Bikinis, one-pieces, tankinis, swim skirts, trunks and cover-ups, read for coverage, lining, chlorine and salt, and what holds up through a season.
8.1score
A 9-inch mesh-lined trunk with 3,321 ratings, a zipper-pocket version, a 5.5-inch trunk with a compression liner and a UPF 50+ rash guard, all cheap.
8.1score
A ruffled high-waisted swim skirt with shorts and a pocket, against a long zip hoodie labelled UPF 50+; one has a clearer fit story than the other.
8.0score
A color-block high-waisted bikini, a crochet cover-up, a racerback tennis dress and V-waist swim shorts: three easy picks and one dress with a seam problem.
7.9score
Two three-piece bikini sets, two swim skirts, a mesh cover-up skirt and a rash guard: the coverage pieces are useful, but dye, stretch and sizing complaints follow several of them.
7.8score
Two Saodimallsu beach pieces with 2,289 ratings between them: an open-knit viscose top that most buyers size down in, and a retro bikini with a fragile back clasp.
7.6score
A loose, short-sleeve polyester cover-up that buyers wear to lunch as often as to the pool; the catch is a sizing split and fabric some find too warm.
7.0score
A padded halter bikini with metal rings at the bust and hips, 82% polyester and 18% spandex, and a size chart the brand itself tells you to size up from.
