I have this same shirt in a long sleeve, which fits in a large. bought the short sleeve in large and it's to small. So same brand, supposedly the same shirt in a different sleeve length, but not the same fit. Seems like a really bad issue the manufacturer needs to address.

Comfortable, has good appearance.

Muy cómodo en cuerpo y térmico

Well made and good for swimming.

great feel, but runs a little small, size up for comfort :-)

According to the chart, XL was more than enough but it fits like M, arms were strangled and not even the chest was ok.

After 6 orders and 5 returns, I found one that fit me. I used it while snorkeling in Hawaii and it worked great. Here are my insights regarding the sizing issue - 1. These do run extremely small; you should order two sizes larger than you are and 2. the manufacturing process is inconsistent (ie poor quality control), so that two shirts of the same listed size (s, m, l, etc.) may be significantly different in actual fit.I am 5’10 and 155 lbs, and am a solid “medium” in shirts. I am an active snorkeler and have worn rash guards for years, so I know when it’s a tight fit because rash guards are meant to be a tight fit as opposed to when it’s just too small. I ordered a long sleeve and short sleeve versions of the rash guard in medium size and they were so small, I literally could not pull it over my shoulders. So I returned those and bought the same rash guards in a large size. Those were similarly too small and I had to return both shirts. I finally ordered extra large versions of those shirts, and when I received them, the short sleeve version was an appropriate tight fit (as rash guards are meant to be) but the long sleeve version in the same size was actually too big. I kept the short sleeve version and returned the long sleeve version.So, trying to order the right size of this rash guard is as much a matter of luck as anything, but my recommendation is to start 2 sizes larger than what you normally wear.

Fits ok

Me encantó, la tuve que devolver porque tengo algo de “pancita” y pues no me quedó, soy L y pedí XL y ni así…

I picked this up as my $125+ Garmin HR-Swim (ASIN B012H8IRLQ) chest strap heart rate monitor was starting to see strap failure after only 6 months. The force of pushing off the pool wall each length pulls the monitor part of this strap down no matter what you do, you can make it tight enough that it doesn't slip but the chlorine / bromine and the strap design will combine to see the material begin to give way where the clasp meets and eventually even at the tightest it won't be tight enough to hold and then it will pop.Before that happens, for $30~$40, you can buy a solution in the O'Neill wetsuit rash guard (short sleeve). Then you don't need to over-tighten the HR monitor and the tight compression-style fit of the rash guard ensures that pushing off the wall isn't pulling down on the monitor as you now have substantially decreased your overall resistance with the smooth material of the top.If you've read about fit let me tell you this, I am 6'1" and 220lbs and when I first bought this and tried it on I thought, "Holy freaking Moses, how can this possibly be X-Large????"I looked into the return options immediately but then I was going swimming the next morning and thought, heck, why not give it one try first just to see how it goes.Okay, it's SUPPOSED to be tight. This is the compressed style of rash guard, not the loose fitting t-shirt style. It has plenty of stretch to it and once I got in the water and started swimming freestyle (front crawl) laps I realized the shirt was fitting as intended. It keeps everything in place and it's snug, because it's compressed. So if you order one and you try it and think it's tight as all heck, give it a wear or two in the activity you bought it for and you may find it is the right size and that the size does match what you'd choose for a t-shirt. I wear XL t-shirts, the XL size of this top turned out to be just right.If you're just buying a rash guard as more of a UV protection for your back and chest, consider buying the loose fit style and not the tighter compression style. This top is more for lane swimming, open water swimming in waters that aren't super cold, etc.EDIT Nov/2019 - some wan**r knicked my rash guard from the change room instead of handing it in to lost and found so I had to get a new one, have lost a little weight recently and got the LG instead of XL this time, once again initial fit seemed like maybe I got one size too small but by the time I was in the pool it was perfect. This is really a great item, virtually no drag either.

When I first put this on after receiving it, I thought it was a bit tight, and the bottom was too long as I had to bunch it up around waist just above the top of my swim trunk. It definitely felt a bit restrictive moving around. I was very close to returning it.However, my opinion surprisingly changed after snorkeling with it for a couple of weeks:- The tight fit is actually a blessing... as I swim & snorkel, it felt like a second skin; it stays in place even under strenuous movements under water, facilitating easy & wide ranging degree of freedom of movement. I had another brand that's much looser fitting, and I constantly had to pull it down and smooth it during my in/underwater activities.- It dries very quickly in the tropical sun.- Quality of the stitching is excellent, even after stretching it beyond normal usage while "ripping" it off my body while it was still soaking wet.- It provides great SPF protection - after snorkeling for 2 hours more or less continuously with my back exposed to the sun on the ocean's surface, my back has not sign of sun burn.Bottom line is that this swim/snorkel/surf shirt is designed to be used as designated in it's namesake, not meant to be a casual shirt that flops in the breeze

nice
