Review on ☀️ UPF50+ Aqua Design Women's Short Sleeve Rashguard Swim Shirt: Effective Sun Protection by Robert Sample

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Order more - but an AMAZING swim shirt!

I have red hair and I just went on a trip to Thailand in the hot season. My sister insisted (1) to avoid severe sunburn, as I've had in the past, and (2) in accordance with local modesty, that I buy a new bathing suit. It was the first time I wore a rashguard swimsuit. I ordered the trunks and then covered my top with this shirt, the Aqua Designs Loose Fit Rash Guard UPF 50+ Surf Swim Rashie. Following the size chart I ordered 3x at first (my normal t-shirt size too) thinking it would be semi tight but would work. When I tried this on 3 times it was so tight it slipped down my torso over my swim trunks. Save 3x because I'm losing weight. I ordered 4x to get my best fit yet. For reference, my waist was 46 inches, hips 52 inches, bust 51 inches. The 4x is still form fitting but stays put wet or dry and is actually quite flattering. - tankini too big. In the water the swim shirt stayed in place and was very comfortable. The 4x I ordered is light blue so it was very comfortable (cooler than black swim trunks) out of the water. I was concerned that the light blue color would not go that well with the black bottoms and also the 3x royal blue I ordered, but the blue actually has a bit of gray in it so it went even better with it. I think the more muted colors were also more flattering than the light royal blue. The royal blue is definitely beautiful, although it's quite light. Oh, the shirt didn't swell when I was in the sea. It stayed perfectly in place, allowed full range of motion and not when I got out of the water the shirt was a little sticky but that was easily fixed by simply lifting the bottom of the shirt outwards a bit and then that Shirt left in place. Before I went to the sea, the clothes were comfortable enough and modest enough that I felt great eating breakfast in them without covering myself. at a resort than worrying about my imperfect physique. And I did NOT get a tan! This is probably the first. I applied sunscreen to the face, neck, and arms not covered by the shirt, but did not apply sunscreen to the areas covered by the shirt. Oh I hand washed the shirt too and it was completely dry in a few hours. Now that I have this shirt - and the next size down if I lose weight - I'll be wearing it in the pool all summer here in the US. This shirt allows me to swim without the fear of sunburn that I've always had. As soon as the 3x is too small for me, I order the next size smaller in the same shirt. I definitely recommend it!

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
