Excellent product
By Ken K. from Salt Lake City, UT on 1/18/2013
Size: Feels true to size
I got this specifically to provide a little extra warmth for snorkeling and it was perfect. Excellent fit, no bulk, no chafing, no noticeable unwanted buoyancy. Just that little extra warmth.

Size XL actual measurements
By David H. from Phoenix, AZ on 6/21/2012
Size: Feels too small
I previously reviewed the size Large.  I just got a replacement size XL, and it fits much better.  Here are the actual measurements of the XL (lying flat, not stretched):  chest 42", waist 35".  Because I had to go up a size, it's a little longer than I'd like it to be.  I don't have a non-neoprene Dakine rash guard to compare it to, so I don't know if the tight sizing is unique to just the neo-insulator or Dakine's sizing is simply wack.  I do notice the neoprene panels (the black parts) aren't as stretchy as the lycra (gray) parts, so maybe that's the issue with the size chart being a size too small?  At any rate, my advice is go up a size from what their chart says - and even then, expect a wetsuit-like snug (but not uncomfortable) fit.  I'm happy with the quality, so if Dakine would just properly label the sizes (and maybe shorten the length), I'd give it 5 stars.

doesn't match Dakine size chart
By Dave H. from Cali on 6/12/2012
Size: Feels too small
Nicely made hybrid between a rash guard and a neoprene jacket.  Would have given it 5 stars but Dakine's size chart said I needed a "Large" (I'm a 42" chest, 35" waist, 40" hip). However, It was too tight across my chest and I could barley zip up the back.  The actual measurements of the size "Large" shirt are 38" chest, 32" waist, 34" hip.  Granted, it's supposed to be a snug fit, but it shouldn't be so uncomfortably tight.  Sent it back and am waiting for an XL; I'll post the actual measurements of that when I get it.

Size: Feels too small
ordered it in my size but fits really snug.
Insulating panel holds the extra flesh in so even though snug,
you look good.

Good Product - could be more durable
By Tom S. from Apex, NC on 6/26/2011
Size: Feels true to size
Good fitting, non-restricting allowing full movement.  However after about 30 uses x 1000 yard swim, lost elasticity and stretched out of shape.  I like the product, good price, and this is the second one I've purchased.  Would just like to get more uses out of it.
