Looking for a zip-up boys' rash vest

I'm really struggling to find a rash vest for DS for the summer. This sounds easy, I know, but I've spent A LOT of time online and haven't found anything suitable.

These are my criteria:
Boys' rash vest;
Long-sleeved (see next reason);
UPF 50+ protection (DS has very fair skin);
MUST have a zip as the pull-on simply won't fit (DS has a men's large head size for hat purposes, and has eczema in the creases under his ears so is very reluctant to put anything on that might get stuck over his head!) - I don't care if it's chest or back zipped;
Size 10-11 years or 11-12 years (DS is 6, nearly 7 years old but broad and tall, and has grown out of the 9-10 years one I got last year from Grass and Air);

If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very very grateful.

OMG. Thank you so much @redgingerbread I looked at Crew but saw UPF 40 and gave up. I didn't think they'd have different UPFs. Are they any good?

@GruffaIo

can't pin down the exact sizing from the ad but could the XS be worth a punt?

No experience of them I’m afraid! Hope you find something suitable 😊
