O'NeillMen's Men's Basic Skins Long Sleeve Rash Guard Rash Vest

It turned boring old me into a surfing, six pack packing god! Sexy at last!... I wear mostly in my shed.

Very good rash vest. Great sun protection and provides unrestricted movement when in the water. Doesn’t really provide any buffer from cold but definitely better then walking into the water with nothing on. Very comfortable on the paddle board so would recommend to anybody as addition to the wetsuit for the warmer weather. It fits rather snug so size up if prefer more comfy feel

One thing you will notice about a surf brand rash vest - its going to fit you correctly.I bought this along with another more 'generic' brand top (because i liked the colour / pattern). Whereas the O'neill fits you like a glove around both the chest and the stomach and waste area - as it should - the other brand fit great around the chest and arms, and more like a slightly loose fitting t-shirt around the stomach and waste (not to mention it was slightly shorter too).So if you're planning on some active sporting activities (surfing / body boarding (AKA doormat) / SUP surfing, etc) this is the rash vest for you.Ps. the size guide is pretty accurate.

I bought this rash vest to go on holiday with as I planned on doing lots of water sports/snorkeling, but also wanted the protection from the sun and things below the waves.There are cheaper ones out there, but this is very comfortable and you forget you even have it on.It's well made and durable, has a long collar so you can cover most of your neck and a long torso so you can pull it down as far as you need or fold it over itself - whatever you prefer.I am 6ft tall 31" waist and medium fit very well - I am sure you could be a couple of inches taller/shorter/skinner/larger and it'll fit fine.It can be a little tricky to get on/off like all tight fitting clothing but that is a minor inconvenience.

I am aware these used to be worn as a snug fit but I bought my husband one of the largest sizes on offer (XXL I think) and he can barely get it on. Whilst on holiday we saw some very large guys from the US and their rash vest were baggy - they obviously stock much larger sizes in the US than we can obtain in the UK. Other than that, it did a good job in preventing sunburn while snorkelling etc.

Good for water sports in warm countries. I took it on my trip to the Philippines where the sun will scorch you if you do not wear a top. It has a UV filter. Warning: do not enter the local hot springs while wearing it - it causes the material to become sticky due to some chemical reaction.

I ordered this according to the size chart. It fits perfectly. I particularly like the length of the body, there is no danger of riding up and exposing your lower back to the sun. It is a good close fit so I expect it not to slow me down when swimming. It seems to be well made and I am looking forward to using it fir snorkelling soon.

The rash-vest is fantastic fit, a little loose round the pecks if you aren't a gym bunny however, the material is soft and is the perfect thickness. Only downside is that some thermal wet-suits will quickly bobble since the material is not as smooth as others
