Womens Sun Shirts UPF 50 Long Sleeve UV Protection Shirt Lightweight Quick Dry Workout Hiking Tops for Women

I love these shirts enough to buy two patterned pieces. They are very soft and thin and cool feeling so it's great for hot weather wear. The garment comes with a tag that indicate sun blocking capabilities, but I haven't tested it in intense sun to prove or disprove the claim, because I always try to stay in the shade. The shirts are loose fitting so they are airy and comfortable. I wore one in 100 degree F weather on a shopping trip and I didn't feel overheated. Today I wore it hiking in 85 F and is fine. The fabric somehow gives a cooling touch and is breathable and wicking. The sleeves are long enough and I like the fact that the "thumb loop" isn't a traditional thumb hole on the sleeve. If there's one thing I don't like that would be the side slits. Yes they are ventilating but they are cut a bit too high. If you have a long torso or wear low cut pants you may have your skin exposed a bit. If you raise your arm even without hooking the thumb loop you will definitely expose your skin on the side and maybe even your entire belly if both arms are raised. Not a big deal in hot climate but if you are in a buggy environment such as when you are hiking in the woods this may not be a good garment to keep you protected from biting insects. The garment came with loose threads and a sewn-on piece of extra fabric which are easily remedied by cutting them off. Overall these are great shirts for hot weather due to the thin and cooling fabric. I wish there are more patterns available because I would like to buy more. Read more

I love it! It’s about 1/2 as lightweight as the Columbia Omni freeze but just as silky. It will weigh like nothing in my suitcase! The neckline isn’t super tight like a crew nor is it low and open as a scoop would be. I always prefer v necks but this shape will be better for sunscreen and not constricting, which is why I want it, for fishing and beach vacations to wear when I’ve had enough sun exposure. I’m wearing a large, and it’s not hugging my back tightly so it’s true to size. I like the flattering hemline and the fact that it’s a little lower in the back but not so low that it looks ridiculous. I didn’t think I’d like the thumb elastic, but it isn’t tight at all and I like it better than my omnifreeze with the thumb holes. This is easier to wear, you don’t notice the strap. It doesn’t feel hot or heavy in the sun, but I haven’t worn it on vacation yet so I’ll update if it’s a fail. Love the color, and the price, will order more! For reference, I am 5’3” and weigh 150 lbs. Read more

I cropped the shirt with a hair tie for a more comfortable and flattering fit for my body, but the shirt itself is comfortable. It is loose fitting and light. It kept me cool in 91° heat in direct sunlight. I did not put any sunscreen on the parts of my body covered by the shirt and was not burned. Pro: the shirt stayed DRY even though I was sweating. It was shocking that even under my arms stayed dry. Con: However, the scoop neck leaves my neck a little too exposed and I did get a little red. (I’m very sensitive to sun/very fair skinned). The shirt protected me from the sun exactly as it stated. The quality held up as it washed well with my clothes and didn’t wrinkle. I feel like it was worth the money as I will only wear it for sunny Disney trips. I cannot say how worth it it will be for people who wear it more often. Read more

My New Favorite Shirt for Everything Outdoors! I've been looking for a versatile long-sleeve shirt that I can wear for everything from hiking the trails around Billings to just running errands on a sunny day, and this sun shirt is an absolute winner! I am so impressed with its comfort, performance, and, most importantly, its excellent sun protection. First, the material is fantastic. It's incredibly lightweight, soft, and breathable, which I was a bit skeptical about for a long-sleeve shirt. However, even on warmer, sunny afternoons, I stay surprisingly cool and comfortable. The fabric does a great job of wicking away sweat during more strenuous workouts or hikes, so I never feel sticky or weighed down. The fit is perfect for an active top—it's not too tight or restrictive, but it's not baggy either. It allows for a full range of motion, which is essential whether I'm casting a fishing line or just stretching after a run. Most importantly, the UV protection is legit. I've spent several long hours outside wearing this shirt and haven't gotten even a hint of a sunburn on my arms or torso. It gives me incredible peace of mind to know I'm protected from the sun's rays without having to constantly reapply greasy sunscreen. I've already washed it a few times, and it has held up beautifully, with no signs of pilling or losing its shape. For the price, the quality is outstanding. If you're looking for a comfortable, stylish, and effective way to stay protected from the sun during any outdoor activity, I can't recommend this shirt enough. It's become a staple in my wardrobe. A definite five stars! Read more
