Body Glove Rash Guards are designed to protect the skin from the suns harsh U.V. rays, rashes and chafing caused by the abrasion from sliding on and off of the surf board. The rash guard will also help prevent skin irritations caused by ocean waters and the rapid impact of waves and can also be worn under wetsuits to help prevent chafing caused by friction while paddling out to the break.
Body Glove rash guards Offers strategically placed moisture wicking performance fabric throughout the body and arms. The non-chafe flat lock seams and double needle wrist, arm, and waist finish with the low profile crew neck creates a comfortable fit.
The vented side and upper back panels provide enhanced breathability and a temperature management system that offers UV protection from the suns damaging rays
Body Glove since 1953, surf boards, body boards, stand up boards, wake boards, paddling, kayaking, water skiing, tubing, scuba diving, diving, snorkeling, PFD’s and protective outwear, whatever the water sport Body Glove has you covered.

I’m 128lbs, 5’7’’ and 34D(chest). I ordered large and fits pretty nice! I am usually medium sizes but this fabric usually is pretty attached to your skin. The neck is slightly loose.

I haven't taken this in the water yet but the fit it perfect. I'm 5'6 and around 126lb with a 27/28 inch waist and 38 inches around the chest measured around the boob point not under. I bought a medium and it's tight but stretchy and fits perfect. Sometimes there's not enough stretch and I can't breath as well but this has a good stretch for bigger boobs.

This rashguard is a regular in my rashguard collection, and provides adequate sun protection and warmth while swimming/snorkeling in Hawaii. I have several rashguards as I like to keep covered while in the water for many reasons (sun, jellies, warmth), and this one works great.It is on the thin side, so if you are looking for something to wear in cool water or need excellent sun protection, this might not work for you.For reference I am 5'4", 125#, 34D and a large fits good and snug.

I love this for lap swimming outdoors.Sun protection and good coverage. I am super fair skinned and need to be constantly vigilant about sun exposure.With this and spf swim leggings I can swim laps in an outdoor pool and know I ma not goin to fry.You must size down and wear it skin tight if you are planning to actually swim, not just splash around for fun.I have had other rash guards that weren't skin tight and they were annoying as F! Created drag, got air bubbles, I couldn't wait to get them off. They are fine for just recreation, but not for lap swimming.FYI-I have this in the short sleeve version .Swam in Maui wearing it. Felt great . But even with waterproof SPF 80 lotion on exposed skin, in one hour I had a tan line on my arms. That is why I upgraded to long sleeve.

I ordered an XS for my daughter, who is very slim. It's a nice product, but the sizing is way off. My daughter wears a 14-16 in kids tops. The sleeves were very, very short and the body was extremely tight. It looked more like a kids M than a ladies XS. I'm considering returning and ordering an S, but I wonder if that will be large enough.

I'm using this shirt daily as I live for two months near the equator. I have a dermatologic condition where I get rashes from exposure to too much sunlight - I have to use special sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. It's been a month, and this shirt has prevented me from getting a single rash or burn - I haven't even tanned through it. Its fabric is light and flexible, but still sturdy. I only wish they made pants, too!

I didn't want the skin-tight, slammed into it look. I ordered a size larger than my normal size. I am 5'7" and normally wear a size 6. This is form fitting. There is no looseness. I had hoped for a little room but I am still satisfied with the way it fits. I also purchased the "loose fit" version in black and it fits more like a t-shirt which is what I was hoping for. I wanted both black and white and this was the only white one of this brand. Since there is so much variation from brand to brand I opted to stick with this brand. I would say that it fits a little tighter on me than it shows in the picture and again, I ordered a size up. I think I would have been happier with two sizes up. In the loose fit version I ordered medium, my normal size and am happy with the fit. I can't fault the shirt for the sizing, rash guards are supposed to be tight.

Here's the thing with these rashguards- they run true to size, which means they are SKIN TIGHT (which is their purpose- they are designed for watersports, and any fabric flapping around creates drag, which decreases speed and efficiency...) so if you are looking for a comfy shirt to wear at the beach or at the pool while hanging out, go up a few sizes. I'm a distance swimming, I am 5'4" and 120 pounds and have pretty huge shoulders and I wear a small, but it's SKIN tight on me. It's definitely not comfortable, but it doesn't chafe, doesn't create drag, and does a fairly good job of protecting my skin from the harsh Florida sun. I still get a tan with it, but it's nothing compared to the dark tan my skin gets on my legs, so it's working.A huge issue with these is the quality control. I have found that every color EXCEPT black is pretty much destroyed within a week or two of wearing it on a daily basis. The black holds up for weeks when exposed to regular sunshine and pool chemicals/environmental elements. The color versions (I've gone through both the blue and white) seem to just turn into baggy, transparent, sheer fabric within a few uses, even when properly taken care of and rinsed well after use. The white fares fairly better than the colors.Here's a tip- after being in the pool, do NOT allow the rashguard to dry while you are wearing it- it will dry stretched out, and will not bounce back to its original size. If you want the rashguard a little loose, this is fine, but if you are looking for a rashguard for watersports and need it to stay slim-fitting, this is kind of crucial to preserve its fit.So good rashguard in that it doesn't chafe and keeps out the sun, not so good in that it doesn't last. But, get the black if you can.
