I wore it under my we suite since it is sleeveless. It helped keep my arms warm and it held its shape so far. I've used it three times and it was put in the dryer twice.

I'm told by my wife the material does stretch. She is smaller bra size, but told me that you should be good to go.

In my opinon they run a little small. Get a mens or the next size up in a womens size.

I wear a 36D bra and bought a size large. It was tight but not uncomfortable. The fabric is not loose at all. It's bathing suit material.

It's not padded, but the fabric is very thick and it's lined. It offers a degree of compression--at least I feel that it sort of "squeezes" my chest, but it's a mild compression. I've never used compression bras or tops so I don't know how it would compare to something intentionally designed to compress. For me, it provides support without hurting.

No the fabric is not very stretchy. It is very sturdy yet comfortable. I wear them during summer park events as police duty shorts. The waist band is stretchy. They are the best shorts for that type of work.

I recommend to buy the size L. the fabric is very stretchy and the seams tear not easily. So you get the best compression. Maybe the neckline could be to narrow for you, if you are very muscular, but this one can say for all sizes. tristran.

It is neoprene and will wear and stretch but it will only expand slightly. If it is uncomfortable once it is wet you need a larger size.

This does not fit like a tight rashguard used for scuba diving. It is more like a fitted t-shirt that you might you might see in the swimsuit section. It is fitted enough that it doesn't swell with water and float up. I ordered the standard size I would wear in a fitted t-shirt and it fit perfectly.

I only wore it around the pool in Palm Springs. It's not form fitting, at least the size I got for myself but I don't like them to fit that way...but no issues with the shirt getting hot.Hope that helps. Ps. lots of compliments on the "look" of the shirt.

I wear a medium however I am full-busted. I ordered a large. It fits well-no sagging even when wet. I have worn it in the pool (lap swim) over 10 times.

I am a female with a 38 chest but I have the small/medium. It works great. As another reviewer said you slide your arm through and tighten it. i think you might want to try the large/xlarge. Call the company and ask them.

I am short but stocky and typically fall right between medium and large - I ordered the large vest - it is a snug fit in the chest but gaps at the shoulders.This not ideal but since I bought it as an extra layer for paddling the reverse would be worse. The material is stretchy = somewhat forgiving.

I think that the top fits comfortably. It is a little full but definitely not an oversized full... if that makes sense. I've purchased tips in my side before that were uncomfortably snug and I ended up wearing a top over it, I don't have to di that with this top. It's great. I'm a size large (38DD) so I may be larger than the others who answered. I did not show my sports bra lines. I hope this helped.

It's kinda long and stretchy...my waist is 28-30 and it fits me. If you want it tight (which I do for back support), you shouldn't have a problem. The Velcro is nice and wide and doesn't slip. If it's not tight enough for you, you can always have a friend or hubby help wrap you up! ;)

I wear size 20W, but this unitard was not roomy enough in the bust and there was no support. I wear a size 42D bra. The waist probably would have been okay.

I am a 38 c n the large was more like a 34/36. I kept it as it was very inexpensive. But will probably not ever use it. Good luck.

Jose has a point, but thermal isn't for laps. I have a variety of wetsuits including a plain neoprene short suit with long sleeves and a sleeveless 3/4" terry lined suit for California Deep Diving. This shirt you want is perfect for laps, so what if it is ALSO UV protection, it keeps drops of water off your arms as you lift them from the pool so cold air doesn't hit your wet arms, thus you stay warm. UV is a bonus but not your focus. Treat yourself, O'Neill has a great reputation !!

I'm a 36C and ordered the large. It fits close and keeps me from bouncing, but isn't uncomfortable in any way. I ordered the gray and then ordered 2 more because they're my favorite gym bras. I don't know if the medium would be too tight or if it would just offer more support. I don't like to be squeezed so I'm staying with the large. They wash really well too. I don't put them in the dryer but they dry really fast hanging up.
