larger size - my new review

my son is small for his age, athletic but skinny, and according to the size chart he was small. I ordered a medium even if it was a compression shirt it would be too small - waste of time/energy and now we have to go back. The sleeves are really long but tight and even dry, he couldn't put them on and take them off. disappointed with the size.

Pros
  • Got this for my little one - washed a few times and survived the trip to the beach and still looks brand new! Highly recommended!
Cons
  • I ordered a size up for my son to wear next summer and I could barely get them over my head.

TOO TIGHT/LITTLE WASTE OF MONEY!

Booked last minute for the water park. Was disappointed that it was too tight! Not tight as ordered, too small, tight like wrong! Any or wrong! For example, the neck area was so small that it didn't fit over my child's head (he doesn't have a big head either - I'd say he's medium sized). HE DOESN'T FIT HIS HANDS TOO! It was so tight to pull his arm out let alone once on his arms it was so tight I was afraid his circulation would be cut off! Needless to say, we ordered it from target right…

Pros
  • Bought for my son. He is 5 feet 2 inches tall, has a slim build and weighs 112 pounds. It was a bit small but the quality was pretty good. i bought white
Cons
  • I grew up in my teens for my 10 year old. Fits my 5 year old with limited space.

Incorrect sizing!

The quality is good, but the size didn't fit. My son is 10 years old and very skinny and it says the right size and a large fits him but his sleeves and length are too short, make sure to order a size up.

Pros
  • The quick-drying material is ideal for post-swim activities.
Cons
  • Some customers have reported sewing or quality control issues that have resulted in returns or exchanges.

A happy mother is good for me

My son needs one of these every year as it grows like weeds and is so white it glows lol. This is great for protecting my baby's skin when they want to have fun in the water and in the sun.

Pros
  • This is a great shirt. My son wore it on our cruise and it was so nice not having to worry about sunburn!
Cons
  • The chlorine goes through it very quickly.

NOT SIZE! FITS SIZE!

March 2022. I don't know if other reviewers have stated a different manufacturer or similar, but as of 2022 these rashguards are true to size. I ordered the larger sizes because I read the reviews. Order the actual size your kids are currently wearing.

Pros
  • Provides additional protection against possible sunburn and skin damage.
Cons
  • Dimensions may not be accurate or consistent causing confusion or disappointment.

Mileage is very short! - my new rating

Ordered 2 sizes larger than my son normally wears. It's so small he can't even put it on. He's a slim tall kid and I've never found anything that's too small for him, especially when I've ordered 2 sizes up.

Pros
  • Prevents some of the harmful effects of sun exposure such as wrinkles and premature aging.
Cons
  • The rash guard may not fit properly or incorrectly, resulting in excess fabric or clumsiness during movement.

Too big my pros and cons

I don't like that all children's clothes come in so many different sizes, so this theme isn't limited to Revain Essentials. My son will grow into it but the sleeves are very long and the shirt is baggy making it difficult to swim (like heavy clumsy fins that don't allow for a better swim). I bought him another one, a smaller 2T, which I will use until he grows up.

Pros
  • Liked the style and coverage but 8 was too small for my 8 year old. It seems that a six-year-old child gets cramped. size up!
Cons
  • Small

Thumbs up...!! the best in my rating

Bought for my son for swimming lessons. I was surprised how well made this rashguard shirt is. The material feels dense and silky and is not too dense. Perfect for our active guy. He even wore it to soccer practice to protect himself from the sun. I already bought a backup copy for the time of washing. 10/10 highly recommended.

Pros
  • Available in a trendy blue color that suits most babies.
Cons
  • My son usually wears a size 12. I ordered XL (14/16) and it fits snugly against the skin. sooo small

It takes VERY little time! - my new rating

I ordered a small blue top and a small size Gap underneath for comparison. I'm not sure if the environment will be big enough!

Pros
  • I love this shirt for my son. I ordered a size larger than he wears.
Cons
  • Stretches like crazy after a few wears

I bought this for my 4 year old. It's hard for him to put his hands up his sleeves. The quality is normal, but I would like a looser cut.

