Platinum Rashguard UPF 50+ Sun Protection Long Sleeve Swim Shirts for Men-Premium Rash Guard for Men

From reading the various user reviews, it is obvious there are wildly different opinions of 'how well' their shirt fit based upon the size they ordered. After reviewing the comments more closely, I think the befuddlement arises, in part, over what the product is meant to accomplish. First of all, it should be stated (again) that this Kanu is sized to be a rashguard, NOT a walk-about tee-shirt. That means it is MEANT to cling snugly over EVERY part of your skin – basically skin-tight without being restrictive. If it can flap in the wind, it’s too loose…if you can’t move freely, then it’s too tight. A rashguard is designed (and sized) to be functional, rather than stylish. And there’s the rub (sorry, bad pun)…very few people actually have a model's perfectly proportioned body measurement. More than likely, many of us are used to buying clothing sizes to visually 'hide' some of our non-proportioned (aka less-than-spectacular) physical features. Get out of that mindset. For better or worse, a well-fitting rashguard should protect your skin, but it won’t make you look slimmer or taller or beefier or anything else. (In short, if you don’t like your ‘look’ standing naked in mirror, don’t blame it on the rashguard!) So how do you order from the size chart when you don’t have those (almost mythical) perfect body proportions? I wondered as well. I’m 6’0”, 180 lbs with a relatively athletic build (43” chest, 34” waist, 15” neck, 34” arm length). Using the Amazon Men’s Apparel Sizing Chart, my chest size would be Large, but my waist would dictate ordering a Medium. I went with the Large and the results in the photo were pretty much dead-on with what I expected. The chest and shoulders fit as they should (comfortably snug). When I first tried on the shirt, I thought it may have been too snug under the arms, but later realized it was simply because we rarely wear shirts this form-fitting in the underarm area. The material provided unlimited movement range in the shoulder joint, which was the most important. As to the waist, the material remained close to my skin, but could have accommodated an individual with a 35” or 36” waist without trouble. You might wish to notice the shirt’s length. As an individual with long arms and a long torso, I thought it was fantastic to finally have plenty of length in those areas, but shorter individuals will probably wonder what they will do with that much extra material. My recommendation is to trust the size range of the manufacturer (apparently 66% of Amazon purchasers thought the same thing). However, if your waist and chest measurements ‘straddle’ size groups (as mine did), make your order based upon the larger of the two sizes. I noticed a couple of user comments about an odd (‘green-ish’) color hue of the grey shirt. I didn’t see that at all in the item I just received, although I might argue that the color has a tint of Platinum or possibly medium Silver. In addition, the material has a slight satin sheen to it, but is far from shiny. Overall, the shirt is very nicely made and looks like it will hold up well - even after a few of my usual tragic spills on water skis!

I purchased this Medium shirt in RED, to be a tight fitting rash guard that would protect from sunburn on a three week snorkel trip to the Cook Islands. I am a 54YO male 66" tall, 160#, 40" chest, 38" belly, 12.5" bicep, 12" largest part of forearm, 7.5" wrist, 20" armpit to wrist, neck 16". The shirt was a bit loose in the arms and would flap in the water and on the scooter. The arms were long on me, measuring 20' from armpit seam to cuff. The body was form fitting but not uncomfortably tight. The body was very long and did not ride up and expose any part of the back while snorkeling. The collar is high and helps to protect your neck from sun and was not overly tight.. The very first time I wore the shirt was on a overland hike of about six hours, during which time we were soaked to the skin by heavy rains. On this first use the red color bled onto my backpack and the inner part of my pants where the shirt was tucked in. It did not seem, at least as far as I can tell, to bleed after that when worn in salt water or in open air. Maybe wash it once before you wear it. Temperatures were in the upper 80s and humidity probably at least that high as well, the shirt was very cool and comfortable to wear while out of the water. It also dried quickly after getting out of the water. I am not one to be fashion conscious, but two people mentioned that the shirt looked very nice. Given that I probably only wore it 6-7 times that speaks a lot because I can assure you it was not my physique that was garnering any complements

Disclaimer: I don't surf. I recently started working at a Wienerschnitzel. I work the hot dog station, where just about everything is steamed. The chili, the buns, the nacho cheese, the sauerkraut, everything except the meat is steamed. Needless to say, it gets VERY humid at my station. And after a few weeks of standing over a hot steamer for 8 hours a day, I started to notice that I was chafing something fierce, to the point where it stung just to take a shower. So, I ordered this. The first thing I noticed is that it stinks. Really stinks. Straight out of the package, it smells like someone dumped a pack of cigarettes into a tire fire. The second thing I noticed is that it is very form fitting. I'm a bit on the heavy side, and when I put it on, it pretty much left nothing about the shape of my gut to the imagination. But thankfully, I wear my uniform over it, so that's not much of a problem. The third and most important thing though, is that it is SUPER comfortable. I don't know how, but despite the tightness of this shirt, it is extremely ventilating. To quote Ned Flanders, "It feels like I'm wearing nothing at all!" So, this rashguard? Even though it's made for surfing, it's useful for other purposes as well. If your occupation makes you sweat a lot and you don't like the chafing, consider grabbing this!

