This is so much easier than putting on sunscreen all day long.

We are active and in and out of the water doing activities and really don't want to get sunburned this is our Summer Under Armour, it does fit snug so if you want to have a less active fit size up.

Some of the cheaper rashguards don't hold up to chlorine and multiple washing.

The new logos are nice also.

I purchased this shirt for a trip to Hawaii and used it while snorkeling over some reefs. It's a very tight fit, but that's on purpose. I wear size large, and purchased size large, and it just fit. If you're overweight, you're probably better off buying the next size up. I didn't get burned, and while I didn't really test it's rash protection, it seems pretty sturdy to me.

Being a larger man I normally dislike body glove gear. It usually runs small and is a bit uncomfortable. Not this shirt. Hey its a swim shirt so guys don't think it will hide that unsightly bulge that is your stomach, but it does its job and is still very comfortable. I own a few shirts like this that I purchased in Hawaii and they are a little thicker and actually give better protection, but for just swimming this is a really nice shirt. Another point is the price. Most shirts of this quality are 40+ at this price I'm looking to see if I can get them in other colors.

I don't think a rash guard warrants a lengthy review, but here we go. I've owned a body glove 3/2 wetsuit for years which has held up great, so I didn't hesitate to purchase this product. It's a rash guard, as promised. No complaints.

A word for those concerned about sizing issues: these are *MEANT* to fit tight. They are primarily designed for surfing and other 'extreme' water sports, where having wet cloth material flapping in the wind is not desirable. I used to wear a medium rash guard back when i was surfing and wore a L t-shirt. I have gained weight since then and ordered an XL (I now wear Xl t-shirts) and it fit exactly like i expected it to. it does NOT hide your belly fat, nor is it supposed to. If you're looking for that, order 2-3 sizes up, or just go the t-shirt route.

I could have given this 5 stars, but i didn't, just because I wasn't necessarily "impressed" by the product. It was actaully a bit thinner than I was hoping for, but there are also pros to such a light guard. Don't regret this purchase a bit! For the price point, highly recommended!!

Great shirt for sun blocking & swimming!
Keeps you kool too no matter how warm it is in or out of water.
But even if you are ripped & in shape, they run very small & form fitting.

I am in good shape & thought 1 size up was enough, but even my XL was a tight squeeze. Going up 2 sizes may be a better bet for most.

I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars just because there is a lack of good sizing information in the listing (save for the great reviews from others)

Overall, a great investment for fun in the sun!

This Shirt does what it is supposed to - protect from UV rays. I have worn the shirt many times in the Sun without incident or burning. One word of caution: This shirt is a tight fit - if you have a ripped body, you will love it. If you've had one too may beers over the years, this shirt may not be for you as it doesn't leave much for the imagination.

I'm diving, I'm swimming backstroke and other strokes, I like something I can wear over my bikini and take off when I go to the sauna or the steam room afterwards. This was great for that.

It's very comfortable and light in the water, I forgot I had it on and no more of my bikini top or bottom slipping when I dive, terrific!

I typically would wear a medium-size shirt. I followed some previous recommendations and bought two sizes up and got the XL size. I was glad that I did. It fit perfectly -- just tight enough. I have a slender build so it worked just great. The dark blue color that I picked was stylish-looking (I felt a bit like a superhero in the tight shirt) and I had a noticeable difference in terms of the amount of sun exposure my skin got when covered by the shirt. I haven't used it for snorkeling but I spent a good amount of time on the beach and in the ocean and saw no considerable fading or wear and tear.

Great shirt, very durable. I ordered it for a trip to Mexico and it was much better than having to worry about putting on sunscreen every hour.

Shirt is exactly what it says it is. Wore it entire week in Aruba ( washed it each night :) ) never got a sun burn, was comfortable, wasn't hot when out of water. Overall solid product.
