Jeff –
This is my second O’Neill rashguard/swim shirt and it is top quality (one is short sleeve, and now this LS). There is a lot of variance in customer comments about fit and effectiveness, so here is my experience. I typically wear a size Large or sometimes XL depending on the brand/cut. SIZE/FIT: A Carhart cotton t-shirt size Large fits me loosely, while a Riggs t-shirt size Large is snug but still fits. I bought this O’Neill rash guard shirt as a 2XL hoping it would fit a bit loose and it does. A Large for me in the O’Neill would be tight and form fitting, not quite a compression fit. An XL would be better for a snug fit for swimming laps, etc. But I like the looser fit of the 2XL as a beach shirt that also works fine for casual swimming. So I would think you probably want to buy one size larger than your normal t-shirt size for the same type of fit. Buy your regular size for a near-compression fit. And buy two sizes larger for a loose fit.EFFECTIVENESS: I’ve worn this O’Neill shirt swimming in a pool for three hours in mid-day summer sun (95 degree F) with zero burning and hardly even any additional tan. I am fair skinned with freckles so sensitive to sunburn. On my face I liberally coated with SPF 50 sunscreen and it got very tanned, almost but not quite red. BUT, underneath the O’Neill shirt I was totally protected, much better than the SPF 50 sunscreen. Our grandkids wear O’Neill rashguard shirts at the ocean beach and play all afternoon without sunburn on shoulders or backs. These are also great for swimming or beach strolling when the temperature dips and the wind picks up and provide a little more warmth than just bare skin.QUALITY: These have lasted for a long time for our grandkids. Since they stretch a lot they have worn the same ones for three years while still growing, in both chlorine pools and ocean saltwater. The seams are well sewn and non-irritating, though not totally flat. It is a very tight weave and I’ve never seen them get snagged or torn at the beach or pool. It has a slick texture. I’m sure every brand has a small percentage of errors that slip through, but the six or so that we have bought have all been top quality in materials and construction.

Did not ride up my back on a scalloping trip. Kept my back fully protected from the harsh Florida sun.
Windy –
This was a great fit, true to size. Very comfortable when wet.

I got one size larger so as not to show too much of my dad bod. Still gets stuck to my 6-flab when I get up out of the water, but thatβs not the shirtβs fault.
