Baleaf UPF 50+ Crop Open Back Tank Top

I accidentally ordered too small and it still works because of the boxiness of the shape in front. The places where size impacts fit are at crossover in the back (above waist if you order on the smaller side), and armholes. Even though armholes are on the high side for a 5'6"/130lb woman wearing the XS, the top is still wearable and comfy. The material is cool to the touch and very lightweight/silky so it feels nice against skin and doesn't add any heat to the body. It's a refreshing workout top that doesn't get in your way and allows air flow in. Color is true to listing.

This review is for a fitness shirt. I am a person who is sedentary and who is currently trying to re-enter the fitness world one small step at a time. I am overweight, so having comfy clothes is hard sometimes to find, especially because of my size. I am 5'7", I weigh around 280 lbs, and the shirt size I bought is 2XL. Although my weight falls outside of the recommended range for this size, my bust measurement is within the recommended range. I think my experience would be helpful to all though regardless of where you are on the chart for a few different reasons.My initial impression of the shirt is that it seems well made. The material feels similar to a lightweight compression-style athletic shirt; it feels smooth, slick, and performance-focused rather than gentle and soft. It is not a compression shirt at all, but the material feels very similar to the way that compression shirts feel. It has a standard performance-fabric feel to it; it feels functional and breathable, but more utilitarian than premium. The care instructions for the shirt are provided on this gigantic tag on the inside of the shirt. Once you cut the tag off though, the instructions are not on the shirt anywhere else. I guess I can just keep the tag on my shelf in the laundry room if I need to remember how to care for it, but this design was not convenient for long term care of the product.So the listing made a lot of claims about this product and some of them held up, but others didn't. This shirt is kind of confusing to me. On a positive note, it fits well; it's loose, it doesn't choke my arms, and I don't feel like I'm going to rip it if I move the wrong way. The back of the shirt is split in half kind of. On the very fit model, you can see that in certain yoga poses, that this is fine, because she is not wide enough for this to open up. Someone my size though, who buys this in accordance to the size guide, should beware because on a wider frame, the back of the shirt will split open much more easily. It felt like I was wearing a short split cape or something. The airflow is nice, but it felt like the flaps were too big. This is where I cannot fully agree with one of its selling points, where it says this feature "enhances breathability without exposing too much of the waist."The other feature that is weird is that it is supposed to be a high crew neck style, so as to prevent unintended exposure during workouts. So for upright activities, this works, because the neckline is very very high. This does match the description and it does prevent exposure when bending forward in the front of the shirt. However, on my body, it sits close to my neck and feels a bit restrictive. If you're sensitive to high necklines or prefer a little more breathing room at the collar, this might feel too high.I think regardless of your size, depending on what you do, you absolutely can risk exposing too much of your waist. Like deadlifting? In the starting position, it's going to be spread apart. Downward facing dog in yoga? It's going to come down over your head, or try to. This is what I mean by how confusing this shirt is. I think the intentions are very good, but the modesty it is trying to provide is countered by the design of the back of the shirt. The high crew neckline does prevent chest exposure, but the back of the top and the overall loose fit of the shirt causes the back to open up easily during certain movements. This wouldn't be a dealbreaker for me if I am only planning to do upright cardio activities such as walking on the treadmill, but I would not feel comfortable with doing a workout in this shirt where I planned to do motions where I am bent or not upright.The last thing I want to mention is the claim that this product is not see through. My husband took one look at that shirt when I showed it to him and asked him if it was see through, and he said he wouldn't feel comfortable with me wearing this outside without a bra on. It's hard to tell inside because inside light is different from sunlight. When I put it on and look at myself in my bathroom, or even just put the material on my hand, it doesn't seem sheer. When my husband held it up against the wall a few feet away from me, without stretching it in any way, you could see straight through it. It's not like pantyhose sheer, but it is definitely not non-see through in all settings. I would caution any people who wear bras to ensure they wear one with this for sure.So at this time, I am giving this a rating of 4 stars. This product works, but with notable limitations. I would recommend this for people who are comfortable with high necklines; who plan on wearing this to do activities where they will not be bent over in a public setting or where they will be upright primarily during the activity; and for people who wear bras when they workout.

I really love the color of the light blue top, and the material is surprisingly smooth and seems high-quality for a workout tank. I was worried that the open back flap would fly open and expose everything when I leaned over during yoga or other workouts, but it stays in place. My only real issue is that I made the mistake of ordering a Large when I should have gone with a Medium, as it seems to be a bit loose. Even though it‘s roomier than I intended, it’s still comfortable enough for running or gym sessions.

I ordered this Baleaf sleeveless athletic top in an X-Small in pink for my daughter (5’1, 108 lbs., size 4). The fit is exactly what we expected, and the seller‘s size chart is accurate. It hangs nicely without clinging and looks flattering without being tight.The fabric is lightweight and drapes well from the shoulders. It feels airy and comfortable during movement, and the pink color matches the listing photos. It is a true pink, not muted or washed out.One detail I appreciated is the armhole design. They are cut wide enough to allow airflow and freedom of movement, but not so deep that a sports bra becomes visible. That’s a common issue with athletic tanks, and this one avoids it.The open back split adds flexibility and ventilation. The shirt moves easily with the body and never feels restrictive. The fabric is moisture-wicking and quick-drying, making it well suited for warm-weather workouts.The stitching and overall construction are exceptionally good. There were no flaws in the fabric, seams, or hems. It feels well-made and durable for regular use.This top works best for activities where you stay mostly upright, such as running, walking, cycling, or pickleball. For yoga, it‘s wearable, but if left untucked, poses like downward dog can cause the front to fall forward and expose the abdomen.The seller states the shirt is ’UPF 50+ PA+++‘ and ’>98% UV Protection‘. These are not contradictory statements. The UPF 50+ is the Ultraviolet Protection FACTOR which provides >98% UV PROTECTION. (PA+++ is an additional rating system commonly used in Asia to denote high UVA protection). For outdoor workouts, especially here in Florida, that level of sun protection is a meaningful advantage.Overall, this is a comfortable, well-designed athletic top that performs as advertised. It has earned a place in her workout rotation, and we would recommend it. 5 stars.

I had to return the first 3 shirts because they were too big. Now the company says they will take off $5 off each item to go towards shipping! I won’t be buying anything else from this company

This workout top is completely adorable. The material has that perfect stretch with just the right amount of weight to it’super comfortable and surprisingly high?quality. Honestly, it feels like a great dupe for some of the pricey athletic brands out there.I especially love the open?back detail. It adds a cute, breezy touch without being too revealing. The fit is true to size; I‘m a size small and it fits perfectly without feeling tight or restrictive.It’s great for workouts, but also cute enough to throw on with yoga pants for errands or a casual day out. Definitely a new favorite in my athleisure rotation.

This top is very lightweight and cool, making it ideal for exercising or wearing in hot weather. The front is not too short and offers more coverage than a typical crop top, allowing for ease of movement. I didn't notice much difference in airflow with the open-back style compared to regular crop shirts. However, I'm not sure how much exposure there is during yoga movements. Overall, this is definitely a comfortable shirt to wear with a decent but not best price.