This fit just as it should. I am 6' 0" and weigh 226 lbs. and got an XL. At first it seemed tight but I think that is just because I am not used to wearing form fitting shirts. I was also trying it on at the house not wearing it in the water. I also don't like things around my neck so the high neck on the shirt did not feel comfortable. I decided to give it a try anyway and just cut a V-neck in if I needed to. When I put it on at the beach I was busy getting kids stuff ready and didn't even notice the neck, after getting in the water I never wanted to take it off. It fit well and I prefer the tight fit because the shirt doesn't swing away and then come back cold. Instead it just stays against you slightly cooling you while you are wet and making it so you don't feel the wind as much. Also the shirt is long enough that even when bending over to make sand castles with the kids my lower back was not exposed. The BEST part is no sun screen. Just hit your legs feet and face and your done. Super quick and no help needed. My wife missed a spot on my back less than a week before I got this at the beach that got pretty red. This material didn't bother it, and the spot didn't get any more burnt when I went for an 8 hour day at the beach. The burn actually looked better at the end of the day than the beginning. I won't post a picture of me in it. I boast all the time that 6 packs are for beginners and my keg shows long term commitment but it looks like the model for this add worked pretty hard to get his abs and I wouldn't want to make him feel bad.

I expected that this rashguard would fit tight, and wanted it to fit relatively tight. I usually wear size large shirts: I'm 5 foot 11, 180 lbs. I ordered a large and it was as if the shirt was painted on. Super tight, and what really was the problem was that it was unfortunately too restrictive. Returned for a x-large and the fit is much better: Still pretty clingy and close fit, but not tight or restrictive and I'm able to move my arms and body around. The shirt material is nice and thick, but also dries quickly and amazingly provides warmth when I need, and cools me off when I need it as well. magic! The UV protection works well and I purposely bought a long sleeve so I didn't have to worry about reapplying sunscreen on my arms when they're wet. The only downside to the whole thing is that the material is just a bit on the shiny side. Not a true deal breaker, but I would've preferred a completely matte color.

I chose this product because I am an avid swimmer. At the peak of summer, my kids and I are in the pool as often five times per week and, although I have built up a base tan and wear sunscreen, I always feel like I'm getting too much sun. .This seemed like an economical shirt so I bought one for my son to try out. He really liked his a lot, which we bought in red, and it has held up extremely well all summer. It has not faded, shrunk or degraded in any way that I can tell. So, I decided to get my own. Fit and Construction From my own experience, this shirt fits well and, as I mentioned before, has not faded or degraded in any way. The seams are very well stitched, too. That said, before you purchase this shirt, I strongly recommend looking at the sizing guide and measuring yourself. If I hadn't checked, I'd would have ordered a size too big. UPF First, let me say that I live in Texas where we experience UV Indexes of 11 quite frequently in the summer. I have worn this shirt up to three hours per day on numerous occasions and each time, I could not detect any change in my tan. In fact, think it might be fading which is fine by me! Needless to say, I have not been burned while wearing this rashguard. Conclusion This shirt is an absolute bargain for the price. I would highly recommend this rashguard to anyone who spends long periods in the water and sun.

Love this rash guard !! I'm 6'3 205 lb, large to loose for me, medium is perfect and still has plenty of looseness to it... Just ordered another one I'm going to try small size, with the water sport I do, I could use a little tighter fit. I find this product runs large in sizing. Remember it's supposed to be relatively form fitting & not super loose. Highly recommend this rash guard 💯

I spent an hour or so reading the reviews and was still having difficulty choosing between L & XL. I have a 46 inch chest, a 36 inch waist and 34 inch arms. The XL would fit my chest, but the waist would be too big. The L would be tight in the chest, but fit my waist better. In the end I ordered a L in RED. Large turned out to be the correct choice. The chest was snug, but by no means too tight and the waist fit perfectly. The arms were a bit too long at 36 inches (came up to my knuckles), but that was not an issue as I folded them over to make a cuff. The shirt was comfortable to wear in the ocean and remained skin tight when wet. I wore the shirt at the beach while vacationing in Aruba this past March. The sun was almost directly overhead at noon (I cast an 8 inch shadow). I also had no base tan to start with. I used spray on SPF 50 on my head & neck and SPF30 elsewhere (my first rash guard and I was not taking any chances). I enjoy snorkeling and spend hours in the ocean, so the sunscreen gets washed off. In past years my shoulders and upper back would get too much sun. Not so this year. I did deduct 1 star for the overly long sleeves. So... The shirt fit well, arrived in two days, prevented any sunburn on the area it covered, and was less than half the price of similar rash guards that were on sale in Aruba. I am pleased with my purchase.

Very good quality and quite practical for some occasions.
