The color (we got blue/turquoise) and style are very cute, so my 4 year old will actually wear this. Quality seems very good-it's opaque enough to stop the sun. Saves a lot of struggles over getting sun screen on her upper half...just have to do the lower arms and hands now. Dries very quickly.

This shirt offers great protection from the sun, while looking stylish. My girls love the shirts, and will therefore wear them while swimming in the heat of the day, or hanging out at the pool.

There are simply no better sun protection shirts available! Though they tend to run a bit on the small side (I buy one size up), they perform their function (sun protection) perfectly (for my two pasty white children), they wash beautifully, retain their shape wonderfully and look great. Other than being a bit off in the sizing, I could not recommend more highly!!

This is our first year trying out Mini Boden Rash Vests for my 8 yr. old daughter. She just started her summer swim lessons and this rash guard has been terrific! She is tall and slim and the size 7-8 fits her beautifully (snug but not at all tight). The blue & green color matches well with the blue poppies bikini bottoms and the Sea Blue Surf Shorts. Our top 3 reasons for loving this vest:
1. slim fitting design looks great
2. 3/4 sleeves are the ideal length -- allows great coverage and movement
3. doesn't stretch out in water

We loved this so much, I ordered the red/pink one too --- my daughter isn't really into pink and this is like cotton candy pink, so we're not sure if we'll keep this one.

I appreciate the information that the fabric compromises some of its ability to block UVA/UVB rays when stretched.

This is a great rash shirt for the summer. My daughter is fair skinned and this shirt will give her the protection along with a great style!!

I actually bought this for my four year old son. The blue color is perfect, matches well with his Boden swim shorts, and seems well-made.

my daughter waits summer for swimmming on the beach. I think it protects her skin against uv.

My daughter and I love this top! It has a great sleeve length (just over the elbow compared to long or short sleeve) which is very hard to find. My daughter tends to easily burn on her shoulders, neck and body so this top is very useful. We love the color (green), despite the fact that my daughter originally chose the pink which was sold out and this makes a lovely difference to the standard pink. My daughter is on the slightly smaller end of the 6 year-old spectrum and the length is not long on her. I love the fact that she can wear it with a bikini bottom, which Boden sell as separates, another bonus! Mini Boden has done good this year! Keep it coming...

Perfect rash vest for the beach, I'll be ordering one in each color.
