This top was fairly cute (for a large rashguard), and worked well on my trip to Hawaii. I mostly wore it for snorkeling. It essentially worked as a swimsuit for me (I need the coverage, due to not being slim and also easy to sunburn)--I wore it in combination with a Champion Double Dry Spot Comfort Full Support Sports Bra, plus a pair of Zoots triathlon shorts. Wearing this top with the bra (which I bought in a bright blue color so it really could be almost a bikini top) meant that I had lots more support than I usually get with a swimsuit, and it was easy to change between a regular T-shirt and this top when it was time to get in the water, and back again when I wanted to sit on the beach or hike back to the hotel. It was comfortable and worked well to protect from the sun. It was a pretty close fit (not loose) but not snug or tight. The bottom edge could float up a bit in the water but was easy to tug down once in awhile or I could have tucked it into my shorts. It also rinsed and dried pretty fast. I thought it worked great, and I will bring it whenever I head to the beach.

Amending this review to say that I also used this for a pool-based water fitness class that was at noon. 12 weeks in the pool finished this shirt--it faded and the fabric thinned, no longer affording UV protection, despite me rinsing it well after every use. A good shirt for the beach, not so great at resisting chlorine.
