    You are right! They don’t list a UPF! It is very tightly woven/knitted - thicker than a rash guard - I’m fair and haven’t had any burning - even after 2 days at the beach.

    Add me to the Athleta chorus. I have about 4 suits from there. I have 2 with the scrunch skirt (built in panty and the sides raise or lower based on coverage you want) and I adore them. I've tried the shorts but haven't found a good fit for my pear shape yet.

I'm amazed.

    Athleta, for sure! LOL!!! And because they have FS/FR you can order a bunch to try and return what doesn't work. I'm very hard to fit and I love my athleta suits. The Kata shorts (the original ones) are great! Not sure about the 2.0. The rash guards are great, I have several (Both long sleeve and short sleeve and sleeveless). I have several of the older version of the Pacifica UPF tees and the ones I have are made of polyester, which is one of the best fabrics to hold up under harsh chlorine conditions.

    I love my Aqualuxe rash guard (sleeveless) which I wear over a bikini top and it essentially looks like a tankini.

    Have fun shopping

    I love Athleta’s kata swimmshorts. Much better than landsend ones. I pair them target or landsend tankini tops- athleta tops are just no flattering on my mom bod.

    Athleta or Title Nine. I do bikini tops with swim shorts but they have various kinds of combinations.

    I wear a combo of bikini and tankini tops and regular bikini bottoms. If I'm kayaking I wear swim shorts. I really dislike swim skirts, they are awkward to swim in. I shop either on Amazon or locally, usually spend less than 30.00 for both pieces. I've never tried Athleta ones, I really like having underwire, and most of theirs don't seem to have that, and they're a little more than I spend, maybe I'll check out sales if they decent. I don't have to worry about little kids though, just trying to look decent at 51!

    I have always felt Lands end suits can trend a little momish, so I understand.
