Perfect for surfing and snorkeling!
I wore this ... six days of surfing in Costa Rica. It was perfect! The ocean is warm in Costa Rica, so I wore this top for sun protection and ... protection. Unlike other ... guards, this top does not ride up. It sat nicely on my hips, even after wipe outs. The cut is also very flattering. I had many compliments from fellow surfing students and instructors! I am 5'5" and I weigh 130 lbs. and I purchased a small. This top fit me snugly, but it was not overly tight. It stretches when you get it wet, so remember this when trying it on for the first time. The top gathers nicely at the waist, which helps camouflage a stomach that's not perfectly flat! I will likely purchase another one of these tops for my next surfing adventure. It would be nice to have two if you're surfing daily so that the other top can fully dry before you wear it again. I've also worn this top snorkeling in colder waters. I like that I can pull it down past my butt if I start getting chilled. I own several ... guards and diving tops and this is my favorite!
Super cute!
Love this ... so much cuter than all my other ... guards. Ordered the XS, felt it ran true to size. Expected it to be long and it certainly is, but with the ruching and ties on the sides you can make it as long or short as you want. The color (Flare Pink) is bright and vibrant and fabric is what I expected--just like a ... perfect for when I'm ocean kayaking and paddle boarding.
Got One, Now I Want More
I am 5'4", 140 lbs, 36-38C. I bought a size Medium. I have had my eye on this ... few months now, so when it went on sale and combined with the post Thanksgiving savings, I bought it. It came in the mail today as we were on our way to the beach so I was able to try it out right away. The first thing I loved about it was the zipper front. I have been annoyed in the past by other ... guards because the neck feels too confining/tight. The zipper front on this shirt gives you the option to have it up for full protective coverage, or down a bit so you can cool off and breathe a little. The second thing I loved was the length of the arms...it hits a little past the wrist and stays there. Even when I got in the water it didn't move and was very comfortable. Thirdly, the fabric was really nice. A little bit different than your average ... felt it was a little bit softer and not so slick. Last, I loved that it is longer than other ... shirt. They have a tendency to sneak up on you as you're swimming or doing other water things, and this one stayed in place. The temperature when I wore it was 82 degrees with a breeze, and with the long sleeve shirt on, it was really comfortable. I used it for stand up paddle boarding today, and I didn't feel there were any issues with mobility. I got the green and it's a fun color. My husband thought it looked great as well and told me I should get another one in a different color. Hello black ... I'm looking at you next!
Sizing Help
I really like this shirt but had a difficult time deciding what size to order so I thought I'd try and help others. First off, it is very cute for a ... have a small chest, between 34/36A and 34/36B depending on the brand. I am 5'4" and around 135-140 pounds. I carry all ... extra weight in ... post baby belly (I always look a little pregnant!). So, finding a ... flattering is nearly impossible. However, the ruching in this shirt does does a better job of hiding it than any other comparable ... had ordered O'Neill ... guards (XL) but couldn't even get ... skinny wrists through the arm holes they were ... tight. For this shirt, I ordered a M and L to try. Both were wearable, ... L gave me extra breathing room ... didn't look large at all. The bust is very tight, in both the M and L. I don't know how someone with average or a large chest could wear this though. I would imagine I could also fit comfortably in an XL with the exception of the sleeves being too long.
