After 6 orders and 5 returns, I found one that fit me. I used it while snorkeling in Hawaii and it worked great. Here are my insights regarding the sizing issue - 1. These do run extremely small; you should order two sizes larger than you are and 2. the manufacturing process is inconsistent (ie poor quality control), so that two shirts of the same listed size (s, m, l, etc.) may be significantly different in actual fit.I am 5’10 and 155 lbs, and am a solid “medium” in shirts. I am an active snorkeler and have worn rash guards for years, so I know when it’s a tight fit because rash guards are meant to be a tight fit as opposed to when it’s just too small. I ordered a long sleeve and short sleeve versions of the rash guard in medium size and they were so small, I literally could not pull it over my shoulders. So I returned those and bought the same rash guards in a large size. Those were similarly too small and I had to return both shirts. I finally ordered extra large versions of those shirts, and when I received them, the short sleeve version was an appropriate tight fit (as rash guards are meant to be) but the long sleeve version in the same size was actually too big. I kept the short sleeve version and returned the long sleeve version.So, trying to order the right size of this rash guard is as much a matter of luck as anything, but my recommendation is to start 2 sizes larger than what you normally wear.

Very tight fit.Suggest to order one size higher to fit and remove comfortably

This rash guard is perfect for warm weather diving.

The shirt fits fine (I'm 6'2, 190, size XL), it rides up to your neck a little, but its fine for me. My biggest complaint is the screen printing is already cracking and I have only washed the shirt once. I imagine after a few washes the print will be gone, which doesn't affect the use, but is just annoying.

Just be careful with the size chart : I use M and ordered XL for this item based on the size chart they provide, still too small, I had to return.

Go up two sizes. I’m a medium in mens and got a medium. It ‘fits’ but I feel like someone vacuum sealed me and I just managed to punch my arms out of the bag. The hems are tiiiight- I’m not incredibly swole or anything, but it’s very tight on my lil baby biceps.

Why to tight

nice

This is my second rash guard so I have one drying while wearing the other. The fit is great and does not buck up or grab air / water as others.The image is misleading. The logo is actually white on charcoal or black shirt. It is still a great rash guard. I use it by itself and as an added layer inside a dive wetsuit.

Size

Este modelo lo compré en talla mediana, y está muy ajustada a diferencia que la que está en color azul, que está un poco más amplia y menos ajustada, haciendo más fácil ponértela y quitártela.
