CoolibarUPF 50+ Women's Deep Water Swim Capris - Sun Protective

I am excited to wear this wonderful SPF swim capri!In trying it on for size, I am very pleased with the fit and feel - very comfortable!Really like the rise / waistband at the navel.I compared it to a different brand, (UVskins) and I like the fit of the coolibar better; more comfortable and higher waistband, plus the leg length is longer, offering more coverage.So smart to cover up with clothing instead of using sunscreen. Collibar is pricey but I can justify this purchase and feel good about it too. Trying to protect my skin after too many ignorant years of sun exposure. Medium is perfect for me 5'. 3" tall and 140#Recommend!

Great sun protection and in the water. Light weight material and flattering style . Very comfortable. Great price too.

I tried these on and like the fabric it is very light, comfortable and the fabric is such that I can wear them as capri leggings. I bought a medium based on the Coolibar leggings I recently bought, but feel I should have ordered a small they are a little loose fitting for swim pants. I do like there is an adjustable waist drawstring, therefore, I am not returning them. I have not tried them in water yet so I don't know if the fabric will stretch while wet and sag.

UPDATE: I bought these over 3 years ago and I have 3 pair. Excluding a short time for Covid lockdowns they have each pair been worn close to a couple times a week for my water aerobics class. 3 years - 2 times a week! I think that is absolutely amazing considering the corrosive nature of pool water. When the time comes and I need new ones...you know I will consider nothing else but these.I have been trying to find a quality pair of swimming pants for water aerobics class since the first of the year. I tried a few of the lower cost capri pants. The ones with the shiny, slick look and feel, that run in the $23 dollar range, but while initially they may work there are always issues. Below the belly button style! Seriously, why would a plus size woman buying swimming pants ever need a below the belly button style? The drawstrings are not long enough and pull through, the fabric stretches out after about 10 uses such that the leg loosens up and rides over the knee while working out. These pants are distinctly different from the cheaper ones I have purchased. First of all there is adequate rise at the waist - absolutely perfect. The fabric is substantive and not slick and shiny but rather matte and with some "grab". And the drawstring is not open ended so no risk of pull through. More importantly the legs stay down below my knee while doing my workout. I don't mind paying the higher price for something of this quality. Well worth it.

So....I was very hesitant to get these, mostly because of the price point. But after a couple of returns of similar products, I decided to give them a try. I'm so happy I did. I used the size chart, I am a 14 and I got a large. They fit absolutely perfect!!! They are extremely comfortable and they look great with my sarong(s). I bought them in black and navy, then hurried back to get the grey ones. I don't get in the water a lot, mostly because I don't swim and also because I don't find the bathing suits flattering. However, I feel much more confident wearing an article of clothing I'd wear any day, but this one is made for the activity. I am 53, so I don't want to show too much skin, I'm more on the conservative side. However, paired with the right top, these can be made to be very sexy if thats what you want. I don't know about the peek a boo aspect, haven't gone in the water yet, but should I have any problem, I will update this review. There is also a pair with the skirt option. But I would say these are definitely worth the purchase and I hope to get a lot of wear out of them.

Last week I got my COOLIBAR UPF 50+ Women's Deep Water Swim Capris - Sun Protective. I soaked them in mild soap for two days, then machine washed separately with lots of water. It was my FIRST TIME WEARING today for my one hour of pool exercises. They were quite comfortable and very flexible with body exercise movements. Swim Pants WITH a gusset , like COOLIBAR, are so much more comfortable than Swim Pants WITHOUT a gusset. I started The Pool and COOLIBAR 3 years ago, lost weight and needed a smaller size. GO COOLIBAR, you're TOPs on my list.

I have several Coolibar sun shirts. I am 65, 5.5 feet tall, and 140lbs. They are good quality. The ad suggested I buy a large. I bought medium. The waist is above belly button. The length is fine. The waist was a little loose. I should have got the small. When I get in the water, I don’t feel that these hold their shape. I thought a small would be too small, but after getting in water, I wish I would have gotten a smaller size. I am an average build.

No need to apply sunscreen and add chemicals to you or the coral reefs if you pair this with a rash guard. Great for kayaking, swimming and snorkeling. The fabric is thin enough to be cool, yet protect from the sun. I think they could improve the waistband. It is narrow like the old elastic string style in a narrow fabric tube, they should make it flat and wide. And it is a little loose on the legs. Otherwise perfect.
