ABit of Extra Warmth
By Charles from San Diego CA on 11/15/2020
Fit: TRUE
It's getting chilly for outdoor pool swimming even in San Diego. This gives a nice extra core warmth, without the hassle or rubberiness of neoprene. It was just what I was looking for. Snug for warmth, but it doesn't impede swimming laps.

Great beach shirt--runs small
By BD from Pittsburgh on 11/5/2020
Fit: NA
3rd of these swim shirts bought. Great at beach. Does not bunch up in water. Dries super fast. If you've got no beer belly then true to size as should fit tight. If a bit out shape recommend going up 1 size. I'm normally an XL but XXL is right.

Really loose and see through
By Ninu from California on 8/8/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
I didn't keep the shirt and I just wanted to say that it seems like it's good quality but it's not opaque or as tight fitting as I would have liked. So, it's good if that's what you're looking for.

Adequate
By Janetta from OK on 6/24/2020
Fit: NA
I ordered this for my gramdson. The color is lovely and the shirt did fit. I was not impressed with the quality of the fabric and i don't foresee a long life for the shirt. I have bought these before from other sources and the fabric was heavier and had more body.

Snug fit helps with colder water.
By ST from Tallahassee, FL on 2/10/2020
Fit: NA
Bought this in Large [OPENBRK]44" chest[CLOSEBRK]. Fit was snug but not overly tight. Looking to use in u heated cruise ship pool early morning. We had a cold snap the day after arrival so I tried it out. Good movement in freestyle. A bit slow to dry.

Fairly good shirt
By Jennie C. from Kokomo, IN on 1/31/2020
Fit: NA
So I ordered a medium, I'm a women's S/M and it was too loose in the water. The sleeves were a couple inches too short, not necessarily a deal breaker. This could be a really great shirt if the sleeves were longer and it came in extra small. It had good range on motion while swimming but loosened up a lot when it was wet. I was looking to replace my ONeill thermal shirt but it fit better than this one so I guess I'll be going back to that brand instead.

The headline is misleading.
By Gladys from New York on 12/30/2019
Fit: NA
I used this product for lane swimming to keep me warm when the pool gets cold. I only used it once so far and was satisfied with it. The only negative was when the water got up the sleeves and it felt cold for a few minutes. It did its job and did not interfere with my swimming. I would recommend it. I din’t know what a training shirt is, but bought it anyway on a recommendation.

Good but lacking
By Jen from Kokomo, IN on 12/27/2019
Fit: NA
Ordered a medium but should've ordered a small. It was a little loose when dry but loosened up even more once in the water. The sleeves are short in length which is very irritating. I don't have long arms but they were abt 2in above my wrists. It did pretty well in the pool as far as warmth goes, it would've been warmer had it fit more snug.

The Arms are Too Short
By JAS from Mtn View, CA on 8/14/2019
Fit: TRUE
I just got this and haven't tried in the water yet. The fit seems good and it seems like it will be warm, but the arms are so short. I have a good four inches of wrist exposed. I don't think a real big deal, and but I like things longer.
I am 5/5" and maybe 110 and I got a Small.

Excellent Buy
By Snake Charmer from Texas on 5/25/2019
Fit: TRUE
XL, loose fit, worked perfectly for me on a recent trip to the Bahamas. Dries quickly, nit heavy when wet which made swimming easier than with a normal shirt. No sun got theu so I’d say the SPF protection was as advertised. Will be buying several more.

Great purchase
By Daisy from Austin, TX on 3/6/2019
Fit: TRUE
I swim year round in cold water, and wish I had ordered this years ago. It makes a big difference in terms of how long I can stay in the water. I am 5'6 and 162 pounds. I'm sort of small from the waist up, but have large hips, so its challenging to get a good fit. I took a chance and ordered a size large. It is a bit loose at the shoulders, but snug everywhere else. I think the medium would have been too tight at the hips. So, though its not perfect, I feel very good about the purchase, and highly recommend this product.

