Reviews Summary
Customers say this rash guard is comfortable, flattering, and offers excellent sun protection with its cap sleeves and half-zip design. Many appreciate the soft, lightweight fabric that dries quickly and the adjustable side ties for a customizable fit. Users frequently mention the quality construction and vibrant colors that don't fade in chlorinated pools or ocean water. Several note it works well for various water activities like swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Common feedback includes that it tends to run small, with many recommending sizing up for a more comfortable fit. Some customers wear it as a swim top with a sports bra underneath, while others use it as versatile beachwear.

    Cute and protective

    Sassy style and I felt covered up from the sun rays on my shoulders and/or chest. I might need a smaller size but I dislike feeling like a sausage in bathing suits. The cinched sides helped with better sizing.

    Love this tankini top

    Great alternative to bare shouldered suits. Works well for young and old. Side ties give plenty of versatility for customizing fit.

    Good quality, cute

    Just writing to review the fit because that's always what I come to reviews to see - I'm 5'3" 110-115 with 35 bust and I got the medium based on some reviews.... it is really roomy, which is good if you don't want to define everything you've got. But, maybe too roomy for swimming, I'm going to try a small. I would say it's true to size, because I ordered a medium thinking the sizes would run small or be Junior sizes, but did not find that the case.

    Great Rashguard

    This is super flattering and very comfortable. Great quality. i chose to size down to small for sporty fit, but could have sized up to medium without being huge. (5’ 5”, 135lbs, 36B)
