Every warrior needs armor suited to the battlefield. Yours is the open road, the water,
the weights, the trail.
The St. Michael Rash Guard is faith athletic apparel built for the believer who trains
with intention — a UPF 50+ Christian workout shirt made from recycled stretch fabric and
printed with Archangel Michael artwork that means something every time you put it on.
This isn’t gym wear with a cross slapped on it. It’s Catholic athletic apparel designed
from the ground up for the faith warrior in motion.
Strength in Motion: Faith Athletic Apparel for the Believer Who Trains
The Strength in Motion collection at Sean Williams Designs was created for believers who
understand that physical discipline and spiritual discipline aren’t separate — that the
person who trains their body is also training something deeper. The St. Michael Rash Guard
is the anchor piece of that collection: technical performance apparel that carries the
theology of the Guardian Collection into the gym, onto the trail, and into the water.
St. Michael the Archangel is the patron saint of soldiers, police officers, paramedics,
and all who protect others in harm’s way. His image on this faith UPF shirt isn’t
decoration — it’s a daily reminder of who guards the guardian. Read more in

The Catholic Athletic Shirt for Every Training Environment
Most faith apparel stops at the gym door. The St. Michael Rash Guard was built to go
wherever you go — open water swimming, surfing, trail running, beach workouts, BJJ, yoga,
hiking at altitude, or any outdoor training where sun protection matters. The UPF 50+
rating and recycled stretch construction make this one of the only faith UPF shirts on
the market that’s genuinely technical performance apparel and not just a cotton tee with
a saint printed on it.
This St. Michael rash guard makes a meaningful gift for:

- Competitive swimmers, surfers, and water sport athletes with a devotional practice

- Outdoor enthusiasts who train in the sun and want UPF protection with meaning
- Christmas and birthday gifts for the faith-driven athlete in your life

Frequently Asked Questions
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of UV radiation
from reaching your skin. This is the highest rating available and equivalent to wearing
SPF 50+ sunscreen — but without the need to reapply, and without the residue. For outdoor
athletes, a UPF 50+ rash guard is one of the most effective forms of sun protection
available, especially during long training sessions or water sports.
Is this suitable for water sports?
Yes — the recycled stretch fabric and flat-lock seam construction are specifically designed
for water environments. The St. Michael Rash Guard performs well for swimming, surfing,
paddleboarding, and any water sport where sun protection and full range of motion are both
required. The sublimated print is water-resistant and will not crack or fade with
repeated water exposure.
How does the athletic fit run?
The fit is designed as a true athletic cut — snug enough to move with you without
restricting range of motion, but not compressive. If you’re between sizes or prefer a
slightly looser feel, size up. For a traditional rash guard fit, stay true to size.
