I read all the reviews about these being sized small and bought an X-Large. My typical size is large. It is still too tight and I should have bought an XX-large. Not bad quality and appearance for the $19.95 price but the sizing thing has me puzzled. The product description should explain how the product is sized and what is the proper fit for this type of shirt.

I have owned a lot of rash guards over the years, for surfing, so I know what a rash guard should be. I think this feels way thinner than any I've ever bought. Worse, it is too short. I'm just over 6' tall and thin, I bought an x-large like I always do. It is just fine as far as tightness goes but it leaves bare skin between the top of the trunks and the bottom of the shirt. If I raise my arms it rides up to my navel and the bare gap jumps to 4 inches. It should have been made easily 4 inches longer at the waist. I don't know if a larger shirt would be longer, but it would certainly be too baggy. I have to return it.

This top arrived very quickly and in great condition. Bought this to keep me warm during water aerobics. I would probably order the next larger size as it is made to fit very closely and can be hard to get off when wet. Definitely would recommend!

I bought this Body Glove rash guard t-shirt for my husband and we were very happy with the quality. good sun protection, nice fabric, nice print on the front.
my only cons, is that I had to return the first one I ordered because the cut is really tight, and it was too small.

I love it, it's very comfortable, I also read the previous reviews and I'm glad I purchased a larger size.

I ordered this rash guard with the intent of using it on a snorkeling trip. This is a great shirt for the money. The fabric is light but strong and the color is great (I got Royal Blue). I took the advice of others and ordered up 2 sizes and I'm VERY glad I did. I'm six-feet tall and about 175. I normally wear a size medium shirt and I got the XL. It fits just right. These rash guards are made to be body-hugging, but I didn't want it to feel too tight. The XL fits great - not restricting at all but also not saggy or floppy. Perfect!

I bought a XX-Large. I'm 6'-2" about 175 lbs. Its really tight, sleeves are shortish. It works, but I'd hate to recommend to someone who is indeed "XX large."'The color is nice and it drys fast. If you use it to snorkel it will move up your back and you get a nice sun burn. I have to be pulling it down constantly.

Ordered this for a trip we were taking going scalloping, and knew my pale skin would be in the sun for 8-10 hours. I ordered one size larger than normal as the other reviews suggested, and it fit great. It worked as expected and was very comfortable to wear the entire day. I ordered one for my wife as well, and she had the same comments and rating for hers. At the end of the trip we thought it had gotten lost and we were pretty bummed and were actually going to re-order the same one to replace it, but luckily found it. I'd order another in a heartbeat.

I returned this thing, do not buy it if you have a decent size of head. Do not use amazon promotion credit to buy clothing. If you return the item that does not fix, you lose your credit.

Wouldn't recommend using this item in water, the suncream that I used on my face and hands discolored the neck and arms after using it in the water. May not be so bad if I hadn't selected the white version!
