Review on ๐Ÿ‘• O'Neill Men's Basic Skins: Ultimate Protection with UPF 50+ in a Short Sleeve Sun Shirt by Bryan Orozco

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Classic O'Neill Surfware

This shirt is exactly as advertised. I have used O'Neill products for many years and the overall quality has almost always been top notch. The shirt adapts to your body, especially when wet. The elastane/nylon material used in the shirt is heavier than the polyester/spandex that O'Neill uses in its "hybrid" shirts. Both types of shirts are said to be slim fit, but the hybrid shirts are definitely looser. Built for heavy use, this shirt is excellent at blocking UV rays when you're in the water for hours. In addition to UV protection, it is dense enough to keep a small body in cooler water. * Please note that it must be hand washed. I use a bar of soap and rinse it out in the sink. I've noticed that some people complain about the ripples on the shirt, which can happen when machine washed. I wouldn't buy a white shirt either as river/seaweed can stain it (and it's not machine washable).

Pros
  • UPF 50+ Ratio 6 oz Polyester/Spandex 4-way stretch
Cons
  • I'll Be Quiet
