Great swim shirt!
By triston osborne on Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2024
I absolutely love my Kanu UPF 50 swim shirt! Not only does it provide great sun protection, but it also fits like a dream and is super comfortable to wear all day long. The fabric is soft and breathable, making it perfect for a day at the beach or by the pool. I appreciate the stylish design and the variety of colors and patterns available. Overall, I highly recommend the Kanu UPF 50 swim shirt for anyone looking for a high-quality, functional, and fashionable swim shirt.

This runs way too small.
By heartnbutterfly on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2023
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.

A size up was a little too big. Did hold a lot of water

I'm 5'11" and 255 lbs with medium build and a good sized potbelly. I bought a size up based on reviews and got the XXL but feel like the XL would have been enough.Just spent a weekend at the Texas Gulf ocean and feel slightly disappointed; mainly due to the size and water retention. The MATERIAL is great and comfortable with no itching, rash or anything like that.SUN protection is great as I am as pale as I ever was where the shirt covered. I spent a few hours out each day and it was 95-105 real feel each day but I didn't get even tan underneath.WATER RETENTION - it wasn't terrible and could be because it fit loosely on my and there was a lot of cloth but I did have to ring it out on all sides while walking back on shore to not have that wet-t-shirt vibe for a bearded male. It definitely wasn't as bad as cotton but more than I expected.DESIGN - i would have preferred a straight black one but the black with gray sides isn't terrible.DURABILITY - heavy use over an extended memorial weekend with good strong gulf waves and it looks like I haven't worn it. Only washed and air dried once thus far.OVERALL: I don't know about the buy a size up but maybe it's because the only thing keeping me out of a large (in my regular tees) is my potbelly and my love handles so perhaps XL would be a technical size up for me, I don't know. But I'll probably be getting an XL next. I will choose another brand if I can get it in all black though this was the best rated swim shirt

Absolutely love it! Comfortable and while it blocks the son rays it doesn’t leave me feeling hot or uncomfortable while in the pool. Nice breathable fabric and sizing is true to advertising. Material seems to be great quality! Highly recommend!
GREAT fit, style and durability! For the price, buy two!

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.
True to Size. Love this!

I got this shirt today, quick turnaround thank you. I immediately tried it on and loved the feel of it. I am a 6ft man, athletic build, with big shoulders and weigh in about 285lbs. I got the XXL and this fit me perfect without being too tight. I tried it out in the pool for most of the afternoon here in AZ and weather was mid 90s today. I feel like I could wear this all day and be fine. Quality shirt for the pool or water, and wearing it a long time. My wife loved ot too. I will be a repeat buyer for this. Thank you so much for making a great comfy quality product. I wear a XXL shirt normally so this was a perfect fit. Felt like I was wearing a nice tshirt.
XXL is an XXL or maybe larger

These are simple T-shirts made with quick drying materials, nothing more. If you are an XL or XXL you can wear it as a T-shirt without worrying about it binding. The bottoms are not tapered, so the fit is very relaxed. In fact, I am going to order an XL I like the XXL so much.I think they are a great value for $20 so they get a five-star rating. The material is light and stretches when wet, so it becomes another size or two in the water.This is not a problem snorkeling - in fact they're GREAT for snorkeling because they don't bind in the water. However, they are not perfect for more active water sports (like playing with your kids) because as I've noted they "grow" in the water. You know how your kids latch on to anything they can in the water - skin, HAIR (ouch) or your t-shirt if you're wearing one? Well, this will stretch it out even more. You can't just dry it over a chair-back, then, because it retains some of the stretch. Only a spin-dry seems to restore it.Another problem with these is that there is no air vent at the top, so the wet fabric turns into a balloon as soon as it traps air. This, with your kids stretching the fabric out around your chest and back, makes the shirt very uncomfortable. If it was too large to begin with I can see it becoming dangerous if you aren't a good swimmer.In summary, this is a good value as a T-shirt with the SPF an added bonus. You don't have to buy two sizes too large because they are cut very relaxed. In fact, I'm ordering another a size DOWN. The downside is that the material "grows" in the water, which isn't a problem unless you're doing something more active than simple snorkeling (which these excel at), and your kids can really stretch it out so it becomes uncomfortable.I might even buy some of those plastic grommets and install my own air-vents!
