O'Neill Men's Basic Skins UPF 50+ Short Sleeve Rash Guard

This is a well-made, high-quality rash guard with a “performance“ fit that is meant to fit skin-tight. It fits VERY small: too small. My son has an athletic physique with washboard abs and a tiny waist; he usually wears a small or medium but needed a large in this rash guard. Having figured that out (after returning first a small and then a medium), the fit, feel and look are perfect and my son is delighted.

Order 3 sizes up because they are really tight and run small. I did that and this one one fits great. I previously bought 2 of this shirts size large even thouh i am medium they were impossible to wear.

I have bought multiple times in long sleeve and short. Its a fantastic shirt, very comfortable. They run small but, they are supposed to be very snug fitting. I wouldnt say you need to size up. The short sleeve can tend to pinch on the sleeve, but i do have a kind of fat arm so if your in shape, probably not an issue. It only happens after wearing all day, and not so much that I wouldnt recommend. Very happy with these and will buy more

I’ve been looking for a couple years for an ideal “swim shirt”. I’ve bought a few that were marketed specifically as men’s swim shirts; designed to be worn in our out of the water to protect from the sun. These typically are baggy T-shirts made of fitness apparel material and flop and wave while in the water and then get really heavy and uncomfortably snug when out of the water (like wearing a weighted shirt). This shirt however wears like a wet suit; tight like a second skin which doesn’t twist and shift when getting in and out of the water. Comfortable to swim in and doesn’t get in the way, and dries nicely when out of the water. I thought black might be a mistake because it would bake in the sun, but when wet, the evaporation has a nice cooling effect. Excellent sun protection too, I’ve spent hours in the hot July sun without a burn to show for it. My one knock on the shirt is that the sleeves aren’t very stretchy- I am by no means a muscular man but the sleeves get uncomfortably tight after a while. I wear a size L T-shirt and ordered this in L as well and it’s the perfect fit. It’s SUPPOSED to be tight, beer belly or not!

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

I like the shirt , it’s very comfortable and keeping the skin a bit cool.

It is skin-tight but fits very comfortably. I hand washed it but let it dried naturally.
