O'Neill Women's Basic Skins Upf 50+ Short Sleeve Sun Shirt

This top has been a game-changer for me. I'm very fair-skinned and usually take my toddler to the pool by myself, so I needed something I could wear that would provide some extra sun protection (plus I can't get sunscreen on my back by myself). The sea glass color is pretty bright (not quite as minty as the picture) and goes wonderfully with the blue/pink Lilly swimsuit that I wear under it. I wouldn't say that it's see-through, but you do see that I'm wearing a bikini top under it. I'm 5'3" and 130lbs, and the small fits perfectly (not skin tight, but doesn't float up when I'm in the water).It seems like lots of people are getting fake products. Make sure that yours is both shipped and sold by Amazon.com, and you'll be a lot less likely to end up with a fake. The real product is great!

I ordered a size small and this tee fits perfectly but is not skin tight. I am just shy of 5'4", 120 lbs, and a 32C. Originally, I ordered a different Rashguard and returned it because it was too tight around my middle. I wanted some protection from the sun when I go swimming with the kids and didn't have help around to apply sunscreen to my back. I didn't need anything to use for competitive swimming. While reading another review someone recommended a "rash tee" instead of a rash guard. So glad I did; I absolutely love this O'Neill rash tee. I also like that it dries very quickly. Another customer said something about the fabric being itchy, and I don't feel that way about it. I think it feels fine.***Color seems more like a "smokey-black" than a "black-black" color to me, if that makes sense.

I ordered this top for summer to keep me protected from the sun. It has done it's job. I am very big up top so I ordered an XL and it fits as I expected. It fits like a glove as rash guard shirts are supposed to fit. I have a long sleeve O'Neill rash guard too and have used it much more especially in the pool it has held up well but it has faded a little. I expect that this short sleeve shirt will hold up just as well too. I you want sun protection, sand protection and a slimming look then this is the shirt for you.

Good shirt and decent price. I bought it for ocean sports. HERE IS THE DEAL ON THE FIT: I think it runs slightly big. Based on the reviews, I originally ordered a medium, then had to order the small and extra small because the medium was soooo large. I kept the extra small, but wished that it fit a little snugger so the shirt would not ride up on me while doing ocean sports. To put it in perspective, in junior-sized clothing I would wear a small or medium (department stores or like forever 21), in women's clothing (department store or gap) I'd wear a small or extra small.The size you get really depends on what kind of fit you want. For activewear and ocean sports, you want a tight/snug fit because you want the shirt to stay in place. I am 5'3 and about 125lbs and I wished that the extra small was a little more snug around my waist/lower stomach so it wouldn't flip up in the waves (size of shoulders/neck were okay). The length of the shirt was fine... covered the tops of my low riding bikini bottoms. If you want this shirt to fit like a regular baby tee or t-shirt that you would wear out and about (basically you are only using it for sun protection and want it loose), then order your regular size or a size up... it will be looser fitting. If you want it very fitted and snug (i.e. how it should be for this type of shirt if used for water sports), order down a size.

Ok so I have seen a lot of different opinions on the sizing. Here are my thoughts. Yes, this fits much tighter than the average shirt, but actually looser than the average rash guard. So if you are not comfortable with stretchy fabric right up against your skin, order a size up. If you have worn a rash guard before (or want to look the way surfers look when they wear one) order your regular size. I usually wear a size small in nicer brands and medium in cheaper brands (forever21, h&m, target) and have a 34D size chest. I ordered a Small and it fits as a rash guard should across my shoulders, arms, chest, and has a bit of breathing room (not baggy) across my stomach. Very comfortable.

I love these tees! I got this in black and light blue. It is exactly as shown. High quality material. Put it in the washing machine with other clothes and line dry it. I took other people's advice and ordered one size up. I have trouble buying shirts in general because I have a thin waist line (size S - M) but I'm heavy on top (34DD) therefore I usually wear size large shirts so I'm not constricted. I ordered these tees in XL and they fit perfect! They are a slightly loose fit just enough so it's not bunching up in the armpit, enough room at the bust, and curved to fit the waist. I highly recommend this product!

I was not sure how to rate this because I ordered a long-sleeved one from the same company as well and the fit is completely different. This short sleeved one, the color is accurate to photo and is good quality. I normally would wear a small but based on the reviews ordered the medium expecting it to be tight, it was not. It fit somewhat loose like a regular t-shirt would, where as the long-sleeved one in a medium was really tight. So this shirt really depends on what you are looking for.

After reading reviews about this shirt fitting small, I hesitantly went with my gut and ordered my normal clothing size. I'm so glad I did. I'm 5'10" 130lbs 34DD and the small fit me great. Form fitting but not tight. I will be ordering another.Update: 6-27-17 I ordered two more of these shirts. The company fulfilling the order was fashion park, out of china. They sent me two regular 100% cotton t-shirts. Not a rash guard, as I previously received. I'm currently trying to return the shirts but they are saying what they sent me is what the product description says they sent. WRONG-O. That are also saying I will have to pay shipping to return the incorrect order. I'm ready to dispute it through Amazon. Be careful if the fulfilling company says they are FASHION PARK.
