The rash guard looks great and feels good. I got the royal/black/white. I read and reread the comments about sizing. I usually take a medium shirt. I am 5 11, 156, 32 waist. I ordered XL. Fit is perfect!

I'm very happy with the way this rash guard looks and feels. The material feels very comfortable on the skin.

Depending on the make and brand, I typically wear medium to large t-shirts. After visiting a nearby surf shop and looking at similar rash guards, and after seeing other reviews online, I decided to buy an XXL. The decision to go two sizes larger paid off. The fit is snug, but not tight.

I bought this item to wear during snorkeling and scuba diving in Belize. Being that I live in the Seattle area I rarely see the sun and didn't want to burn in the tropics. It was very comfortable and completely unrestrictive under water. I would however order one size larger than your usual size as I had to return the first one I ordered and reorder it in a bigger size.

I am very pleased of your product. I really like it and enjoy your product in the sun , swimming and surfing.
Thank you so much for giving me the oportunity to stay longer in the water protected from the sun rays.

I am a middle aged guy who is starting to train for a triathlon. This is a great shirt but WATCH THE SIZES - it is super tight and undersized. I usually wear a XL, ordered XXXL and it was too small. Like the design and the quality of the fabric but can't recommend it. I found the O'neil to be much better fitting. If it is the body tight fit you want, this is the one but if you don't have the super athletic bod then check out the ONeill shirts

This product is better than most of the other competitive products offered. It is thicker, works and looks great!

I usually wear a large t-shirt, so I went with an XL for this shirt. Since I was going to be wearing it mostly for sun protection while swimming, I would have been happier with a 2XL since the XL turned out pretty tight (about as tight as it appears in the picture).

The shirt itself is heavier (weight-wise) than most other rash guards, which is actually nice as I felt it might have provided a little warmth in the water, too. It frayed a little easily on the stomach after a few days of use, but that was probably from rubbing against a rock at some point while snorkeling. I recommend rinsing it in fresh water after each use to prevent odor build-up. If you do get to a few days of use without rinsing and notice some odor, baby shampoo in a bucket is a great fix.

Really the only downside was I thought it stained a little easily. I somehow got these streaks running down the front and couldn't figure out what they were from. Overall I'm pretty happy with the shirt and think it ought to last quite a few seasons.

The suit is better than the pictures and made very well. The size is SMALL order a size or two larger. This rash guard is better than most of the other competitive products offered. It is thicker than others we have pruchased, works and looks great!

As the other reviewers said, order this 1-2 sizes larger than usual. I'm 5'10", 165lb. I ordinarily wear size M t-shirts, with the occasional size L. I ordered this Body Glove shirt in size XL. The torso fits snugly, but not like a superhero costume. The arms are about an inch too long, but the sleeves fit very snugly so the extra length isn't a problem.

Great rashguard for the price - material is thick and it looks great. Fits is snug but comfortable if you order 1-2 sizes up. My husband wears a Large T-shirt (fits loosely) and we ordered the XL for him. Fits perfect. Great buy!!
