Kanu Surf Men's Short Sleeve UPF 50 Swim Shirt Rash Guard Sun Shirt (Regular & Extended Sizes)

Middle-aged dad here who has both gained some baby weight in the last few years and developed a big disdain for skin cancer. Bought this to wear at the beach this summer in the ocean for both protection and cover-up. Those six-pack abs are not what they used to be and I would like to lessen the slather of chemicals that my wife insists on rubbing me down with.* * THINGS I LIKED * *(+) Nice fit, somewhat tailored but not tight. I did buy a 4XL when I normally wear a 3XL but that is because I didn't want it to fit like a wet suit top and show off all my beach-curves.(+) Nice material.. it is definitely synthetic, but after multiple all-day wears and multiple washings, it hasn't snagged or pilled and still looks great.(+) Good protection from the rays. Wearing it allowed me to reduce the chemical sun-block to just my face, head, neck, arms and legs, and believe it when I say that is a big improvement.(+) Great value for the price.* * THINGS THAT COULD BE BETTER * *(-) Not much, really... maybe better color choices? But all in all, it is a casual-style shirt that would work being worn into a food establishment.. it doesn't SCREAM beach style and could be tucked into dockers or canvas shorts for dinner.* * PURCHASE RECOMMENDATION * *Absolutely, buy a few in multiple colors.... you won't regret it and your skin will thank you. Totally worth the money. Was in the sun for hours and had excellent sun protection as well as good wash-ability post ocean. Salt water did nothing to the quality. True to size, great fit and comfortable. Also great at hiding that unsightly baby weight I gained through each of my wife's pregnancies.

These type of shirts typically are tight and clingy. This shirt doesn't do that. I bought 2 more. True size or slightly larger, which is great when wet.

Fits very well and is very comfortable. I'm 5'11", 190 lbs. The shirt is cut close to the body but loose enough so that it doesn't look like I'm wearing a wetsuit. There isn't so much fabric that it doesn't "sail" around in the pool either. A nice amount of fabric to hide my beer belly but not look like I'm wearing a circus tent. Definitely provides UV protection and I don't put any sunscreen on my chest/abdomen when wearing this shirt and I haven't suffered any sunburn yet.The material is a little thicker than the rashguard I bought from Target and this looks more durable at a lower price! The stitching is nice and hasn't unraveled after near daily use last summer. However, it has somehow slowly stretched in length somehow over time and it's a bit too long. The fabric does tend to "hold" onto the water a bit, so maybe that has stretched it a bit over time. It does appear to dry relatively quickly once I am out the water. That being said, I've worn it a few times as an exercise shirt and worked OK, but definitely not a true performance wicking workout shirt.

Light weight , comfortable fit

The Surf Men's Short Sleeve UPF 50+ Swim Shirt is a reliable choice for sun protection and water activities. Despite the sizing discrepancy, the quality, style, and functionality make it a worthwhile purchase. If you're considering this shirt, be sure to check the sizing chart and potentially choose a size smaller than your usual fit. With improved sizing options, this shirt could easily earn a higher rating. Despite the sizing challenge, I recommend it for those seeking effective sun protection during water-based activities.

We paired it with red white and blue flag shorts. Fit great, stayed in place, perfect swim shirt for pool games. A little extra long and worked great.

I ordered this for my 62 year old brother. He normally wears medium, so that's what I ordered. He was able to squeeze into it but looked like an overstuffed sausage. The arms & upper body were fine, but the torse was incredibly tight. It was nice and soft but I'm sending it back for a large.I can't really say if it provides any sun protection yet but will come back & update the review after we get the replacement & try it in the pool. He's got pale Irish skin & red hair, so he sunburns badly. I'm hoping this will offer protection.Adding on Nov 22, 2023: It does provide sun protection! The replacement arrived & fit him much better. He enjoyed swimming in the pool with my daughter & I over the summer & his body & shoulders never became sunburned. It was comfortable & soft, & it looked good on him.

Used this at a water park and got to enjoy the day without worrying about sun burn, plus the fabric didn't bunch up or cling to me when wet which was actually very nice

Hubby loved these shirts. Perfect fit and very comfy.

Buen material y super recomendable

Just as expected perfect fit

After struggling with the fit of some of the more tailored swim shirts, this one is great. Comfortable and quick drying the Kanu Surf shirt was perfect. Ideal for someone in the larger category.

Mi esposo es talla 46 de camisa y la 4XL le quedó muy bien, cero ajustada tal como queríamos, la tela se siente de calidad y fresca , la recomiendo al 10%
