   Easy sun protection, great fit!
   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!

   Exactly what I was looking for!
   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.

   Great fit and quality – Seaglass is seafoam green!
   Another great rash guard from O’Neill! Excellent quality and comfortable.Just one note: the “Seaglass” color is a true seafoam green not an aqua or light blue like the item photo. Still awesome.For reference, I’m 5’1″ 34-27-36 and ordered a Small.

   Here is the REAL DEAL on the sizing…
   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.

   Great Rash Guard!
   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.

   Fits like a glove and has held up.
   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.

   Sent Wrong Color!!
   I am giving this item 3 stars because I ordered blue and got pink! It was clearly written on the order form as Blue!. I double checked just to make sure it wasn’t my mistake; and I bought this for a cruise I’m going away on August 2, so I’m basically stuck with the pink and disappointed. I did however, give it 3 stars because the quality is good and it fits as expected. I did go up a size, per the reviews. I probably would have been fine with a large but wanted to be safe and comfortable, XL is roomie on me. I’m 5’3 and weight approximately 165lbs. It’s a little longer than expected, goes over hips, but I’m fairly short.

   Game Changer!
   I wish I could give this more than five stars! I was scrambling to find a bathing suit before leaving for a small family vacation. After no luck on the stores, and ladies you know how much fun bathing suit shopping is. For reference, I wear a women’s large in most clothing. My bra size is a 36 DDD/E! Bathing suits are almost impossible to find. Usually they don’t hold everything in and I am popping out every time I move. Basically have not worn a bathing suit since having my children. This top means I can wear a bra, that actually has support, drys quickly and still looks like swimwear! Plus covers my stomach! I pair this with any swimsuit bottom I like and I am ready to go! My kids are thrilled I am joining them in the water! I also have worn this kyaking and just out on the lake fishing and boating! Provides good sun protection as well! Have recommended to many others!

    Color is more like grass green than one on the picture.

    The only downside to this item was that the water stays in the material for hours. I ended up taking it off because I was cold. My friend had a similar shirt on by a different company and his dried within a few minutes. We were in full sun with temperatures of 30 degrees too so expected it to dry quicker.

    It’s not the exact same color as the fuchsia in the photo but it’s good for what I need it for. Its tight fittings! Another review said it was loose but I didn’t have that experience.
