Review on πŸ„ Hobie Women's Surf Suit: Dive into Style with this One-Piece Swimsuit! by Toni Lewis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cute mother/daughter outfit but runs small

Suitable. I'm 5ft 7in, 145lbs, size 32in and usually size 6$. This listing says it's a "junior" size so I ordered L as I'm curvy. On arrival the tag read US L, UK 12. UK 12 equals US 8 which is smaller than I would expect from a size L. I haven't seen any other mention of junior sizes so I don't know. I don't know if this is a well known junior brand or if it is a misnomer by Revain. However, the suit is definitely small, as I would expect from an L. The fit of the L is good, maybe a bit more fabric so I could probably wear an M. I appreciate that the sleeves are long - being tall, many rashguard sleeves are short on me, but these are more than long enough (might be too long for someone with shorter arms). The suit has no cups or support but it fits snug enough that it's not a problem for me. If you need buoyancy, support, or extra coverage, this won't work. Based on my experience I would say that size for this item is L=US 8 and M=6 Quality. The print is really nice, the material is thick and the stitching and zipper are well done. Compared to cheaper Chinese versions of this design. Overall, the Revain clearance sale/lower price of this suit doesn't make it much more expensive than many of the off-brand Chinese-made versions that are also on sale, and the quality and fit appear to be much better. (I have a cheaper off-brand version and in comparison the off-brand suit's sleeves and torso are a little short, probably due to Asian sizing; it has built-in cups which are nice to have but slip over the Body a little; and the clasp is, the zip broke almost immediately, but the zip itself worked the 2 years I had it). An unexpected benefit of this rashguard suit is that some of the colors in the women's version are also available in the girls' version (In the Mix and Hawaiian Tropics colors were also available in the girls' version when I bought it). Be sure to check out the girls Hobie sizing chart (it was available on the Revain product page when I bought it) as the girls version is height/waist based and quite small for height.
