Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Face it, one of the target markets (if not the only one) for swim shirts is large guys who don't have beach bodies. Meaning they generally have a belly of some size. There are plenty of skin-tight "athletic fit" swim shirts out there for the athletic, fit guys with small bellies. The rest of us look for something like this swim tee. I got an XXL, and brand new it still fits a bit tighter than most of my XXL tee shirts. However, that isn't entirely a bad thing because you are wearing it in the water, and baggy would drag you down. I'm 6'0", 275 lbs., and the XXL was about maxed out. If you are taller or bigger than me, I suggest you keep looking. Otherwise, just be realistic about your size, considering that most American retailers are increasing their sizes, and that the sizes from Kanu Surf are a little conservative. Once wet, it does tend to cling to your body as you get out of the water, just like a swimsuit does. One pull and it releases, and then it generally hangs free and looks good. I was very happy with it, it let me focus on swimming with my kid instead of worrying about my farmer's tan and size.
