, undermining small-scale fisheries and deepening the climate crisis. Let's end this destructive practice, starting with an immediate ban in marine protected areas and inshore zones.

I've surfed and open-water swam in the RØ rash guard shirt. I find it easier to wear a shirt rather than repeatedly applying sunscreen.
I'm 5'8" and 150 pounds; the medium is form-fitting but not 1980s-ski-racer spandex-tight. The shirt is heavier when wet, yet I never really notice it. It stays out of my way while providing UV... Read More and board-abrasion protection.
I had a previous Patagonia rashguard, which ran quite loose in a S. These new ones cannot be put on in XS or S sizes, so I went with an L. (The L was still snug, but probably a good size. I didnt try on an XL.)
This is probably a great shirt for a young fit surfer. I'm fairly fit for 69yo, 150lbs, but it was uncomfortably tight for me. I wanted a shirt to wear in the surf while fishing. Might have chosen the wrong item.
Sorry to hear about the confusion, Fred! You are correct. This is one of our tight-fitting, rash guard-style sun protection shirts. Meant more for activities in the waves. It sounds like you were looking for something more like the [Men's Capilene Cool Daily Graphic Shirt](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-capilene-cool-daily-graphic-shirt/45235.html?dwvar_45235_color=BOLW&cgid=root) which is a much looser fit.
