 runs very small August 21, 2010
Norma Chinn (Chicago)
It ran so small that I had to return it. I usually wear a women's medium and read the reviews so I ordered an XL, It was too small
Very nice rash guard August 20, 2010

Ordered this for my wife for a trip we were taking going scalloping, and knew our pale skin would be in the sun for 8-10 hours. I ordered one size larger than normal as the other reviews suggested, and it fit her great. It worked as expected and she commented it was very comfortable to wear the entire day. At the end of the trip we thought it had gotten lost and we were pretty bummed and were actually going to re-order the same one to replace it, but luckily found it. I'd order another in a heartbeat.
does run small, but if you are a swimmer, it's "true to size" July 30, 2010

These rash guards DO run small, and are a bit short as far as arm and torso length (I'm 5'4", and about 128 pounds and the arm length isn't long enough for me) but the snug fit IS great if you are a competitive swimmer who needs a rash guard with NO drag and doesn't chafe in the process. These particular rash guards are really designed to be form-fitting to create less drag in the water for swimmers and athletes. They DO make rash guards with a lot more "room", and the way to tell is by looking at the product picture. If it hugs the torso in the product picture, it's designed to be skin tight like a bathing suit, not like a shirt. I hope that makes sense.
I get a size SMALL in these (usually wear an 8-12 in clothes) and it fits just about right for me. It's comfortable, but tight enough that it creates very little drag when I swim. I swim in the hot Florida sun, two miles a day, 365 days a year, so I desperately needed something to help keep the sun off my skin.
Because of the short arms and the fact that the rash guard will sometimes not cover the small of my back, I tried other brands (Dakine was the latest) to get a little more coverage. It was a mistake- I got horrible burns and irritations at the seams. Body Glove's products are built really well in that regard- even though I wear my rash guard skin tight, the seams NEVER irritate my skin.
I'm not a total believer that the rash guard presents as much UV protection as it claims- I still get a pretty good tan when I wear mine every single day. But I think anything is a help.
It's also nice and light, very easy to wash/rinse by hand and drip dry, and easy to tote around and pack. It's a nice soft material.
It's not the best rash guard I've ever worn (I had one from Rip Curl that was a better fit, better at UV, but I can't find that particular model anymore :() but it's very high up there. I recommend it for swimmers needing some extra UV protection without chafing and drag.
Great for preteen July 11, 2010
yellow submarine (Phoenix, AZ United States)
I bought the large size for my 12 year old and it fits her great. Well made and looks good too. Perfect for a preteen size 14.
Perfect! July 3, 2010

Size is just right and because I live in the tropics, I love the fact that it's of light and thin material.