Too Snug!
By Teacherbabe from Dallas, TX on 11/20/2018
Fit: TOOSMALL
I'd love this to keep me warmer in the water. However, I must have misjudged the sizing as it was way too small. I'll try the next size up and hope for the best. I think it would definitely do the job and the quality looks good--just not a good fit--runs small.

QUALITY ITEM - RUNS SMALL
By BIG GUY from Appleton on 10/9/2018
Fit: TOOSMALL
This product is well constructed & of high quality; unfortunately, it was too small for my husband. He' s actually a 2XL & I ordered this in a 3XL because he wanted a looser fit. The 3XL was skin tight, so we had to return it & pay the postage to do so. Great product, just buy larger than you think you need!

nice and warm but how long will it last?
By Phyllis from Indianapolis/Shelbyville, IN on 9/9/2018
Fit: TRUE
I give swim lessons, outside, 7-8 hours a day, four days a week, for three months each summer. I have been so disappointed in my last two shirts (not FINIS brand) that did not make it through one summer. I alternate the two shirts, rinsing well after each use and drying flat. I have high hopes for this very warm FINIS shirt!

I recieved the speedo swim shirt and it was true as described. The shirt was too small for me, but I'm in between 2xl and 3xl. Easy return and quick credit added to my card. I will definitely shop SwimOutlet.com.

Great water aerobics shirt!
By Kathy from Denver Colorado on 8/25/2018
Fit: TRUE
I have been doing a water exercise class twice a week for 8 years. The water is often cold and this shirt helps keep me warm. I just ordered my 5th shirt. I would give it 5 stars but it does lose it color due to the chemicals in the water and it does stretch out. I would normally wear a medium but I buy a small. It is pretty skin tight for the first month but then stretches out. The tightness keeps me warm and comfortable and that is what I buy it for.

Fits like a Tee
By Eastern Surfing Assoc New York Dist. from Long Island on 7/31/2018
Fit: TOOBIG
This color green is really what prompted me to purchase these. We run a surfing contest org and the recent jerseys we ordered were bit of a color nightmare. When wet, our green jerseys are way too lime and look too similar to the neon yellow -- so we needed some GREEN jerseys. These colors are definitely exactly as described and pictured!
Overall the fit and fabric is super great. Very happy with these aspects.
I gave these 4 stars because the sizing is VERY generous. I understand it reads surf TEE but I'd have thought a famed wetsuit / watersports company such as XCEL would follow suit with the other industry brands regarding UV / rashguard sizing. Other surf brands often label their items slim fit, loose fit, compression fit, etc to give an expectation as to how to expect the fit. Since these merely say "surf tee" I had guessed it would basically be a "regular" fit but they seem much larger to me. I would think that tees made to wear in the water should be a tad slimmer (doesn't have to be tight) in the torso merely for comfort once in the water.
Xcel XS measured the same as our other-brand Adult Medium surf contest jerseys.
Xcel Med measured the same as our other-brand Adult XL surf contest jerseys
Unfortunately the Xcel XL jersys looked as though they were absolutely huge so we returned them as we can't see a need for anyone desiring such a loose cut for water sports usage

Awesome
By babrand from Evanston, IL on 7/3/2018

I didn't read the descriptions carefully enough and bought a slim fit shirt first. The loose fit style is best for my son. Excellent quality. Cool design. Pleased so far.

Nice shirt, my son loved it
By Suz from Boston on 6/28/2018
Fit: TRUE
I wasn't sure about what size to order ....my son is 5'11 and weighs around 120 and this shirt fits him very well. Not tight but not too big either. I was debating between a medium and large but I'm glad I went with the medium. Very nice quality, he's happy.

By APA from Erie PA on 6/27/2018

Really like this shirt. Keep in mind it’s a loose fit - I typically wear a medium t-shirt but because the description says loose fit, I ordered a small and it’s perfect!
