Great, basic rashguard
This rashguard is a regular in my rashguard collection, and provides adequate sun protection and warmth while swimming/snorkeling in Hawaii. I have several rashguards as I like to keep covered while in the water for many reasons (sun, jellies, warmth), and this one works great.It is on the thin side, so if you are looking for something to wear in cool water or need excellent sun protection, this might not work for you.For reference I am 5'4", 125#, 34D and a large fits good and snug.

Reliable UPF protection- must wear skin tight for real lap swimming.
I love this for lap swimming outdoors.Sun protection and good coverage. I am super fair skinned and need to be constantly vigilant about sun exposure.With this and spf swim leggings I can swim laps in an outdoor pool and know I ma not goin to fry.You must size down and wear it skin tight if you are planning to actually swim, not just splash around for fun.I have had other rash guards that weren't skin tight and they were annoying as F! Created drag, got air bubbles, I couldn't wait to get them off. They are fine for just recreation, but not for lap swimming.FYI-I have this in the short sleeve version .Swam in Maui wearing it. Felt great . But even with waterproof SPF 80 lotion on exposed skin, in one hour I had a tan line on my arms. That is why I upgraded to long sleeve.

Great shirt for snorkeling
Really appreciated the other customer who posted photos of this shirt so I knew to buy the Large size. I'm 36/38 C/D bra size, size 6 clothes. This was a perfect shirt for snorkeling. Comfortable, warm but not hot, fits comfortably over a bikini top, and arrived timely and well-packaged.

doesn't chafe, keeps out the sun, but not long-lasting with regular use.
Here's the thing with these rashguards- they run true to size, which means they are SKIN TIGHT (which is their purpose- they are designed for watersports, and any fabric flapping around creates drag, which decreases speed and efficiency...) so if you are looking for a comfy shirt to wear at the beach or at the pool while hanging out, go up a few sizes. I'm a distance swimming, I am 5'4" and 120 pounds and have pretty huge shoulders and I wear a small, but it's SKIN tight on me. It's definitely not comfortable, but it doesn't chafe, doesn't create drag, and does a fairly good job of protecting my skin from the harsh Florida sun. I still get a tan with it, but it's nothing compared to the dark tan my skin gets on my legs, so it's working.A huge issue with these is the quality control. I have found that every color EXCEPT black is pretty much destroyed within a week or two of wearing it on a daily basis. The black holds up for weeks when exposed to regular sunshine and pool chemicals/environmental elements. The color versions (I've gone through both the blue and white) seem to just turn into baggy, transparent, sheer fabric within a few uses, even when properly taken care of and rinsed well after use. The white fares fairly better than the colors.Here's a tip- after being in the pool, do NOT allow the rashguard to dry while you are wearing it- it will dry stretched out, and will not bounce back to its original size. If you want the rashguard a little loose, this is fine, but if you are looking for a rashguard for watersports and need it to stay slim-fitting, this is kind of crucial to preserve its fit.So good rashguard in that it doesn't chafe and keeps out the sun, not so good in that it doesn't last. But, get the black if you can.

Runs a little small
I’m 128lbs, 5’7’’ and 34D(chest). I ordered large and fits pretty nice! I am usually medium sizes but this fabric usually is pretty attached to your skin. The neck is slightly loose.

Amazing shirt
I'm using this shirt daily as I live for two months near the equator. I have a dermatologic condition where I get rashes from exposure to too much sunlight - I have to use special sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. It's been a month, and this shirt has prevented me from getting a single rash or burn - I haven't even tanned through it. Its fabric is light and flexible, but still sturdy. I only wish they made pants, too!

Nice but very small
I ordered an XS for my daughter, who is very slim. It's a nice product, but the sizing is way off. My daughter wears a 14-16 in kids tops. The sleeves were very, very short and the body was extremely tight. It looked more like a kids M than a ladies XS. I'm considering returning and ordering an S, but I wonder if that will be large enough.

Great for sun protection in open water swimming & great shirt for in pool lap swimming.
Great swim shirt. The long sleeves keep me warmer in the pool & sun protection in open water. I normally wear a medium in shirts but always buy rash guards that are small or extra small so they don’t stretch out in the water. This shirt works great & great price on sale
