We lived in Texas and needed serious UPF protection for our daily activities. I personally hate sunscreen. It stinks, it usually feels awful, it doesn't spread evenly, it gets in your eyes and mouth, the list goes on. Also, my kids don't like using it. I find it much easier to convince them to wear a UPF shirt than to stand still for sun protection. The bonnets go much further to cover the neck, ears and hair. I still put sunscreen on their faces and sometimes on their necks if they don't want to wear a hood, but I find it a lot easier and boys like it better too. My youngest started asking for hoodies every day so we have several. He likes that they have thumb holes. I will say the size is a little different from the others we have. Especially if you use thumb holes. My youngest in stuff like this is usually XS. He can get away with the letter S, but he usually swims in it. This XS is a bit shorter again, especially when he's poking his thumbs in holes and basically moving his arms at all. Although he's taller for his age. All of this to say that we love these shirts, but you may need to check sizing to see what works best for you and your purposes.
