Tournesol Women's Two Piece Rash Guard Short Sleeve Swim (Style XLCB)

Our review of the Tournesol Women's Two Piece Rash Guard finds it best suited for active swimmers and outdoor paddlers who need reliable sun protection and practical coverage. The set combines a short sleeve rash guard top with a built-in bra and high waist boyshorts that include pockets, making it a smart pick for kayaking, beach days, or pool workouts. The standout reason to buy is the blend of sun protection and functional details: UPF 50+ fabric, a secure built-in bra with removable pads, and shorts designed not to ride up while carrying small essentials.

Key Features

• UPF 50+ Sun Protection: The rash guard provides strong coverage for shoulders and upper arms to reduce risk of sunburn during long outdoor sessions.
• Built-in Bra with Removable Pads: The top includes sewn stitching to keep pads in place but allows removal if you prefer a different insert or no padding.
• Adjustable Drawstring Hem: The hem can be tightened or loosened for a personalized fit and to keep the top secure during activity.
• High Waist Boyshorts with 7 in Inseam: The shorts cover the belly and the 7 in inseam offers full leg coverage that resists rolling up.
• Side Pockets: Two pockets in the shorts hold phones up to 6.7 in, so small essentials can travel with you.
• Built-in Briefs: The integrated briefs are skin-friendly and non see-through, eliminating the need for a separate liner.

Who It's For

The set suits women who prioritize sun protection and modest coverage without sacrificing mobility, such as kayakers, paddleboarders, and active beachgoers. The built-in bra and removable pads make it useful for those who want light support without adding a separate sports bra.

Those who need heavy impact support or precise sizing for complex body shapes should look elsewhere, since customer feedback shows mixed opinions on fit and bra support and some wearers find the sizing runs small. If a low-rise brief or minimal coverage swimwear is preferred, this high waist design will not match those tastes.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good sun coverage and fabric quality that customers say resists sunburn on shoulders.
• Practical pockets in the shorts allow a phone up to 6.7 in to be carried securely.
• Comfortable 7 in inseam and high waist deliver modest coverage and prevent rolling.
• Removable bra pads give flexibility between light support and no padding.

Cons

• Sizing can run small for some; potential buyers should consult size guidance before ordering.
• Support from the built-in bra is light to moderate, so it may not satisfy those needing strong bust support.
