Best rash guard ever! I use it frequently. Local diving and traveling with it. I will purchase this again when I need another one. I have two already.

Nice stuff - but the sizing is WAY WAY WAY off. I ended up 3 sizes up from the first attempt. I'm larger than most at 5'10' 265 but still - I ended up ordering 3 times. Be sure you measure carefully first - then order at least 2 sizes up - I recommend 3 if you are doing active sports (I am a winter standup paddler). I had to order King1 from another vendor when I discovered on the size-chart hanging off the shirt that 4X wasn't the largest size (it was the largest on Leisure Pro site) - King1 says on the tag it is 290-320lbs and measurements way beyond mine (King2 is for taller/thinner not heavier btw). I tried a 2X - ok - I should have measured - by my measurements I was 3X and I decided on 4X so I could move/maybe wear lingers - I can get a 4X on, but can't really move. I might need 4x if I can drop to 235lbs but I'm not sure - I have large arms. Size King1 - is about right for me. I'm very stocky/very strong, a lot of my weight is in arms/legs and the top is not loose anywhere, even waistline. If you are larger than 265-275 you may not be able to use this product. Leiser Pro was great about returns - but I paid about half the total value in the 2 return shipping costs to get it right. Use a flat rate USPS box it's much cheaper than the one it comes in. After all that - I've used the top one time, out paddling in ambient about 50f and winds of 10 to 15 knots - it's great. Kept my torso warm and cozy I need to fall in a few times to really test it but I think it's just what I need. Erik In Alaska.

Nice weight, good fit, though a bit tight getting on over the head. Fits under my 5mm if needed for extra warmth.

I normally wear a medium but in this product I took a large...

Great warmth with no bulk. Much better than a wetsuit.

I ordered the 3xl size based on the measurements in the sizing chart. My measurements were between the 2xl and 3xl and I'm glad I went with the larger size. The shirt was very tight when I first put it on but was very comfortable in the water. I was snorkeling for a couple of hours and found that the shirt didn't impede my motion and was very effective as a rash guard and sun block. I was swimming in the BVI and wasn't chilled. You could use this as a wet suit alternative in the Caribbean. Highly recommended.

Order larger than guidelines say. Runs small. I bit difficult to get over your head. I ordered two pieces instead of a one piece wetsuit. Due to the difficulty in getting on and off I would likely pick something you step into. Was great for warmth in the cold Galapagos Islands! Wore under a shortie provided by cruise.

Very well made. Excellent materials. I use it for scuba in slightly cooler seas and the first, deep dive of the day. Perfect for me

Leisure Pro again provided excellent service and delivered a great product. Just dove with the Lavacore Mens' longsleeve shirt in Cayman Brac. Not one that gets cold this offered me as much protection as a 3 mil shorty. Love that it is fleece lined. I would highly recommend Leisure Pro and the Lavacore line of products. Note that I ordered a 3x size and normally would do 2x and it was snug but was the right fit. 6'1" and 240 lbs.

I have a Lavacore hooded vest in a Large that fits fine, but when I wanted a long sleeve shirt I ended up having to go up to XL. I'm 6'2", 185 lbs, 42" chest and by the sizing chart a Large should fit (5'10" to 6'1", 210-240 lbs, 42-46" chest). I tried on a Large at my local shop but there was no way I was going to fit in it. They didn't have XL (5'11" to 6'2", 235-265 lbs, 44-48" chest per the chart) in stock so I ordered from Leisure Pro. Out of the package even it seemed small as it had little stretch trying to put it on. But on my first trip I found that once it was wet from a previous dive it has more stretch and went on/off much easier. It's definitely not loose, even wet, but I think XL is the right size for me.

I am allergic to Neoprene and this was a very good option for me. It does not seem as thick as Neoprene in the 3mm range, and it is smaller than advertised, but it does it job and doesn't cause me to itch for 3-5 days after I wear it. It does seem to be solidly constructed.

Ordered this for my 6'4" son with a 44 inch chest and he couldn't even get close to getting it on.

I love this shirt, very warm and neutrally bouyant. I can wear this layered or as a stand-alone. The only con I have found so far is the slow dry time, but that is not a big deal.

Even thought the Lavacore size chart showed I needed a large, I ordered the extra large based on previous reviews. When I tried it on it was at least 2 sizes too small!! Very disappointing, don't buy.

This product was just as advertised. The sizing was perfect according to the chart LavaCore provided. I havent used it yet but itnseems a perfect option for warm water diving.

Wish I could write a review based on use. Since most reviews pointed out we should buy a size bigger than indicated, I did. Unfortunately even TWO sizes larger that I should need based on the charts was too small, I had to return for a size THREE size larger. Now those are out of stock and I have nothing at all to take on my dive trip next week. Lovely.

I was impressed by the Lavacore shirt while on a liveaboard in Socorro, where 2 dive instructors were wearing them. They both highly recommended this high quality product, so of course, I ordered one. The older I get (and after 1500+ ocean dives), the less I want to be cold while diving. The product arrived quickly, and as described. My only negative observation is that despite me being well within/ at the low end of the LG size chart dimensions, the Lavacore Long sleeve LG shirt is quite tight. I can see where I might need assistance getting it off after a dive. I had originally ordered the ML size, and LeisurePro was great about refunding/ exchanging for a LG. I have decided to keep the LG size, and have a tight fit.

Very nice shirt - ran very small - sadly, had to return.

I used the Lavacore shirt with Lavacore short pants as my base layer under a 2mm/3mm wetsuit while doing Cenote diving in Mexico late August 2017 and both worked great. I was concerned because I was told I'd need a 5mm for diving in a Cenote, but I was very comfortable with my Lavacore shirt/pants and 2mm/3mm wetsuit. I wore the Lavacore pants and shirt over my rash guard pants and shirt. I wear an XL rash guard, but I wanted the Lavacore shirt and pants to fit snug, so I ordered the Lavacore pants and shirt in a Large. It was snug, but I was able to put both on dry and take both off wet. I took the Lavacore shirt off between Cenote dives and was able to get the damp shirt back on wet.

Great product. Too small. Sizes run SMALL!!!! I would add 2 sizes to what the chart shows

Well made product, fits very small, use the size chart to determine appropriate size. Warmer than a traditional wetsuit, both in and out of the water (on the boat trip back). Flexible enough to be easy to put on.

I love this shirt! It adds just the right extra layer of warmth & comfort for my second dive of the day.

I just wanted to let everyone know - when the other reviews state size's run small they aren't kidding. I'm a Large: always have been - Got the shirt: Returning it for X-Large.

The Lavacore top and bottoms were simple wonderful to use. My only advice is that they run small. I had to second day air a larger size before my trip to get it on time. I used a neoprene dry suite on my trip to to Galapagos which fit much closer then my cloth dry suite, so I was happy that the Lavacore fit snug to me body. Chad

Purchased the Lavacore short sleeve shirt for diving in Wisconsin all year long. Wanted something for under a 7mm wet suit to keep the heat in by my body. I already have Lavacore socks, which are fantastic. This shirt is great for that purpose. We do ice diving in the winter and this shirt helps a lot. Normal water temperature is 34 - 47 degrees. I ordered an XL and it was true to the fit and tight. I wanted it that way to remove unnecessary water movement. My only issue is when it is wet, removal is difficult unless you have your buddy help start peel it up.

This stuff is great for cold water. I wore the short sleeve short for a quarry dive last week. Under a 7 mil wetsuit it was great. Bottom temp at 60 feet was 46 degrees. It does a terrific job. (Just order it a little big. The sizes run small.)
