Looking for a kids rashie or long sleeve swim shirt that can keep up with everything the day throws at them? Little Fisho’s UV Defender range is designed for kids who love being in, around and well beyond the water.

Made from lightweight, breathable and quick-drying fabric, our kids rashies and swim shirts provide comfortable coverage for swimming, beach days, boating, fishing and everyday summer adventures.

A kids rashie made for more than swimming

Why should a rashie only be useful while your kids are in the water?

Traditional swim shirts are designed with swimming in mind, but kids’ days rarely stay in one place. They swim, run, play, explore, eat, ride, fish and head home again, often all in the same outfit.

That’s why we designed the Little Fisho UV Defender range to work in and out of the water.

Our lightweight, breathable fabric dries quickly after swimming while remaining comfortable enough to wear when the swimming is done. Long sleeves provide added physical coverage from the sun, without creating a heavy or restrictive feel.

More than a kids swim shirt

The UV Defender Shirt is our take on the traditional kids long sleeve rashie, designed with real life in mind.

It features:

• Lightweight, breathable and quick-drying fabric
  
• Long sleeves for added sun coverage
  
• Vented mesh back for extra airflow
  
• Practical thumb holes
  
• Collar with zip closure
  
• Comfortable fit for active kids
  
• Designed to be worn in and out of the water
  
• Sizes 10 to 16

It’s a swim shirt when they’re swimming, a sun-safe shirt when they’re playing and an everyday outdoor layer when they’re doing anything in between.

Kids long sleeve rashies for Australian summers

Australian summers mean plenty of time outside, from early morning beach trips to afternoons in the backyard.

Our kids long sleeve rashies are designed to make those days easier, with breathable, quick-drying fabric and long sleeves that provide comfortable physical coverage from the sun.

Whether they’re swimming at the beach, jumping off the boat, chasing waves or simply playing outside, the UV Defender Shirt is made to move with them.

Kids swim shirts that go beyond the beach

We didn’t want to create a kids rashie that only made sense at the swimming pool.

Little Fisho is made for families who spend their weekends outdoors. That might mean a morning at the beach, an afternoon fishing, a day on the boat, a camping trip or a backyard BBQ.

The UV Defender Shirt fits right into all of it.

And because it’s designed to be lightweight, breathable and quick-drying, it’s easy to keep wearing when the day moves on from swimming.

For kids who have outgrown onesies

For younger kids, our UV Defender Onesie provides full body sun protection with long arms and long legs. But as kids get older, they often want something that feels more like everyday clothing.

That’s where the Kids UV Defender Shirt comes in.

Pair it with our Kids UV Defender Set for younger kids who are ready to move beyond a onesie, or wear the shirt on its own with their favourite shorts or swimwear.

Match the whole family

Sun-safe adventures are even better when everyone can join in.

The Little Fisho UV Defender range has been designed as a family collection, making it easy to coordinate kids’ outfits with matching styles for babies, toddlers and adults.

From the beach to the boat, you can keep the whole family comfortable, covered and ready for whatever comes next.

Kids rashies designed for real adventures

Little Fisho started with a simple idea: parents shouldn’t have to choose between practical sun-safe clothing and clothing their kids actually want to wear.

Our UV Defender range is designed for real Australian families and real summer days.

Swim in it. Play in it. Explore in it. Wear it wherever the day takes you.

Sun Safe Fun From Day One.
