Review on Tesla UPF 50+ Long Sleeve Rash Guard For Men, Quick Dry Swim Shirt With UV/SPF Protection, Ideal For Surfing And Swimming In Water by Brandon Peters

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cost-effective alternative to more expensive brands.

Initially, I was a little skeptical about how good a compression top I could expect for roughly $14.00. However, after using for two days as a base layer when running, I am pleasantly surprised. Overall, I see this as being better suited for temperatures in the 30s-and-up, versus the low-to-mid-20s, like the last two mornings. The fit and movement were excellent and comparable to Nike Pro-Combat and UnderArmour ColdGear. In fact, I liked it enough that I ordered a second one.I used this as a base layer for the North Face Borod 1/4-zip, the temps were 22 and 25 degrees respectively and I only felt the cold slightly, until I began running. Although this is a compression top, it is not a garment intended to be worn by itself, especially in colder temperatures. A thermally-insulated layer would be required on top of this in order to maximize the performance.If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to brand names, this would be it. While I can't speak about long-term durability, I am pleased thus far with the results.

Pros
  • Perfect!
Cons
  • The shirt may not protect against all types of sun damage
