I ordered a navy blue skort to wear on our vacation. I was shipped a white with turquoise stripe skort, which I would never wear. I do not have time before the vacation to get an exchange. I am returning it, but am being charged about $7 in restocking fee. Not my fault, but I have to pay.

Great company

Great company. I ordered a white swim shrug, and sadly after the first swim it turned yellow. They were open to investigate why this happened in the first place, but also easily sent out a new one in a different colour if I wanted to. Waiting for it to arrive now, but I think this solution to my problem is more than great and really thoughtful. Much appreciated and will definitely purchase something else if needed in the future!

FABULOUS products AND customer service

I am completely blown away by the quality and style of these swim suits! They are stunning for a middle aged to older woman who no longer looks great in tiny swim suits. I bought 2 and they’re SOOOO flattering!! And the quality is over the top wow. But best of all I had to call customer service today on an order problem and they were beyond helpful. More companies should take a page out of UVSkinz book on customer care. Like them so much just ordered $800 of outdoor clothes before we start a summer of water sports. I highly recommend.

Customer service update

This review is to update everyone on a negative review that I left regarding the return policy on an item marked Final Sale. I was able to contact customer service and they made every attempt to help me with my situation. So, overall, I am happy with the service that I received.

Reviews might be quite filtered

Bought UVSkinz face shields and they were inferior to others I have from another company, and even from ones I've gotten as freebies at race events. UVSkinz are thin, overly stretchy and lack decent finishing. Didn't stay up or even on my head as a headband. Reviewed them accordingly and have gotten long emails - that's plural - about it because they are in some kind of denial that anybody would not love them. Customer service rep said she wanted to deal with this internally and not publish the review. Wow.

Great if you want a sunburn

Here i am, stupidly going on an hour long hike with about 30 minutes of direct sun, thinking because I have on a uvskins hoodie with a shirt underneath me and my vitiligo should be ok. Here's me at home later, wondering why my chest hurts then realizing I got a good sunburn right on my vitiligo spots. More than a little under impressed. I'd attach a photo but I can't figure out how to do so.

This is a very trustworthy company

This is a very trustworthy company. The product quality is very good. But more important is how they run a business. I had to return a few items and that was easy. Sent them back, got money back, it was no hussle

I purchased swimming shorts and tops to wear in pool aerobics. Prior to purchase
I spoke with a UV Skinz representative to make sure their swimware was chlorine resistant. I've worn the shorts and top for a little over a month and they have not held up. They have small holes, are worn and stretched. I wound not recommended their swimware for aquatic aerobics.

We love the rash guards and the hats that we ordered. Initially ordered size 6 for my boys who just turned 6 and they were too small. Ended up ordering size 8 but unfortunately I received one size 8 and one size 10. I just kept the size 10 because I needed it for the boys’ swimming lessons right away. I have not tried their swimming trunks yet but all items are well made and good quality.

Comfortable and Attractive

The material is super comfortable and looks very attractive. I wore it for vacation swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking in Cancun Mexico. It fully protected my skin, was 100% comfortable in and out of water. It air dried quickly yet was comfortable to wear again when damp.

The suit was ill fitting

The suit was ill fitting. Too short in the torso, too long in the sleeves. The leg openings were WAY too large. The zipper was not long enough to get into the suit with ease. Good try, but I had to pay to ship it internationally and pay to return. Not designed for plus size body, even thought they sell plus size items.

Land Wear Great

I haven’t tried my jacket and tights in the water yet, thus the four stars. Both items fit and look great. I like the fabric because it feels great when the clothes are on. The waist on the tights is a little tight, I usually wear a petite 4 or 6. When I opened the little zipper pocket they were just fine. I can’t wait to try out this stuff at the Great Barrier Reef!

I like the new designs

I like the new designs, but these 2 shirts do not feel like the same quality as my previous UV skins. I bought 2 in 2012 and put them through the rigors of Scuba, snorkeling, water parks, beach time, etc. They held up for 6.5 years. These 2 new ones were snagged after 2 dives.
