My husband has a ton of Free Fly apparel and wears sized medium in everything. This piece was so tight he could barely get it on. Once he squeezed into it it looked ridiculous. It was tight everywhere- torso, arms, shoulders, neck.... I thought maybe it was mis-labeled and was maybe a women’s medium so I tried it on myself- I normally wear a women’s small- but it was even tight in the torso on me, though too big in the arms/shoulders. So it was either just a manufacturing defected piece or it’s a bad design. The birch color is just strange. I wanted it to be more of a creme/ecru color but it just looks dingy.
Wore this for 7 days while windsurfing down on the equator. Tons of sun and water. Rash guard held up great and provided excellent sun protection.
Quality product. True to size and love the form fit!
