Rashguard vs Hydrosilk vs ???

My southern California pools are all outdoors, and it's hard to get sunscreen on my back and shoulders. Can anyone recommend a swimming shirt that protects but still stays out of the way of the water (as much as possible) and allows free motion?

What have people tried?
Thanks in advance!

I have tried rashguards from several companies.The O'Neill Men's Skin S/S Crew Rashguard offers the best combination of snugness (no wrinkles), shoulder flexibility, light weight and moderately good durability (one each year, sometimes 2). They run smaller than T-shirts -- look at the sizing chart.

I wear a XXL rashguard but a L or XL T-shirt.
