This is the best thing I could have purchased for a Caribbean vacation. Out of respect for my fellow human beings I try not to reveal too much of myself in public. I am a knowledge worker bent over a keyboard 12 hours a day, get virtually no sun-light, have European ancestry that promotes a healthy fur, and am at risk for skin-cancer (including a keloid on my shoulder which could very well be my conjoined twin).... The O'Neill Rash Guard does several awesome things
1) Makes me look way slimmer because of the coloring and cut
2) hides imperfections
3) restores confidence
4) protects from the sun
5) fits under my wet-suit (SCUBA diver).

It is absolutely fantastic. They are made to be TIGHT. I purchased one size up from normal based on other reviews. So, my wet-suit is Large, and this thing is Men's XL, and does a nice slim fit (pretty much skin right). I like the fit, I am 5'8 and 175 lbs.

It looks fantastic, feels great.

Purchased from iSNORKEL - they are awesome.

Really nice rash guard with UV protection. I also read other reviews and got a bigger size due to the small sizing. That was great advice. The item shipped quickly and looks nice.

I love this! Last summer was the first without a sunburn from the pool. This is a great swim shirt; protects from UV exposure, doesn't weigh you down in the water, and covers the bright white, uncut flab underneath :). The only issue I have found is that the sleeves roll up when diving off the diving board...I see this as a minor inconvenience when compared to the pros..

I bought this for a recent trip to Belize that included lots of snorkeling. The shirt itself was fantastic. It was comfortable, provided plenty of sun protection, was lightweight, and dried quickly. As other reviews have indicated the sizing on these shirts is way off, I'd say by two full sizes. I'm a relatively small guy 5'10" and 160lbs. I usually wear a medium for normal dry fit type exercise shirts. I ordered a L and XL of this shirt and the L was too small, but the XL fit nicely. It was a similar story for my wife. She normally wears a small and it took a L in this shirt to fit her.

I know everyone says to order a size larger than what you normally wear, but I would suggest going 3 sizes larger! I am 6'3' and 350 lbs so yes I know any rash guard is going to fit tightly but I normally wear a 3XL tall shirt. This silly 3XL rash guard fit me like a halter top. I was going to send it back until my wife tried it on. She is 5'6" and 140 lbs and it fits her like a normal t-shirt would. But it is not too long which is ridiculous because 3XL should be down to her knees!! I have learned my lesson, obviously large men like myself are not supposed to wear rash guards. I will have to snorkle in my 3XLT eddie bauer t-shirts.

It was nice to get a rashguard in a larger size. Shipping was quick and it fit perfectly.

The quality of shirt and material are great but the sizes run small. The stitching does help revent rashes while kayaking.

I change my old O'Neill rashguard for this new, after 10 years intensive use for surfing, stayed XXL. Only one trick, this is not good enough to protect against pitbull bites (the uniques holes after all this time). Perfect fit, U.V. protection and free movements. Only the best. 10.

Wore this shirt last month on a cruise around the Bahamas, I'm allergic to the sun and this blocked out everything. XL is what I wear and it fit nice and tight, which is what I wanted being in the water. Great shirt.

I moved to Hawaii so I see a lot of rashguard, this one is well-fitting, and ONeill is the best (next to Quicksilver, which is more pricey). Cheaper ones exist but they don't feel as comfortable. This one is a good value, too.
