"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""This is the most dialed rashguard I’ve ever worn for windy, tropical sessions. The Windshield coating completely blocks wind and doesn’t absorb water, which is a game changer for long paddles and surf days. Heads up—it fits tight, so I always size up."" When the tradewinds kick up and the sun refuses to let off, the Florence Marine X Windshield Long-Sleeve Hooded Rashguard steps in as a best-in-class barrier between you and the elements. Evolving from the cult-favorite original rashguard, the Windshield version takes protection further with an advanced coated outer layer that blocks wind entirely and absorbs zero water—making it an instant essential for serious water athletes in tropical conditions. Built with a highly compressive fit for muscle support and minimal drag, this rashguard features a three-panel hood, UPF 100+ body rating, and a recycled polyethylene visor that won’t dig into your forehead. Flatlock stitching, raglan sleeves, and 4-way stretch construction provide total mobility and comfort during long sessions, while the internal boardshort tie loop keeps everything secure in powerful conditions. When long hours in the ocean are the norm, this is the piece we trust to go the distance."
