long sleeve tops for women - reviews
yeah baby
fit as expected but a little too short for cover up. light weight breathable, keeps you covered from the sun but not hot. love the material. will def wear all summer outside or at the beach. perfect for long hikes, long day on the boat or beach, can get wet and dries quickly. super likey.
love this rashguard...
I'm 5'4, 130 lbs, 34C, and in decent shape. The medium fits perfect, although it's slightly shorter than one would expect. I do not have a long torso by any means, and it's just long enough for me. I have been looking for a rashguard for years, and this one is cute and flattering. I have it in white. I was a little worried about it being too sheer or clingy around my mom belly, but it's not! The material is thick enough so that it is not sheer. Overall, great value and cute top to wear over your bathing suit at the pool, beach, etc. I guess I could be used for running/exercise outdoors too?
Comfortable while working in the sun!
This shirt arrived yesterday; today I put it on and mowed the whole place. It was sunny and at least 80 degrees, yet I was cool and comfortable, even with the long sleeves. And the long sleeves are why I bought it - I mowed last week with sunscreen on, but even so out popped the "old lady bright red liver spots," and I don't care to go through the summer sporting those! This is a great answer.
Great shirt - PLEASE consider making it in TALL sizes
Love the shape of this shirt -- very fitted without being too skin tight. As many previous reviewers have stated, I wish the length was a little longer, maybe about 2 inches. Or better yet, keep the sizing the same for the many who find this shirt to be perfect, and PLEASE, ATHLETA, manufacture this shirt in a TALL SIZE! I think if you are petite or have a short torso, this length will be perfect for you. If you are tall or have a long torso, you may or may not be comfortable with the length. I am 5'8", 150 lbs (usu wear M/8 pants and M tops) and have a long torso and long arms, even for my height. I am 42 years old, so I am not about having my belly hanging out. I ordered this shirt in a medium and have been on the fence about keeping it. I am thinking I will keep it b/c i love the shirt and the sun protection it offers, but I will be limited to wearing it over a one piece bathing suit or with my shorts that have a little higher of a rise. I ordered another in a large, just to see if that does anything for me, but I'm afraid that although it may offer more length, it may also be too wide. We'll see.....I'll try to let you know!
Just about perfect!
I bought this shirt several months ago, but didn't try it out until a recent trip to Hawaii. It was the best thing I brought with me! I have red hair and fair skin, and this shirt was great as I didn't have to keep slathering on the sunscreen. I wore it in the ocean to swim and snorkel, and also while tubing. I was a bit worried about it riding/floating up while in the water, but this was not an issue. After swimming I would keep it on for sitting in the sun, and never got hot despite the long sleeves. It did take awhile to dry, but I think that actually kept me cool so no complaints about that. I am 5'10" and 130# with long arms, and the sleeves were actually long enough for me in a medium. Ideally, the overall length of the shirt would be an inch or 2 longer, but as I am tall I am used to things not being quite long enough for me. I like that it wasn't super tight like a true rash guard; it was easy to take off when wet. It washed great too--the famous red Kauai dirt that I got all over it when tubing washed right out in the hotel sink with a little dish soap. I couldn't be more pleased, and will be buying another long sleeved one and a few short sleeved ones for my next vacation! It was definitely worth the money, and a great product!
Swim and Play
I'm 5'10" and about 145 and the large fit just right. The sleeves are a little long which I love because I have long arms. The shirt is a little looser than most swim shirts I have but otherwise I love it.
A Great Non binding Tee
I love this Tee. It is comfortable and extremely non binding. I like my long sleeve tees to fit a little big so I ordered this one in a larger size. I have long arms and the sleeve length is also right on. It fits perfect and will add another level of protection from the suns rays. I also have two pair of Oceanside Shorts that will match this tee to a 'T'. Thanks to Athleta, my travel, beach, hike, anytime wardrobe is becoming very versatile and space saving.
cute shirt
This shirt is too heavy to wear in the summer where I live, but I decided to give it a try for a spring/fall running shirt. It fits really well and is the perfect weight for running outside in cool weather. I found it to fit true to size. I usually wear a size S top (size 4, 34D) and the S in this was relaxed but close to the body, and the fit through the bust and arms (problem areas for me) was quite generous. The sleeves were a little long, but I'm petite so sleeves are always too long on me. Unlike many tops i've tried from Athleta, the length on this one was just perfect, hitting at mid hip. I got the light blue and it's a bright, flattering color. Can't wait for cooler weather so I can wear this.
Love it!
So glad I bought 2 of these--used them as rashguards for a trip in the Caribbean--they were great in blocking the very hot and strong sun, and also great at keeping me protected from the splash from the wake of the boat on a trip over to another island! Comfy and not hot at all, even with the long sleeves in the 85F+ weather!! I did purchase XL after reading some of the reviews ( I am 5'9" with long arms and an athletic build of about 160 and normally wear a Size 8-10). I don't like my rashguards too tight. . . the XL was perfect--not too large, with a nice body skimming fit, arm length was perfect. Glad I bought 2--the pink and the aqua--both colors are so cute and match all my suits!!
Really like it; But love the sleeveless version more
I originally ordered the asphalt long sleeve version of this rash guard. Then the new swimwear came out and a sleeveless version of the rash guard was available. Although I was happy with the long sleeved version, I REALLY like the sleeveless one! I think it is a little more sporty, and is more flattering for me. The piping around the shoulders looks makes my shoulders look nice. Although the piping is the same on the long sleeved version - it's piping made me look a little broad in the shoulders. So although I really like this rash guard, I'm sending it back and keeping the sleeveless version. I got the rash guard not so much for swimming, but for those long days on the beach when the sun just gets to be too much. With the sleeveless version I can still get sun on my arms, but protect my chest and tummy area from the rays. I am 5' 3", 120 pounds/slender build and ordered a Small.
Lightweight and comfortable
I really like this tee, although the pocket seems somewhat functionless (things won't stay put there during any kind of activity) and I wish it were longer. It's very lightweight and comfortable, and it's cute as long as you wear something longer underneath it. I do have a long torso.
