If you use a chafe/rash guard with this vest, do you need a full body piece? Will it ride up under the vest if you just use a rash guard shirt?

My grandson wears a regular t-shirt style bras guard shirt under this vest and has no problem with the shirt riding. It does not chafe him or irritate him at all. He loves to wear it and enjoys swimming with it. I hope this helps.

My boys wore this vest with and also without a swimshirt with no problem. The vest has a "tail" that goes between the legs which keeps it in place.

As others have commented, the thickness with the weights is the one issue I think you'll run into. But it is a great vest that stays tight to the body and because its "short", it allows for a lot of movement and flexibility in workouts.

I wear it over a light shirt, but under a jacket or sweater because I had read reviews that said it can irritate the skin if worn under a shirt. It is elastic, but it's not so firm that it would cut into the skin unless perhaps you wore it all day. The manufacturer recommends wearing it for short periods of time, and I think that is good advice. It's not meant for wearing during very active times either, in my opinion. I also don't think it would look very good under just a shirt unless you have no back fat at all!

I am 5'3", small stature. I use the small size and wear a polypropylene thermal shirt. it protects me from the sun and also keeps me warmer. it helps keep the vest snug. you can try it.

the weights in the front and back are stacked double thick. so there's about 2 inches of vest. it makes it a little awkward doing a sit up. I haven't tried too many, I use it mostly for leg exercises, but i'm sure if you put a towel under your back or something to make up the 2 inches it would be more comfortable.

No, I wore it under a clothing all the time. With the clothing on top it will feel a bit tight. But after a little while you will get used to it. Hope this answered your question.

No, the tank does not ride up. I really like this top from Under Armour. It is great at wicking sweat, and looks good too. I have been working out for years and once I found these tops about 2 years ago at a Sporting goods store and tried them, I love them. It is the only top that I wear to work out now, I have it in many colors. It is nice that Amazon carries them as they are cheaper here than in the stores.

Not at all. There are two clamps on the front lines of the vest that tighten it down, and the reflective belt fits snug up against your body, so no bounce. Just order your size based on your measurements.

Hello. Sorry for the late reply. I would suggest you get one size larger then what you wear. You can wear the shirt as a stand alone (meaning by itself), but if you have combat gear, bullet resistance/proof vest, or other add on shirt/gear, it would be recommended to get one size larger then what you normally wear. Especially in cold climates or environment, wearing a shirt underneath this or over it. I usually wear a large, but because I wash my clothes a lot over periods of months and wear other shirts under it or sometimes over it, I end up wearing/purchasing X-Large. Does that make sense? Hope that helps. If not, let me know, I can try to further clarify. Thanks for asking. Hello. Sorry for the late reply. I would suggest you get one size larger then what you wear.

This shirt is a rash guard. It is very thin, not neoprene, with no insulation factors whatsoever. I use to to protect from sun and to keep BCD from rubbing. I am a Master Diver and have logged many dives with this. It would be appropriate for warm tropical diving to protect from chafing, but will not keep you warm.

The vest does ride a little high, but not uncomfortably high. I did an 8 mile, and a 10 mile ride, and I almost forget that it's there. It never chafed (for me - I guess every body is different,) and it stayed out of my way.

To be honest, it will be a little bulky under just a shirt. I've tried and it's better under a jacket than it us just a shirt. They are comfortable, but I said, just a little bulky, but that's mainly because of the thickness of the frame of the Glock.

Tighten the vest over whatever clothes you will be wearing, . Mine works very well.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps

Yes you can wear this under your clothes. Be sure that the belt covers your belly because if it does not then the sweat will roll downward and will be shown.

We bought our for an 11 pound chug. (chiquaqua-pug mix) Our chug is very broad through the shoulders, so it can be hard to find vests that fit and don't restrict movement. The thundershirt fit fine and did not restrict movement.

I wear a med. shirt & a guy that has this same vest is a 2 x. I have the straps at the top as little as they will go. It is a little bulky around the shoulders on me. I just got it this year so I just figured it will take a little getting used to. I thought about taking it to a seamstress to get the top a little less bulky. I hope this helps.
