Verdict
Overall sentiment toward Nashie is overwhelmingly positive, with customers appreciating the innovative blend of sun-smart functionality and casual fashion. While a few users experienced challenges with sizing or fit, the majority praise the comfortable fabric, quick-drying performance, and smooth customer service experience.
Bought a Nashie for my partners birthday, it was a nice rashie shirt but the sizing was too large. I arranged an exchange through Nashie, which I also paid for the return, then after posting it through Australia Post as advised by Nashie. Waited for a couple of months and still haven’t received the exchange so I followed up with Nashie as to… Read more
where the exchange request is at. Nashie have advised they haven’t received the return, and will not exchange the shirt, nor provide a refund I’m assuming seeing as they haven’t offered me one. Australia Post only holds tracking numbers in the AusPost app for 90 days so I can no longer track the package. Even the text from Australia Post is only valid for 30 days. Terrible outcome for me the customer to have purchased a $90 rashie, then paid for postage on top of it, plus paying again for return postage, only to be left with nothing at all. I’ve only written 1 bad review for an online purchase in my life and I buy online a lot, sadly this is the second bad review I’ve ever had to write. Very disappointed with my experience and will not shop with Nashie again.
I was skeptical about the shirt recovery time and look after being in the water most of the day but I was so impressed I purchased another one while on vacation. This is the real deal. Show details
I am really impressed with my Nashie - especially the way in which their customer service worked with me to get the right size! The replacement got here just in time for a big swim party and many friends mentioned it and were surprised to learn it is a swim shirt! Show details

Honestly couldn't be more happy with my purchase, worth every penny. Product is as described and fast delivery especially over the Christmas period. Wore it for the first time at the beach today, amazing feel, comfortable, light weight, multi-purpose and quick dry. Shirt pictured is the slate grey and a (L) as I prefer a loose fit. Wore it… Read more
straight to the shops after the beach and it's definitely not a rashie, it's a nashie!
Highly recommend and I may consider others in their line. Thanks Nashie team!
I ordered 4 Nashies. 1 each for my 2 sceptical sons and one for my husband and myself. My sons didn't think they would get much wear, yet 2 days later on holiday they are wearing their nashies and singing the praises of the long sleeved shirt. Great buy!! Show details
Excellent alternative to a regular rashie, which I absolutely need when I swim outside. Looks and feels so much better and dries quickly. Took it away to the Northern Territory recently and it served me well! Show details
It looks amazing on me. The color is perfect, the size is spot on (facebook representative on messenger helped me). It dries fairly quickly but it does its job; no sunburns! And to boot ive walked in to shops and restaurants with it on and nothing negative has been said. I just wish it were more readily available locally (like at a store), and I… Read more
wish I had thought of the product. You seriously have a winner of a product, and I will be buying more!
Got one for me and one for my husband. Both run slightly small. But I still think we have the correct sizes. We love the look and feel of our Nashies! Will probably order long sleeve shirts to add to our summer wardrobe. Show details · 1
Love my new ladies striped, long-sleeved Nashie! It’s silky and lightweight, and looks so classy on its own, even with a pair of jeans. Will make a perfect, versatile travel piece as well as swimsuit cover-up and swim shirt, as it dries so quickly. I’m 5’6” / 110 lbs with long limbs, and the XS small fits perfectly in the shoulders, with plenty of… Read more
length to go past my wrists and cover the back of my hands (was worried about this due to the model photos). It’s roomy without being boxy and still cuts a nice form. It arrived with about 5 days of shipping and 8 days of ordering. Love it, and can’t wait to see the men’s one on my husband!
Bought this for my recent trip to Bali - and while my wife was slightly aghast as I walked into the water with what she thought was a regular shirt, this was the best piece of clothing I brought along with me. Dried super quickly, and dealt with the Bali humidity like nothing else I brought along did. Definitely will be looking to pick up a 2nd one at some point. Show details
This is the best rash guard I have ever owned. It is so comfortable and really dries fast. On top of that, you can't beat the fact that it looks just like a regular shirt. Show details
Amazing product from beach to bar my other half lived in his on our recent holiday. Love it. Can u do ladies please ???? Show details

The fabric is lightweight and very soft. I wore mine whilst travelling in the car as well as at the beach as I have skin that is prone to burning and skin cancers removed previously. Protecting my skin whilst enjoying the outdoors is my number 1 priority. I am so grateful for this attractive shirt. I will be taking them overseas with me as well. Great they weigh so little which is why I bought the brown stripe as well. Show details
My Husband is a redhead and needs all the sun protection he can get, so I bought him 2 Nashie's and he absolutely loves them and I will be buying more!! ❤️ Although the 1st time he wore it he went fishing and got spiked by a fish and put a big rip in his brand new Nashie.. arrrggghhh that one is now trashed! Show details
I ordered the Nashie womens mediun short sleeve in Navy blue. The fabric feels great & I love the style, perfect length! I'm not a fan of super long shirts or sleeves the end in the crook of my elbow. I have returned to exchange for a large as it was way too tight on my biceps. It was a little snug on my torso, even though I sized using the… Read more
chart. Unfortunately when I enquired on the sleeve diameter I was advised they are unable to provide that measurement, they only have chest & waist. Here's hoping the Large is the perfect size.
My hubby has the mens Large in grey, it's fantastic & fits him perfectly. I tried it on but it's huge on me. More available colours in the ladies style would be awesome
I love the idea of these shirts - had my eye them for a while.... then ordered one for my sons 50th birthday. He's hard to buy for, and actually Loved it and said he'd wear it a lot, as he out on boats a lot. I should've bought him two. Show details
Put my new Slate Grey Nashie to the test on a recent beach holiday. I was really happy with the look and feel both in and out of the water. The shirt dries really fast and it doesn't cling when wet. My order was processed quickly and the shirt arrived a couple of days later. I was kept informed throughout the process. Would recommend this product. Show details
My husband wore the shorts and the Black Palms short sleeved shirt in a triathalon last weekend and was told by a few people, he was doing it in style! He was very comfortable all day and did look very smart! It was extremely easy to pick him out in the swim amongst all the other's. Very pleased with all the products!

