The O’Neill Basic Skins short sleeve rash guard is a decent option for those looking for a form-fitting short sleeve rash guard.
This rash guard provides 50 UPF and is made of comfortable, stretchy material, allowing your movement to be unrestricted. The stitching is not noticeable, preventing any discomfort at the seams during long periods of wear. The material also is also durable, so this rash guard might be able to last you a few seasons.
The O’Neill Basic Skins rash guard runs small, especially in the bust, so definitely go up a size or even 2. With the wrong fit, the sleeves feel short and tight, which could lead to chafing. The tight fit and lack of boardshort connector allows the rash guard to ride up, but then won’t fall back into place naturally.
This rash guard will work for you if size up accordingly and you prefer a tight-fitting short sleeve guard. For those looking for a looser fit, this is not the rash guard for you.
