This dive skin is exactly what I was looking for! It's pink (!!!) and the cut is really comfortable. It's long enough to tuck into my wetsuit so that it doesn't ride up during the dive, and after the dive it dries really quickly. Also, it makes it SUPER easy to get into my wetsuit (semi-dry), even when wet.
One thing to note - dive skins are supposed to be very form-fitting/ tight, but you might want to order 1 size up on this skin. I typically wear a size 10 top (I'm a 36C, 5'7", 160 lb...s, "pear" shaped, henderson wetsuit size 8) and in this top I find the 12 to be the perfect fit. I was worried it might be a little big, but I followed the sizing chart (it said to order a 12) and the chart gave me a perfect fit - so follow the chart!!
Overall, I love this shirt. I'll probably buy a second one. I wish they had matching pants - but they only have matching shorts - which don't help you get the wetsuit on and off. GREAT product!
Bought both colors and they are both cute, expecially the blue one is my faverite. My usual size for wetsuite is Henderson Thermoplane front zipper in 6, but I chose size 10 in this Mares shirt and I am glad I did since they run smaller and I don't like shirts to be tight around my chest or shoulders. I bought them for my Little Cayman dive trip this summer to protect myself from the sun during the surface time but ended up not wearing much as the dive boat had plenty of roof. I think I will... wear them next time when I dive in tropical but winter season and / or night dives to give me extra layer. They look very cute so I might just wear them when I do yard work, too. lol

This is a high quality rash guard and it fits snug like it's suppose to!
DEBORAH J
It fits very close to the body like a second skin. So if you want it looser then size up.

I'm not sure I understand your question since it is about a rash guard t-shirt. It is just the shirt, it doesn't come with another piece and it doesn't come apart. It is high quality and true to fit per sizes. I really like the softness and colors. Hope this answered your question. If I can try to answer anything else just let me know...
ROBERT J
It's a one piece shirt and does not include the shorts shown in the modeled photo
AGNES T

DEBORAH J
A rash guard is just a top it does not include a bottom piece
Ivan F
Does it come with Rash Guard Shorts She Dives (mares code 412967)? If no, can you supply mares shorts?
YAN G
