Review on 🏊 Coolibar UPF 50+ Women's Santa Cruz Swim Leggings: Optimal Sun Protection by Karina Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Adequate and better than the competition

I recently purchased the Coolibar Santa Cruz shorts in size XL and although I chose them using the size chart they are quite large. Despite the high price, I kept them anyway due to their silky quality and light breathability. I like to dress up in dresses and wear swim shorts underneath for modesty and comfort (no more chafing on those thick inner thighs!). Armed with the knowledge that the Coolibar fits me better (I also bought a rash guard which turned out to be huge but small in the chest) I bought the swim leggings a size down and they fit perfectly! Slightly less belly bulge and no real sagging or sagging anywhere. I don't have loose ankles but that might be because I'm 5ft 7in and 185lbs with a large skeleton rather than just fat and muscle. I've worn the pants outside in warm rain at 80 degrees Fahrenheit and they dried very quickly and didn't get cold or hot. They definitely have a lycra sheen when stretched, but they're still opaque. When touched, they resemble a thin fabric for a bathing suit. If you're worried about dimples, these pants won't hide those kinds of imperfections, but they won't flaunt them (if that makes sense). Overall excellent sun protection, modesty and comfort. If they were cheaper I would buy 5 pairs.
