Hi RJP, thanks for your comment. A 40yrs old respondent will be in the 40 to 45 group. We didn't include individuals younger than 25 because in both our previous research and in this research over 35% of the respondents were over 45 years old. Our clothes core market is definitely over 30 years old.
 
All the over 45s are one clump? :)

I couldn't finish my comment. Yes I was too wordy but hey, make me a rashguard that dries quickly, keeps me from being sunburned AND stays cool when dry and you'll have a steady repeat customer for the rest of my clumped up life.
 
Hey chillyinCanada, yes, one clump of over 45s, our most loyal customers and the really keen ones on market research :wink:. If you're one of them, thank you! You're not the only one to ask for a specific rashguard, but there are already so many on the market. Aren't all they all quick-dry and have UV protection? Do you think the current rashguards on the market do not answer your needs?
 
The three current rashguards I have go beautifully under my suit, dont dry quickly enough when windy or fast moving boat BUT more importantly, once dry and back on land, too hot to wear just as a sunguard. The material makes me perspire.
 
I agree. The problem is that natural materials, that would allow your skin to breath properly (ie cotton), are not quick dry. The ones that are quick dry, like polyester, all have that problem. To top it all, to have UV protection, you need very tightly and densely woven fabrics that would make perspire. It's a really tough one to crack but a great challenge too. Thanks for sharing, we'll do some research into fabrics...
 
Hi RJP, thanks for your comment. A 40yrs old respondent will be in the 40 to 45 group.

Then you probably shouldn't have included 40 as a choice in the "30-40" group. :D
