Disneyshopping.com- "Rashguard" swim suit for boys

[DISNEYLOVER70]

I just saw the Rashguard swim suit for boys (Buzz). It looks to me like a wet suit for divers. I was just wondering if anyone has bought these and how their kids liked them. My son is 9 and I don't know if he would wear it or not. I am thinking it would give him more protection from the sun, he is pretty pale. But it if is hot and sticky or if it is "geeky" I don't think he would wear it. I don't want to show him because I want it to be one of his surprise disney trip gifts. Anyone have any opinions on these?

Thanks.

My boys are now (almost) 15 & 11.

The 15 year old had one of those types of swimsuits when he was maybe... 7-ish. Loved it! He loved it, loved it, loved it!

When we were'nt in a pool - he'd still want to wear it. I clearly remember him wearing it to bed, many many times. He'd wear it playing around the house too - like some sort of super hero uniform. We didnt get rid of it, until an entire butt cheek would be exposed when wearing it, after a miniscule hole turned into...well, a butt cheek sized hole. He really liked it. I bet you any money if I asked him about it, he'd remember it... (man, they grow up so FAST!)

BUT - again - he was 7. I dont know if a 9 year old would think.... you know, my almost 11 year old would like it, though.

I say go for it. I saw the price. It's pretty darn good. And if he only uses it at WDW - you'd still get your money's worth.

My kids both wear them. We buy the Body Glove brand as this is considered "cool" here in Florida. My DS is almost 11 and likes wearing these shirts!
