Review on Stay Stylish And Protected: AXESEA Women'S Long Sleeve Rash Guard With UV UPF 50+ Sun Protection For Beach And Surfing Fun by Joe Gilmartin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality, long sleeves, really nice suit! Be careful with the zipper!

Like many of these 'bargain' (not made-in-USA) rashguard type suits, you definitely will want to go up 1 size - but the description of the sizes is accurate. These are not as far off size-wise as many of the others I've tried, however.For reference, I wear L in Nike; XL in Daci and Axesea rashguards; and XXL in Baleaf. Hope that helps.I have bought about 6 of these and worn the heck out of them. They are durable and awesome. But I did have 1 zipper break on me. The risky part is when you're putting the suit on, pulling up your arm and shoulder, because so much strain is at the "V" bottom of the zipper, where it is weak and so much pressure on the teeth and pull. It was broken-broken. I was able to reset the "pull" but some teeth had popped out, so it was really unfixable. The suit was worn out enough that i just called it 'done'. I try to be extra careful now, and i haven't had any problems with any of my other suits. Hold the material, if you can, while it's at that max stress point, so that the stress isn't on the zipper.These are BEAUTIFUL rashguardsl The quality of the material is VERY NICE! Well made! The body of the suit is polyester, not nylon, which means it's rugged but it might be more likely to bleach in a highly chlorinated pool. Just beware of that. But the material feels so nice -- it's a perfect thickness. I have ordered white stripe, green stripe, orange, and mystery, and they are all very nice and extremely well made.The removable pads are too thick and push-up, so i removed them and I like it much better without them, but ymmv.Bottom line, I have tried many of these suits on Revain. Daci, Axesea, Yateen and Baleaf are the best. Axesea are the roomiest and most forgiving. I like Daci and Axesea the best overall. Good quality, well made. Daci have sewn-in breast pads, Axesea's pads are removable. So that might matter to you.Also, the Axesea sleeves are long, with thumb holes. So very good for active watersports, but the length might be annoying if you're just wearing this for fashion reasons.I have actually slept in these suits, they're so comfortable you can. In fact, they're almost the perfect thing to sleep in because if you toss and turn, you won't get tangled in the sheets.

Pros
  • Dries quickly after getting wet.
Cons
  • It's not suitable for all skin types
