SMALL NEW REVIEW

I ordered it for my 12 year old son. He usually wears the XL (14/16) size that this rashguard advertises. When we got it he tried it on and it's BEAUTIFUL! It will likely fit a size 10/12, so order one size up. The material is excellent, the logo is beautiful. It was too small and in addition to being small overall, it was cut a little short. Unfortunately we sent it back.

Pros
  • A little short for my long baby torso but nice and great sun protection.
Cons
  • Great color! However, the size is not exact, small runs will be returned.

Do not buy this product!

I bought this for my son. When it arrived the stitching was damaged and I immediately sent it back and bought the same shirt a second time. The second shirt had the same defective seam in a different place. He wore it once and the stitching started to unravel. This product is not well made and wasted my time twice. I am sending the second shirt back and will buy it from a manufacturer who hopefully has better quality.

Pros
  • Quality material and kept my son cool while swimming.
Cons
  • Too small for the size

Really good rash guard.

This is a great swimsuit for our son (age 8, 23" waist, 23-24" chest, 45lbs and 48" tall) - fits very well (we chose a size 6 based on the size chart) and the shirt is comfortable (not skin tight and not too big). We have removed the cut out tag. - It has been used 4 times on the beach and once in the backyard pool and has held up very well. - It washes and dries easily after each use. The in We didn't notice any peeling of the logo as noted in other reviews Overall really good value for money…

Pros
  • Bright color, good quality. Hard wearing....lasted all summer and has been worn and washed multiple times each week.
Cons
  • volume

Light color - easy to spot

I bought this for my little one because I read an article online that neon orange and neon pink swimming trunks and trunks are the easiest to spot in the water - whether above or below the surface - they are said to be the best colors for keeping kids safe and to be able to perceive them. So far no problems with this shirt. Fits well. Seems well done. I've been washed once so far and it seems like it's going to take a while to grow out!

Pros
  • Too small
Cons
  • He's too small and he won't leave me because he'll be a few days late. It was a birthday present

not very good quality in my opinion

Size small, one size larger. My son is 10 and wears 12/14 and 14/16 was just right. The bad thing is that he wore it 3 times and the seam came undone. poorly made

Pros
  • The kids didn't get burned so it's a win
Cons
  • The fabric is of very poor quality, after a single wash, threads and elastics hang everywhere. :(

Good quality, thick material, true to size.

Great rash guard for my 11 year old. He loves the feel and fit of the shirt. This is a heavier material that can withstand the beach and pool. And good sun protection! Overall good value for money and recommended.

Pros
  • This shirt isn't very stretchy or soft compared to others we've had. You can wear it but the quality is not very good.
Cons
  • My son always wears a large, I ordered the XL based on the reviews and he was still such a dope!

Decent shirt but not top quality

A decent shirt - looks good and protects from the sun. My son usually wears size 6-7 and size xs fits him. I wash them on delicates and hang them to dry but the logo on the front came off in the middle of summer. Not a big deal as the shirt still works, but it really should last longer. I'm fine with what we have but would not buy this brand of rashguard again.

Pros
  • Arrived quickly, fits perfectly and looks just like the picture.
Cons
  • This is very poor quality. My son wore the shirt once and it was already caught in the front. Not worth the money.

However, as in the photo

I ordered this sun shirt for my 10 year old son who is quite tall for his age and honestly a smaller size. It will most likely grow out by next year. So crap about that. overall it is good quality. Would like a larger size.

Pros
  • I ordered 14/16 and the shirt looks like 10/12.
Cons
  • The shirt is cute and my son loves the way it looks. However, the seam comes undone.

The stitching came undone after a month of use.

This shirt is a piece of junk. We ordered it in early June and within a month a few stitches had come undone and the front design was completely ruined. Spend a dollar or two more and buy a quality rashguard. This shirt falls apart quickly with daily use.

Pros
  • I would get it again. Stretched after summer use.
Cons
  • I ordered 14/16, came like 7/8.