Pros
  • The long-sleeve design provides ample protection
Cons
  • The blue color may not please everyone and may not match the style of the boy's wardrobe.

A little final review

The quality is good but very small. I ordered a medium and it is smaller than my son's other brands. I had to send back but the larger ones are sold out.

Pros
  • Provides peace of mind for parents concerned about their child's exposure to the sun.
Cons
  • Some parents may prefer a higher neckline for added protection from sunburn or irritation.

Strangely enough, corresponds to my verdict

However, the material is excellent, the shirt fits very strange. my body is normal I don't look like a pear or anything. But where the sleeves meet the shoulders, they're twisted or something. It just doesn't fit. Uncomfortable and short sleeves.

Pros
  • Machine washable for easy cleaning
Cons
  • A rashguard may not completely prevent the risk of sunburn, which can lead to false safety or carelessness when applying sunscreen.

Works little! in my opinion

Ordered an M for my young son who normally swims between sizes and medium on him and it was too tight and wouldn't budge. Put it on my 4 year old brand new and it will barely fit him and he has to roll up his long sleeves. Order in advance! I would have sent it back but we were on vacation when this all happened.

Pros
  • My grandson swims in it every day.
Cons
  • I ordered a large for my 10 year old son who is 4ft 7" and about 90lbs. It was too small, I am sending it back.

Starts a small new review

This rashguard appears to be of good quality. Nice and thick and I think even though it's white it won't be transparent. But that is very little. I ordered a large for my son and as you can see from the photo it is smaller than his old signature Cat & Jack tote bag which I put it on.

Pros
  • Made from high quality materials that are strong and durable
Cons
  • Great at first, but after a few strokes of swimming the material completely lost its elasticity and my son bagged a lot.

The quality is terrible. lasted 3 weeks.

Really bad quality. My son (4 years old) wears it in the pool for an hour or two almost every day and it only lasted a couple of weeks. The rubber band falls off entirely, and it's pretty much useless at the moment. When we take it off, the peeling gum slides over his skin and hair. I will try to return. Terrible product. waste of money.

Pros
  • It's a great shirt, but I would suggest ordering a size up.
Cons
  • Run little by little

Collapsed - my rating

Initially, we couldn't be happier with this swim shirt. However, the shirt literally started falling apart after 2 months. It looks like he's been in contact with a chemical, but the only thing we can think of is a spray tan. Attention buyers.

Pros
  • Excellent value for money and quality
Cons
  • UPF 50+ protection may not be enough in more intense or prolonged sun exposure, putting babies at risk.

Small size may be too small

My child is 50 pounds and will be 7 soon. Part of the upper body was a bit tight. Even trying to get my head in the rashguard was tight. I had to go back. I would take a size up but then I would think the sleeves would be too long.

Pros
  • Easy to care for and maintain
Cons
  • A rashguard may not be as breathable or comfortable as other materials, which can lead to discomfort or overheating.

Buy one size up, this item runs small.

My son usually wears small, but in this case I bought medium. It has a very thin and tight fit. I recommend getting a size up especially if you want it to last more than one season.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities like swimming, boating and beach adventures.
Cons
  • The rash guard may not be as durable as other higher quality options resulting in a shorter lifespan.

Very small - my new review

My preschooler is almost 4 and about 40lbs wearing 4/5T on top. I ordered an XS which is about a 5 according to the size chart. They were SUPER tight and difficult to put on. Definitely runs small and I would suggest going at least a size up, maybe even two depending on how loose you want it to be.

Pros
  • Perfect fit for my child.
Cons
  • The sizes are small but the arms are long.

Swimsuit material in my review.

I chose them to match my son's patterned swim trunks. It's made from swimwear material and not some weird shirt mix like other brands, so it's just right for him to wear to the pool so his shoulders and back don't even burn from sunscreen. Fits as expected.

Pros
  • loved this shirt
Cons
  • I was so disappointed with the quality. It stretched and became unusable after 3 socks.
