Hi, is the rash guard has a built in bra?

No, it's just a typical rash guard-that you would wear over your swimsuit, for surfing or other water sports.

No, it does not...nipples stick right out! It was designed to be light and easy to wash during travel/hiking/backpacking, but it just isn't enough coverage or support.

It's not padded, but the fabric is very thick and it's lined. It offers a degree of compression--at least I feel that it sort of "squeezes" my chest, but it's a mild compression. I've never used compression bras or tops so I don't know how it would compare to something intentionally designed to compress. For me, it provides support without hurting.

Not built in, but I still love this case because it's an awesome protector for the price it is. I get compliments on it constantly, and my phone has clear coat protectant applied, so this case more than does the job. I highly recommend!!!!

yes it does. it is an adjustable strap that stays in place, at least under a sports bra.

My grandson wears a regular t-shirt style bras guard shirt under this vest and has no problem with the shirt riding. It does not chafe him or irritate him at all. He loves to wear it and enjoys swimming with it. I hope this helps.

No, the one that I bought for $40 just has some padding. Works like a charm.

It is just a tank top. It works very well with the under armour sports bra.

No, Tara I don't believe it is. I know that my grandson who is 6 wears this and did very well with it as it is not tight around the armpits and doesn't rub him either. He would wear it with no arguing at all. I had looked at some that were coast guard approved, but when I looked at them I knew he wouldn't wear it because he did have one similar and it rubbed him under his armpits and had a rash from it. So I did go with this one and it worked fine. However, we never went out boating , only used it in an underground pool at home and at swim lessons. Jumped off the diving board etc with it and was fine. I jope this helps. No, Tara I don't believe it is.

No, there is only a too-thick padded strap for the back, which I found uncomfortable. I returned the bands largely for that reason, and ordered the Bracoo bands, which cost a fraction of the nike and support patella just as well.

No. This one is soft and tight. if you do not wear a sports bra under then it feels not very comfortable and can be noticed by people.

This does not fit like a tight rashguard used for scuba diving. It is more like a fitted t-shirt that you might you might see in the swimsuit section. It is fitted enough that it doesn't swell with water and float up. I ordered the standard size I would wear in a fitted t-shirt and it fit perfectly.

The material is thin, so just a rash guard. It does keep your core warm if you wear a layer over it. I used it during a Tough Mudder in Seattle and it actually kept me "warm".

That was a good question which honestly I couldn't answer. So I went and put my sons on. If your chesty it's not anymore uncomfortable then a sports bra. Other than that it just feels like a Lycra fitted shirt.

Yes! But you can use it without a bra too. This can still works if you wear something like a tank top or something little tight, the idea is you need something to hold it against your breast.

Yes, it included chest strap, BUT... the strap is rather narrow compared to others I have had and the material seems flimsy. (See my prior full review.)

I use the rash guard to keep warm while doing aqua arobics. The water is supposed to be warm, but it is usually cold. Once out of the water I take it off because it does get cold then.
