Review on AXESEA Women'S UPF 50+ Sun Protection Long Sleeve Rash Guard Swimsuit With Printed Design And Zipper - Perfect For Surfing And Bathing by Chris Doe

First, thanks to all the women who posted photos with their reviews. I purchased the tropical (parrot) print, and the print that is royal blue with abstract large swirls of bright color. Both are flattering. Also purchased a style that had black on the arms and pretty print on the bodice, but my shoulders are too broad-- not flattering. I am 5 foot 3, 156 pounds. According the chart, a size 16 would have fit, but it was a bit big in the arms, and the 14 is perfect. The measurements in the size chart are accurate, but likely for someone taller than 5 ft 3 in. The back zipper is easy to get up and down, and it stays up in the pool. The fabric is fabulous-- stretchy and slick so there isn't extra drag, and much cooler (not as hot) as wearing a compression rash guard over a suit. I wish the mockneck were a little higher for sun protection. I'm in the pool six hours a week, and many people have asked where to get an Axesea suit. One fellow swimmer wishes you would make a tall version. The sun protection is very good for California. Don't know how it would be at the equator. Note that some Axesea styles have longer sleeves with thumb holes, and some have regular length sleeves. I wear an Apple Watch to track exercise, and it seems to track more accurately when the sleeve is rolled up above the watch so water flows easily on the watch.
