Review on ๐ŸŒž O'Neill Women's Basic Skins UPF 50+ Short Sleeve Rash Guard: Superior Sun Protection for Active Women by Frank Harwood

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does the job: Women

I bought this mainly to protect my shoulders and upper back from the sun while bodyboarding as the waves always wash away my sunscreen. Serves its purpose and does not burn. However, I'm wasting too much time tearing this thing down! After each wave I catch I adjust the bottom half which rolls down to my chest which is annoying. Reviews of other rashguards say it only happens if the shirt is too big, but I think the opposite is true. This thing is very tight, digging into my arms and pinching my waist - not to the point of being uncomfortable, just noticeably. My theory is that bulging hips cause overly stretched material to roll into the smallest diameter area (just under the bust in my case). I'm 5'3 and 140 pounds with a pear body and bought a large one. I would take a number or even two more. I almost went for medium as that is my shirt size.
