I purchased this rash guard to protect me from sun during open water swims. I love it! The pattern and color are gorgeous, the fabric is silky, and the fit is perfect (I used the company fit chart and it was accurate). I'm pleasantly surprised that the arms are long enough (I'm tall) -- often long-sleeved items are too short for my arms. I wore it for a one-mile, open-water swim last week and it was fabulous. It rode up on my belly a bit while I swam, but it wasn't too distracting, and that seems normal for a shirt in the water (the rash guard is fairly form-fitting -- it's not too loose). One additional element I love is that the neckline is higher than many other rash guards (i.e., it's not low-cut), so it protects my chest and lower neck from sun while doing backstroke. I'm very happy with this purchase, and am considering getting another one of these in blue!
