INCREDIBLY SMALL good for water sports

Yes, other reviewers commented on how small this shirt is and how much it has to stretch to fit snugly to your body. It's hard to appreciate how small and how tight it is until you actually buy one of these things, so I'm posting a photo of the XL shirt I have. The shoulder width is just over 18 inches (the full length of the ruler). above) and the width at the waist/hips is approximately 14 inches (ie a foot length ruler below). A picture is worth a thousand words and that picture alone would…

Cons
  • Not the best

Rashguards with short sleeves close-fitting

5'9, 155-160 lbs. My husband has tried medium and large rashguards. still snug but not too bad, problem is the big one is too long and probably only fits someone who is 6ft tall. could see the benefits but not ideal for swimming and lounging around the pool or beach. I ended up sending both short sleeve rashguards back. The long sleeve rash guard fitted much better and I ended up going for the medium one. twice without sunburn.

Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Don't bother with swimming trunks

I've been looking for the perfect swimming trunks for a few years. I bought a few that were specifically marketed as men's swim trunks; designed to be worn out of the water as sun protection. They are generally baggy t-shirts made from gym wear material that flap and bounce in the water and then become very heavy and uncomfortably tight out of the water (e.g. in a weighted shirt). However, this shirt is worn as a wetsuit; Tight like a second skin that won't pucker or shift as you enter or exit…

Cons
  • There are problems

Works great finding the right size

After 6 orders and 5 returns I found the one that fits me. I used it snorkeling in Hawaii and it worked great. Here is my understanding of the sizing issue: 1. They are very small; You should order two sizes larger than you are, and 2. the manufacturing process is inconsistent (i.e. poor quality control) so two shirts in the same stated size (s, m, l, etc.) can vary significantly in actual fit. .I'm 5'10 and 155 pounds and I'm a solid "medium" in shirts. I'm an active snorkeler and have worn…

Cons
  • Communication with seller

Short sleeve rashguards are snug fitting

5ft 9in 155-160 lbs. My husband has tried medium and large rashguards. Mids were incredibly tight throughout, but the descent matches the length; The large was still snug but not too bad, the problem is the large is too long and will probably only fit someone who is 6ft tall. In water where you'd be scratching your belly on the reefs I could see the merit, but not ideal for swimming and lounging around the pool or beach. I ended up sending both short sleeve rashguards back. The long sleeve…

Pros
  • Men's
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about this, everything is fine

Don't bother with "swim shirts "

Pros
  • Diving and Snorkeling
Cons
  • Expensive