Poor quality suits me

I bought 3 of these shirts for my grandkids. One shirt started to unravel after 1 swim and the other 2 after about 6 uses. Very bad cut.

Pros
  • My 9 year old loves this swim shirt.
Cons
  • I ordered it for my 10 year old son. It was too little. It would be perfect for my 4 year old daughter.

Good rashguard, sticker error

I am satisfied with the overall quality and design of this rash guard. It's attractive and functional. I lowered the rating because it arrived with a sticker error. I would have sent it back but we needed it for our upcoming trip. (We ordered another one in a different style and I will give it 5 stars.)

Pros
  • Helps regulate body temperature, keeping you cool and comfortable during physical activity.
Cons
  • Some boys may prefer lighter fabrics to protect against rashes.

Bad line in my rating

I liked the colors and the feel of the material, but the stitching was poor quality. One sleeve turned out to be re-stitched, as traces and holes from the previous line were clearly visible. I intend to return the item as it is damaged.

Pros
  • Item was shipped quickly and arrived as expected.
Cons
  • It said "Fits true to size" and it wasn't true.

Shirts are very short

I bought a size '8' for my 8 year old who just reached size 8 and an XL '14-16' for my 12 year old who just reached size XL. Both shirts fit around the waist and are a far cry from a size 8 or 14/16. When my boys raise their hands, you can see their navels. which completely defeats the purpose of wearing a sun shirt. Chest, neck and arms are fine. but the shirts are not long at all. In fact, I had my 8 year old try on a 12 year old boy's 14-16 shirt and it fit like his 8 should fit. moral of…

Pros
  • Fits perfectly! Such a beauty ☺️. Let's see how it holds up this summer.
Cons
  • The graphics on the t-shirt were already damaged when received.

Took all summer: my review

This shirt fits snugly on a small 5 year old child. We've worn it all summer and it hasn't gotten any sunburn and the shirt has held up well. I think when I first got it I thought the material was very flimsy and cheap but it really works.

Pros
  • Available in a wide range of sizes and colors, it's easy to find the perfect fit and style for every child.
Cons
  • It may not suit all boy likes or tastes.

Thin and too short

I ordered this shirt for my son, it's tight and shorter than he prefers so we'll be returning it. As he raises his arms, the skin between the shorts and the top is revealed. maybe that wouldn't have happened if he was wet and stretched, but he has a long torso so we're back.

Pros
  • Perfect fit for my son
Cons
  • Very bad quality. Thin and without much stretch. The stitching was bad and missing in some places.

My pros and cons

The quality is excellent / the sizing needs to be considered... When it comes to seasonal clothing, I try to order my son one size up. He is usually an eight in Target/Old Navy attire. I ordered 10 and it looks more like an eight. Little Eight. I would recommend ordering one size up, two sizes up if you intend to wear more than one season.

Pros
  • Versatile design that can be worn with bottoms, shorts or other swimwear options.
Cons
  • The material may not be as durable as other rash options.

The logo was torn down within a week

Good fit, but the logo peels off after just a few strokes. I will contact customer service to see if this is common or if they can fix it.

Pros
  • Linda combination traje de baño para mi hijo en su fiesta de cumpleaños 😃
Cons
  • We ordered 14/16 and they fit my other son who wears 10/12. The def size is several sizes larger.

Too small... - my new rating

My son usually wears a 12 so I ordered 12. It was delivered correctly but is too small. The size is almost 6-8. Although the product is of good quality.

Pros
  • As described.
Cons
  • Loved the shirt but didn't fit!

Too small: my rating

Maybe I understood that, but the shirt was small. Glad I used the basic wardrobe so my son tried on these and the swim shorts before buying them. Great feature. I got them because I realized they are for husky kids and not. Really a shame because it's good.

Pros
  • The kids are in the sun/pool for hours and don't seem to burn through the fabric after a month of use.
Cons
  • This shirt was 2 sizes too small! Suzecwaybup.
