Lavacore Women's Long Sleeve Hooded Shirt 10

I normally wear a woman's size 12. I ordered a 12 MD. I hear the lavacore will stretch, but right now it is quite tight under the arms. I've only worn it twice. While it isn't good to have a too large fit, the tight fit is sort of annoying. The warmth is good. I was snorkling for 2 hours with it on- and did not get cold. The water temperature was a nice 84 F, but after 2 hours I'd normally be cold. It is soft and fuzzy inside. Nice. I was worried about it taking days to dry- but after rinsed it out, and hung it on line, it was dry by the next morning. All set to use again.

Very durable. Arms won't stretch out like other products. Do not machine dry this product. Washing is ok but do not dry!

I love their delivery, because I love in NJ I get everything I order next day.

May run slightly small, got the large and it is a little tighter than I thought it would be, which will help to go under a full 3mil. Especially like that it is neutrally bouyant.

Shirt is nice. Was a little tight the first time I tried it on but now goes on great. Wore it under my 3mil wetsuit in HI. Worked great.

I'm lanky and usually a large, had to get XL, the girth of sleeves and shoulder areas are cut small.

I had to return the 3X size. I have a 46" chest and the 3x was far too small. Very hard to get into, impossible to get out of. Probably a good idea. I might order a 4x if it's available

When I first opened the package I thought maybe I bought the wrong product. Somewhat difficult to get on, especially when dry (but slips right on and off like as t-shirt, when wet). But my first use was a pleasant suprise. Wore all day in 85* sunny weather both in the water and out, mostly for sun protection. I think wearing this (wet) in the sun is actually cooler than wearing no shirt at all. I selected this item specifically because the attached hood, which I like to pull over my headstrap for my GoPro camera mount to ensure that I won't lose my camera.

Used in combination with my Henderson 5mm half suit to add warmth to my head for those deep tropical dives past 100'. Great by itself for warm water shore dives... worked nicely on a recent shore dive on Oahu down to 49'. Kept me warm and toasty for 48 minutes underwater. Added weight was negligible. From a sizing perspective... I'm 5'6", 190 lbs, 46" chest, and 38" waist so I purchased the XL shirt. Girth wise it was a perfect fit but the length was a bit long. The bottom of the torso hangs a little over my butt which isn't really an issue. Likewise the arm length is ~1" too long but it doesn't affect my dives negatively. I may ask my wife to trim down the sleeves someday but for now it works as is. Enjoy the dive.

I also own the hooded vest. The hooded shirt will be great for colder water.

Works well as an alternative to neoprene. Easy to don/doff, even when damp or wet. I dive this with a Fourth Element Thermocline john and am fine in waters 76F+. I add a 3 mil shorty for waters down to 72F or for the 3rd or 4th dive in one day. I love thus stuff.
