Description
The Xcel Men's Premium Stretch Long Sleeve Relaxed Fit UV Top combines lightweight sun protection with the comfort of a more casual-fitting surf shirt. Designed for surfing, paddleboarding, swimming, and days at the beach, this long-sleeve rash guard provides additional arm and upper-body coverage without the tight feel of a traditional performance-fit rash guard.
Made from soft premium fabric with four-way stretch, the top allows comfortable movement while paddling and enjoying activities in and out of the water. Its UPF 50+ sun protection helps reduce UVA and UVB exposure through the covered fabric.
The relaxed silhouette provides more room through the body than Xcel's performance-fit UV tops. Wet/Dry fabric performance makes it suitable for water activities and casual beachwear, while dope-dyed yarn is used in the fabric construction.
Available in Orion Blue, this men's long-sleeve UV shirt is a practical choice for surfers who prefer a comfortable, T-shirt-style fit with dependable sun coverage.

Xcel Premium Stretch Long Sleeve Relaxed Fit Rash Guard with UPF 50+ Protection
The Xcel Premium Stretch Relaxed Fit Long Sleeve UV Top provides lightweight sun protection for surfers and water-sports enthusiasts who prefer a comfortable, less restrictive fit. Its soft four-way stretch fabric allows natural movement, while the long sleeves provide coverage across the arms and upper body.
Unlike a neoprene wetsuit top, this UV shirt is intended primarily for sun protection and comfort rather than cold-water insulation. It can be worn for warm-water surfing, paddleboarding, swimming, and other activities around the beach.
Relaxed Fit vs. Performance Fit Rash Guards
The main difference between Xcel's relaxed-fit and performance-fit UV shirts is how closely they follow the body.
This relaxed-fit version offers more room through the torso and has a comfortable T-shirt-style silhouette. It is a good option for surfers who prefer a less form-fitting sun-protection shirt.
For a closer, more streamlined fit, compare the Xcel Premium Stretch Long Sleeve Performance Fit UV Top. That version sits closer to the body and may appeal to surfers who prefer a snug rash guard while paddling and swimming.
UPF 50+ Sun Protection for Surfing
The Premium Stretch fabric provides UPF 50+ sun protection, helping block at least 98% of ultraviolet radiation through the covered material. Long-sleeve coverage helps protect the arms, shoulders, and torso during extended outdoor activities.
UPF-rated clothing helps reduce sun exposure on covered skin, but uncovered areas still require protection. Explore Seaside's selection of surf sunscreen and sun protection products for additional protection during beach days and surf sessions.
Four-Way Stretch and Wet/Dry Performance
Xcel uses soft premium fabric with four-way stretch construction to support movement in multiple directions. This flexibility is useful when paddling a surfboard, swimming, or moving through other water activities.
The fabric is designed for wet and dry use, allowing the shirt to transition between the water and the beach. Dope-dyed yarn is incorporated into the garment's construction.
Available in Orion Blue and Military Green
This version features the Orion Blue colorway with Xcel branding across the chest and sleeve.
Prefer a different color? Check out the Xcel Premium Stretch Relaxed Fit Long Sleeve UV Top in Military Green. Both colorways belong to Xcel's MLC45625 product family and share the same relaxed-fit construction.
Choosing the Right UV Shirt for Your Activities
A relaxed-fit rash guard should provide comfortable room through the body without feeling excessively oversized. Choose your size based on your preferred fit and Xcel's available sizing guidance.
If you're comparing different types of sun-protection shirts, browse Seaside's rash guards, UV shirts, and wetsuit tops for additional styles and coverage options.
Remember that UV shirts and neoprene wetsuit tops serve different purposes. Choose a sun-protection shirt for lightweight coverage, or consider a neoprene top when additional thermal insulation is needed for cooler water.
