Excellent Sun protection.... Mar 18, 2009
By Live Outdoors
"KC"
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.

Worked great Jun 29, 2010
By Douglas A. Hughey 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.

Great value and great fit Jun 22, 2010
By John R. Vasquez 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.

Great for my Swim Class May 03, 2011
By Bea Shalla
"Abenteurerin"
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!

It's a Rash Guard, On the Cheap as Promised Nov 13, 2010
By J. Stone 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!!
