O'Neill Wetsuits Men's Basic Skins Short Sleeve Rash Guard Vest

I bought this top for a two week holiday, to replace one I had had for years. It was to used for sailing, diving, snorkelling, sea and pool swimwear and generally on the beach and poolside.The top fits very well it is nice and sturdy and didn’t ride up as others have. It has a decent elasticity which meant it stayed where it was meant to in the water and held water against my skin to keep me cool and or hot as required. The stitching is solid and the shape held well. It is also thankfully (it often isn’t!) long enough to be tucked in comfortably. I used it almost very day for two weeks in combination with another rash vest and had chosen the very bright yellow colour to be easily recognisable to my children and group when I was in the water.As a PADI dive master and a kayak instructor I have had many similar products over the years I like buy trusted diving or surfing brands as they tend to stand the test of time. This top has done an excellent job thus far and it appears likely to be with me for many years. I’m happy to recommend it.

It is a good quality brand and nice looking top. Bought for my sone who is slim with a long body and he found it a bit tight but good long length and liked it overall.

I'll keep this very brief.This is a great quality Wetsuit and fits perfect. However, like other reviews, I ordered two sizes bigger than what I really am. I am a "L" but ordered "2XL" for this and it fits perfect and stretches well.Update June 27th. Actually used in the Sea today, as I waded up to waist height, with some small waves breaking at my chest. Air temperature was 18c (64f) and whilst I was soaked, this wetsuit top kept me warm.Highly recommended item.

Had mine on over a week of beach holiday under a short sleeve wet suit. No rash. Could slip the wet suit off and let the vest dry off in the sun as plenty of UV protection. Worth the little extra for the quality - I had a small and it fits like a glove.

Great top, used this for some recent beach trips and saves reapplying suncream all the time when in and out of the water with the kids. Comfy, and skin tight, and a great layer of sun protection. No reason not to wear one really when it's super hot.

I’m 5’ 10” and a 40’ chest so choose the XXL (2XL) size which fits my body well. The sleeves go to just above my elbows. It can be very long when stretched out as you’ll see from the photo but I’ll be wearing that higher when I swim in it. Material is comfortable; l look forward to plenty of days in the pool avoiding sunburn. It had white marks across the front of it but after a wash they came out. Hopefully the photos help you decide if this top is right for you.

Bought a few of these for paddleboarding. Very good in the summer, any hint of a belly and it shows lol. Not very forgiving in that regard but thats what its designed for :) use it all the time

A bit on the thin flimsy side.
