To need? Get this!

This rush is perfect for surfing, boogie boarding and bodyboarding. I spend so much time in the water (on vacation) and need to keep my farm tan spotless, sun protection is paramount. It fits better than most and the material is high quality. I like tight rash guards so they don't sneak up on me while chasing the waves.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • There are some nuances

Fits and looks good

I'm 5'6" and have a decent tummy during Covid so I'm around 167lbs. I bought a large and it fits me perfectly except the bicep band is too tight/uncomfortable. Black does a good job of hiding my big belly, but if you're super shy, it's definitely not for you and me. I would choose something loose. In general I like it, but the biceps tighten a little more than I would like, although they get used to it. I would recommend it.

Pros
  • Quality construction

Perfect! - Water Sports

I bought 8 of these t-shirts in different colors for a scuba diving trip in the Florida Keys so I didn't have to wear a wetsuit out of the water and still had some sun protection. while on the boat. They are cool! Convenient, unlimited and worth every penny.! I love the look and they feel like a second skin. Breathable and quick drying, they are great for all water sports such as water skiing, windsurfing, snorkeling or just swimming in the pool. The UV-reflecting material protects against sun…

Pros
  • Sleek Design
Cons
  • No Gun

Tight fit. great price

I am an avid surfer and can be in the water several times a week when the waves are rough. I used to have O'Neill products and now I have them too. I find them the most dimensionally stable and very durable. I usually support my local surf shops but the prices they were charging for an almost exact rashguard was double the cost of this item at Revain. I'm on a steady income, times aren't the best, so I saved myself $30. It's very snug, almost too tight, but I want it because I don't want the…

Pros
  • excellent construction
Cons
  • will add later

INCREDIBLY SMALL for water sports

Yes, other reviewers have commented on how small this t-shirt is and how it needs to stretch to fit snugly to your body. It's hard to appreciate how small and how tight it is until you actually buy one of these things, so I'm posting a photo of the XL shirt I have. The shoulder width is just over 18 inches (the full length of the ruler). above) and the width at the waist/hips is approximately 14 inches (ie a foot length ruler below). A picture is worth a thousand words and that picture alone…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Compatibility

Short Sleeve Rashguards Tight Fit

5ft 9in 155-160 lbs. My husband has tried medium and large rashguards. snug but not too bad, problem is the big one is too long, probably only suitable for someone 6ft tall. See merit but not ideal for swimming and lounging at the pool or beach. I ended up sending both short sleeve rashguards back. The long sleeve rash guard fitted much better and I ended up going for the medium one. Worn twice without tan.

Pros
  • Few Competitors
Cons
  • Appearance

Don't bother with swim trunks

I've been looking for the perfect swim trunk for a couple of years now. I bought a few that were specifically marketed as men's swim trunks; designed to be worn out of the water as sun protection. They are generally baggy t-shirts made from gym wear material that flap and bounce in the water and then become very heavy and uncomfortably tight out of the water (e.g. in a weighted shirt). However, this shirt is worn as a wetsuit; Tight like a second skin that won't pucker or shift as you enter or…

Pros
  • Best in your niche
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Works great once you find the right size

After 6 orders and 5 returns I have found the one that suits me. I used it snorkeling in Hawaii and it worked great. Here is my understanding of the sizing issue: 1. They are very small; You should order two sizes larger than you are, and 2. the manufacturing process is inconsistent (i.e. poor quality control) so two shirts in the same stated size (s, m, l, etc.) can vary significantly in actual fit. .I'm 5'10 and 155 pounds and I'm a solid "medium" in shirts. I'm an active snorkeler and have…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Everything ok
