I assume that many of the highly rated reviews were written by people who are primarily in shape, have a toned build and enjoy a slimmer fit. But for those who are overweight, especially in the abdominal area, and really need the right sports top, it only adds to frustration and low self-esteem. I would compare the XL to the larger and even mid-sized models from most other brands. Adding to the frustration is how flimsy the material is, so it really does show off all your extra weight if your chest, arms, and stomach are larger. Ultimately it depends on how you hold your weight and where the extra weight shows up; If you have a smaller belly, these shirts will probably fit you well.
