Ultimate Protection: O'Neill Youth Basic Skins UPF 50+ Short Sleeve Sun Shirt Review

Bad. I missed the part about it being a 'youth' shirt and I had to return it. However, I bought them because they are best for snorkeling in the sun. I have two others that I used in Fiji and they were spectacular. Although hand wash. they will last longer.

I bought it for a 10 year old child. It's very well made and thicker than the others but I'm guessing it's UV protection. This is good as it is thin and insulates from cold water. It is a slim fit and is ok for being narrow, but if your son is taller, please go up one (1) size.

When it comes to swimming trunks, this model does what it's supposed to do. The fit was great, which I wasn't sure about. My son's only complaint is that the material is very flimsy and sticks to him once it gets wet. I've bought other swim shirts that were thicker and held their shape/fit better when wet. That was the only problem, other than that it was a good buy. The color matched his swimming trunks perfectly.

I discovered the O'Neill swim trunks this year and my son loves them - we now have three different colours! I was hesitant to buy the first one because of the price but they are amazing quality and worth every penny. My son is a little insecure due to the slight extra weight he is carrying in the middle and these shirts are perfect for him as they are loose enough to hide his tummy but tight enough to feel like a swim shirt and not like to look like a casual shirt. .

Order one size larger. I understand that these shirts should be "fitted". The problem is that the shirt really has to fit. The size is wrong as I suspected. My son is slim and short for his age but is growing. I ordered a size larger than he wears thinking it would be ok if the shirt was too big as he will likely grow taller this summer. I'm glad I did as the shirt would actually be too small if I ordered it in the current "correct" size. It suits him now, with no possibility of growth. I'll…

My son doesn't go swimming without a rashguard I think he feels too modest or something is strange because he is not fat at all, he is a skinny twelve year old boy. He is about average height for his age and the children he goes to school with. I bought a size 14 because he also doesn't want his rash guard to be as tight as it should be. Well it fits just how he wants it, it's a little loose for a medium sized twelve year old but certainly not too loose for a swim. I think it fits perfectly as…

The great thing about swim shirts is their UV protection, the bad thing is they have to be quite snug which my son doesn't really notice from . However, this shirt seems to fit in general. He ordered a size 16, averages 5ft 4in and weighs 115 pounds and wears a size 16 on most clothing brands. Those familiar with Under Armor's slim fit for youth will find that the fit of this shirt is very similar . The sleeves and hem of the shirt are snug against the skin but still a bit loose as expected…

I wanted to buy a newer and larger rashguard for my son who will soon be 12 years old. He is of medium height and slim build. Maybe 80 pounds. The material was nice and stretchy as if it was comfortable. The neckline didn't feel as suffocating as many rashguards. I ordered a neon green size 14 hoping it would have room to grow. It was VERY short so I swapped it out for a white size 16. Basically it fits the same as a size 14, they are very short. and a gray adidas t-shirt in size L (10). As you
