I'm looking at these two rash guards but don't know which would be better to get since one is made of nylon and the other, polyester. Which one is the better material? Thanks!

Personally, Quicksilver fits me the best of all brands and I favour the quality.....don't think the material much matters; both are designed for surfing and should be fine.

Says Polyester is more UV resistant. For rash guards make sure you check cloth Oz. You can really feel the difference in 6 oz. vs. 8 oz.

They are much of a muchness, feel the fabric of the ones you like and then choose.
Brand names mean nothing much unless it is something totally weird!
Often they are made in the same factory to different cut patterns and the label goes on!
