I am looking for a shirt that will keep my husband somewhat warm in the ocean water as well as well as provide sun protection. Will this do it?

The shirt will surely help with its SPF protection, but it feels to me that the shirt adapts to the water temperature quickly. It is a quality shirt. n I found it and shirts like it to be a little difficult to remove after getting out of the water, if they are still wet. Wait fior them to dry (that will be fast), or give him a hand. Good luck.

These are a fairly heavy gauge material. We wore them in warm water off Key West, June last year, mostly for sun protection, but they would help with some heat loss as well.

Well... after getting it wet, it really wicked the water and cooled me better than warming, but just wearing paddle boarding and dry it did keep me warmer.

Here's a little more info to help you make a decision. My husband is the same sleeve but a 15, sometimes 15 1/2 in the neck. I ordered him a medium in the short sleeve style for Christmas and it was really big. It was so big I almost returned it but since I picked it up cheap on a Lightning Deal I decided to keep it and trying washing it. It's polyester though, so it didn't really help. These shirts are standard wear in our neck of the woods (or should I say water?) ;-). They are not meant to be fitted but they shouldn't be too billowy either. The medium on my husband (who could stand to loose a few) definitely bordered on too billowy. They are very(very) wide and run big through the shoulders. The shoulder seam actually came down about and inch or two into his upper arm. For what its worth, I am going to try a small this time around and hope for a better fit.

Fits tight across the chest... though not too tight and is out of the way and does not interfere with movement. I am 6'2" @200 lb. Must be worn over all clothing so unless you are really bundled up with foul weather gear I would think it should work well. Lots of videos on youtube.

Yes it keeps the water warm if its sunny in the area you live in. I dont know if it would if you live somewhere that it rains alot.

Yes. It's great.. I use it all summer long and out water in it and it covers me fine.

I don't know, we live in Oklahoma where it is very hot and humid in the summer and my husband prefers his when out working a lot. He had owned one previously and lost it and really wanted another. I got two, and he once again is wearing his all the time.

This shirt will not stop you from swimming, and assuming your arms move normally without the shirt, they should function just as well with this shirt on. However, I should caution that this shirt will NOT cure your arms if they do not currently move normally, nor will it teach you to swim if you are currently unable.A more serious answer, this shirt feels great, like a typical base layer shirt that is a bit snug.

If you are looking for something light to wear over a swim suit to block the sun then yes this would be OK. And it would dry fast. Wouldn't recommend it by itself in place of a bathing suit. Wicks well. I have the white one and it is not very forgiving. Sports bra shows easily through it. Regardless i love the shirt for hot, humid runs. Works well for that.

I would recommend wearing a lightweight long sleeve shirt instead. These are quite thick, and most comfortable when getting wet.

I don't believe these rash guard style shirts are designed to keep you warm like a thick wetsuit would, I bought mine to keep from getting sun burned while snorkeling. They are thin and dry very quickly.

I believe it would. I walked a lot of the tough mudder I did due to foot disability and I was warm even with this shirt being wet. I would use it as an under layer, like long johns.

Sure could be, but I used it in place of a wet suit and it worked great. No buoyancy, but it kept me warm and sun protected.

I checked all sewn-in tags on the shirt. (I don't have the purchase tags anymore) It doesn't say regarding level of UV protection, and I can't recall. I would check with PUMA. Sorry I can't be more help.

I think it would be great because of how light it is. It's also a great windbreaker. I don't think you'd get too hot.

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price

Well this is only a rashguard tee. If you bought a wetsuit top, the sleeves would be tight.

The Over sized Bath Towel, XXL(39.5"x 71") would probably be a good fit, depending on the size of a person. As far as the microfiber towel, I see nothing wrong with using it for the beach. It would dry someone off much quicker than a cotton towel. Hope this helps, enjoy the beach.
