O'Neill Wetsuits Men's O'Neill Basic Skins UPF 50+ Long Sleeve Sun Shirt

This is my second O'Neill rashguard/swim shirt and it is top quality (one is short sleeve, and now this LS). There is a lot of variance in customer comments about fit and effectiveness, so here is my experience. I typically wear a size Large or sometimes XL depending on the brand/cut. SIZE/FIT: A Carhart cotton t-shirt size Large fits me loosely, while a Riggs t-shirt size Large is snug but still fits. I bought this O'Neill rash guard shirt as a 2XL hoping it would fit a bit loose and it does. A Large for me in the O'Neill would be tight and form fitting, not quite a compression fit. An XL would be better for a snug fit for swimming laps, etc. But I like the looser fit of the 2XL as a beach shirt that also works fine for casual swimming. So I would think you probably want to buy one size larger than your normal t-shirt size for the same type of fit. Buy your regular size for a near-compression fit. And buy two sizes larger for a loose fit.EFFECTIVENESS: I've worn this O'Neill shirt swimming in a pool for three hours in mid-day summer sun (95 degree F) with zero burning and hardly even any additional tan. I am fair skinned with freckles so sensitive to sunburn. On my face I liberally coated with SPF 50 sunscreen and it got very tanned, almost but not quite red. BUT, underneath the O'Neill shirt I was totally protected, much better than the SPF 50 sunscreen. Our grandkids wear O'Neill rashguard shirts at the ocean beach and play all afternoon without sunburn on shoulders or backs. These are also great for swimming or beach strolling when the temperature dips and the wind picks up and provide a little more warmth than just bare skin.QUALITY: These have lasted for a long time for our grandkids. Since they stretch a lot they have worn the same ones for three years while still growing, in both chlorine pools and ocean saltwater. The seams are well sewn and non-irritating, though not totally flat. It is a very tight weave and I've never seen them get snagged or torn at the beach or pool. It has a slick texture. I'm sure every brand has a small percentage of errors that slip through, but the six or so that we have bought have all been top quality in materials and construction.

This is a must if you are going to be going to a place like the Bahamas or anywhere you expect to have extreme UV exposure.The material is very soft to the skin and it wicks water away like it's nothing. I'm glad I Didn't buy the knock off or I'm sure I would've been uncomfortable.

Large fits me well. 6’2” 180lbs.

Comfortable shirt with a quality feel, dries quickly. It does hold a fair amount of water when splashing around in a pool or the ocean and a connector/tie to your board shorts would be nice to have as a results- descriptions that the shirt has a connector/tie to your board shorts is wrong. I am generally an XL, but ordered XXL based on reviews that said shirts run small. I did not find that to be the case. I should have stayed with the XL since it would have been nice to have the shirt fit a bit more closely when active in the water. However, I wore the shirt around town, rather than just in the water and found it nice for both roles. Sun protection was great as well. I would be tempted to buy the shirt again, even just to wear outside of the water. Only gave 4 stars because the absence of the advertised connector to board shorts and amount of water held by the fabric.

This is a perfect wetsuit sunshirt that has handled regular ocean salt water and washer and dryer tumbling with zero issues. I saw some reviewers say that the O'Neill lettering washed or peeled off, but I've consistently washed mine in cold water with a low-heat tumble dry and it looks exactly like it did the day I bought it. There has been zero shrink, the fit is perfect, and the blue color nice and vibrant. I will likely buy additional colors given the quality and fit.

Looks like a good surf shirt but fits way loose compared to comparable sized surf shirts. Returned due to loose fit and sizing.

I love this shirt. Normally I wear large shirts but prefer XL for comfort and less form fitting around my waist. I was going to a water park and wanted sun protection and a loose sun shirt for comfort and looks. I ordered the Black XL [I'm 5'9", 184 lbs, 43 chest] and it arrived same day. The package was small and light but I found the shirt to be durable and well made with strong fabric. I love the O'niell logo too. This shirt kept me cool as the water evaporated, acting like a wick, drawing away the 90+ degree day heat. It is long-sleeve. I would say this, with those temps, as long as you stay wet you're great. If not, it can hold your body heat and certainly make you heat up. Other than that, I looked good in it, my love handles were hidden and I walked around with confidence at the water park! NO SUN BURN !!! Work perfectly and I didn't have to put lotion all over my body and worry about re-applying all the time. This shirt provided total sun protection!

Nice material, true size,

Me quedo muy bien en talla, es elástica y protege del sol, en caso de viento también protege un poco y no se le acumula el sudor.

Bought this as a second shirt when the first one is in the wash. These perform well. Bought mainly for sun protection but they’re also great to protect the public’s eyes from my nasty looking body. No more scaring people at the beach. Well made. Fits well. Sags a little when wet but I probably bought too large. Great sun protection.

Passt nicht ganz , aber fann man bißchen zunimmt wird das perefkt

Assurez-vous de bien vérifier la grandeurPrendre une taille plus grand

Perfect for the beach or lazing in the sun...I'm 5'11" , 190 lbs and normally wear a large shirt. Based on customer feedback, i ordered an XL and it fit perfectly...tailored but not too tight. The " slim fit" oneil designation means it fits like a regular T shirt....not a compression fit....if you are looking for a tighter fit, probably best to go with a smaller size or order one of oneils " performance fit" products that fit very tight and feel like a second skin..I also purchased a " perfomance fit" short sleeve top for snorkelling in XL and it fits amazing..