This shirt is as good as advertised and the fit was spot on. I'm a wider and bulkier man but the shoulders and sleeves fit perfectly. I will be buying another once more designs come out for sure... hoping for a Henley version Show details
Follow-up · wash care is a breeze. i've worn it out and stunned on how it performs at the pool, hot tub and other events. The fabric feels fantastic, especially as it dries. The collar rests fine. If you ever make a long sleeve Henley, I will be a happy camper!
Just back from a Caribbean island-hopping trip that included a good deal of moving from beach bar to ocean and back again. My Nashie delivered everything it promised and more. And it’s super comfortable in any temperature. Plus the company was a pleasure to deal with. Show details
Follow-up · Sand was not an issue for me. My shirt dried quickly and was super easy to pack. Don’t need to worry about wrinkling.
The. shirt looks and feels great. My bike riding sweat dried quite quickly. I haven’t tried swimming in it yet. Show details
Follow-up · Durability has not been good. After one hour of riding a bike in the sun with a small back pack there was significant roughening up of the material under the strap areas. Very noticeable and is not not a shirt I could really wear anywhere I want to look nice such as work or a restaurant. This has never happened on any of my other clothes including… Read more

I recently bought the Nashie Women's Light Blue Striped shirt and absolutely love it. It’s one of those rare pieces that looks like a normal, stylish button‑up but is actually designed for swimming and lounging by the pool. The fabric is soft and comfortable for all‑day wear, and it feels great both dry and when I’m in the water. What really… Read more
stands out is how practical it is around the pool: I can hop in and out of the water and it dries quickly, so I never feel soggy or weighed down. The UPF50+ sun protection gives me peace of mind when I’m out in the sun for hours, and the long sleeves and collared design keep me covered without feeling hot or restrictive. The relaxed fit is much more comfortable than a tight rash vest, but it still looks neat enough to wear from the poolside straight to a café or beach walk.
The light blue stripes look fresh and flattering, and the shirt feels well‑made and durable, even with regular use in chlorinated pools and saltwater. Overall, this is an amazing shirt for anyone who spends a lot of time by the water and wants a combination of style, comfort and sun protection—highly recommended.
I purchased one long sleeve (slate gray) and one short sleeve (beige). They arrived quickly (in time for my trip to Hawaii). I used the beige shirt several times. I didn't use the gray one, primarily because my wife said it didn't go with my swim… Read more
shorts (I'm colorblind, so....). The fit of both shirts was right on. They are comfortable. In direct sunlight, it seems like the shirt would be mostly dry within the claimed 10 minutes, but since I don't like to sit in direct sun, I can't be sure. It seems there was still some dampness for much longer than that. However, that said, I like the look and feel much better than wearing the typical rash-guard crewneck t-shirt (of which I have several and don't like the way they feel in water or out). I would be willing to wear the shirt to the bar or lunch. Also, the shirts look good enough that if not worn into the water, you could definitely wear them as a decent-looking, high-tech fabric collared shirt in warm climates. The build of the shirts seems very sturdy.
Follow-up · The color and the collar have retained well. While damp, the shirt will naturally smell like the pool water, but that dissipates as the shirt dries. Once washed, there is only the clean laundry smell.
Currently trialing my new long sleeve Nashie in Thailand. As I emerged from the tranquil blue water, reminiscent of James Bond (Daniel Craig) emerging from the sea in Casino Royale, I could see eyes trained on me as I casually made my way to the beach side bar for the first of many Vesper Martini’s. Unfortunately, whilst I was business on top… Read more
with my Nashie, I was party down stairs with the budgie smugglers, and was denied entry.
The Nashie is a great bit of kit. The long sleeves are easily rolled up, and then down when additional protection is required.
The cut is almost tailored giving a smart casual appearance. At 6’2” and 100kg, the XL is a great fit and comfortable to swim in and wear as a casual shirt. The fabric is breathable and copes with the humidity better than a tshirt.
Easy to get on and off unlike a traditional rashie and when teamed with a smart pair of board shorts really does transition from a swimming set to casual wear.
Hopefully some additional colours are on the drawing board as I would certainly buy again.

The shirt was beautiful and well made. I bought it for my husband and it was too small I exchanged it for the same shirt a size bigger. My only issue is that, unlike most online clothing purchases, I was required to pay shipping costs (about $15) for the return. Show details
I bought the Nashie in preparation for a 70 day cruise I am taking next year. I tried it out on a recent Vegas trip and I loved it. The best clothing purchase I have made this year. The shirt is so comfortable and is perfect in the pool. The fit is exactly as described. The order process was easy and the shirt arrived promptly. Show details
Fast delivery. I had to exchange two items as I had ordered the wrong size. Very easy process. The items are exactly what you see in the pictures. Very good quality and dry very quickly. I would recommend the Nashie product. Show details
These shirts are exactly what I was looking for. A swim shirt that doesn’t make me look like a five year old when I get out of the pool and that I can wear to the bar right from the pool. Show details
I bought the palm tree navy Nashie and have worn it daily on vacation, in the pool and lake. I’ve received very positive compliments from friends and family. When I tell them it is for the beach and restaurants they all agree I’m right, that it is just that stylish. I’m very satisfied with the quality of the material. It is wrinkle free, no one… Read more
would know you were in the water. I’m in the US and I had to return and order a size up from normal sized shirts. The return process and help with the exchange was seamless.
