I am training for a triathlon after doing a marathon and many half marathons in my middle aged years. I think the quality/design and fabric is great. I ordered XL and I normally wear XL or L but it was way too small. I know the design of these guys is body tight but this one was way too small for me. Returned for another size. Would recommend the product.

I bought this as a gift for use while stand up paddleboarding in South Florida.

The shirt is well-constructed. It is perfect for our "winter" weather, and serves as a UV guard as well.

In terms of sizing, I was concerned based on the design of the shirt's fit (to fit like a glove) and notations on Body Glove's size chart. The shirt does run small, but if you order one size up as recommended, you will be set. For example, the XL fit a 6'3', 190-195 # man perfectly.

The only disappointment was the logo on the shirt. It is not as pictured, and displays their updated logo, which has kind of an "Ed Hardy vibe" to it. Nothing wrong with that, if that's what you are into, but I had bought this shirt specifically because it was pictured with the traditional logo.

All said, it's a great shirt at a reasonable price.

The actual color (I bought it in silver) has blue/aquamarine tone that is not represented in the photo, and the logo is actually a massive gothic-font, not the small one depicted at the time of my purchase/review. The light color has been stained some off colors from the sea. When you get out of the water, the shirt holds a lot of water, so if there is a breeze, it is quite cold, even in 100 degree heat. I bought silver because I was afraid a dark color would be too hot in the tropical sun, but in retrospect, a dark color would help the stains and the solar gain might be nice. I bought it for UV protection. For that, it worked. I bought a large, my normal shirt size, and it fit snug, as designed. I only deducted a star because it was not as pictured, and it stained very easily.

I try to be conscientious about the feelings others. I have no business going shirtless at the pool. With this one I don't have to worry about nauseating onlookers and as an added bonus I don't have to sunscreen up. Hail progress!

Great rash guard for surfing, I'm a hard fit and this was good for me. Should have gotten not the black one. Black, in direct sunlight, gets a little toasty if i'm not the water

The fit is a bit small as previously noted. Ordered an XL for someone who always wears a L and the fit was perfect. Used 2x daily for a week and the end threads in 4 places had to be trimmed... this has occurred on my rash guard, too, so I assume that it is "normal", but I figure they could anchor the thread better at the end of the seam or something? Otherwise, the shirt is great, comfortable, non-restrictive and the SPF factor appeared to be as advertised.
