Review on πŸ‘™ SwimZip Women's UPF 50+ Short Sleeve Rash Guard with Zip - Swim Shirt by Mensur Long

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great sunscreen but this item has its pros and cons

I wanted something that would protect my shoulders from the sun while swimming and it worked. I was talking about buying this item because it cost more money than I wanted to spend even if the price has dropped but it seemed like the quality could be better than the less expensive versions. I was also willing to pay more money to get a full zip code for easier boarding and disembarking. There doesn't seem to be many options with a full zip and short sleeves. I think the quality seems good although I definitely want the front to be lined. If it had been leveled I would have given it 4 stars and felt the price was more my money's worth. I also took off a star because, as some other reviewers have mentioned, the shirt is quite long and almost covers my entire back. This isn't a problem for me per se, but when I'm in the pool the shirt rides up and causes, um, an uncomfortable pull in the lower abdomen, which looks totally out of place if you know what I mean. It gets everyone laughing, which is fine since I'm currently swimming in our backyard pool with my adult family, but I wouldn't want to wear it in public. Maybe it's a problem with the full zip and not the 1/4 zip? Or maybe it wouldn't have been a problem if I'd ordered it medium instead of large. I do not know. Otherwise I'm happy with the fit. I wear top 10-12 in regular clothes and usually 12 in swim tops and full bathing suits. I am 5ft 7in and weigh 140lbs. I think medium sized clothes would have worked for me but I didn't want them to be tight, tight. but not too full to make me uncomfortable. Also as for color, in some photos it was a darker lighter blue and in others it was a faded blue. It's a faded blue.
