This purchase was a very pleasant surprise. I had a purpose for buying this shirt, and it had nothing to do with making a fashion statement! ;) I am currently working and living in a very hot country that is sunny 99% of the year. And as someone who has an Irish/Northern European type of fair complexion, I was actually getting too much sun and even sun burnt on exposed skin, even when out for short periods like doing errands, sitting outside with friends at a cafe and while driving. I can get sunburns in a short period of time. This UPF 50 sun protective shirt was purchased to help protect me. We now know, and all should know that the sun not only can cause significant premature aging and wrinkles, but it can initiate cancers like melanomas. I had to have something removed about a year ago. In the past I was not careful enough, and received many serious sunburns. These type of shirts used to be called "rash guards", and were used by people spending a lot of time in or on the water - swimming, snorkeling, river rafting, kayaking, scuba diving etc. Now, these loose fitting styles can be worn like a regular t-shirt - walking around town, working out, jogging etc. To my surprise, this shirt exceeded my expectations. It seems to be well constructed, with a good feeling and sturdy material, and they got the neck right as well (I dislike when the neck opening is to large and sloppy looking). This has a more traditional cut/shape (not tapered or fitted), and feels comfortable as I am about 6'3" with a bit of a belly. I have already washed and worn this shirt. For me, this shirt can serve multiple roles - I can wear it on a day to day basis, I can wear it for for swimming in a pool or the ocean and I can wear it for hiking or touring. The shirt that I bought has long sleeves for more complete protection. I only gave it 4 stars because it is new and I cannot speak to it's durability (and I reserve 5 stars for serious and rare perfection) :) I plan on picking up a few more colors, now that I can see the quality. So, in closing, I feel comfortable in recommending this shirt. PS don't forget to use high number SPF cream on your face and neck when you use these shirts for more complete sun protection! :) Good luck.

This is a super soft/ lightweight long sleeved shirt perfect for boating on the Gulf Coast. Great price too!

I own a hooded and two long sleeves of these and plan to buy another. Super comfortable and love the sun protection. Even in hot weather (Arizona hot) these breathe incredibly well. They run a bit large though. I’m a medium all day long, but my next purchase is going to be a sized small.

Really nice lightweight and comfy

Everyday I’m at the gym with this very cool and comfortable exercise shirt
