Performance Long Sleeve UV Shirt for Fishing, Running, and Hiking - Men's UPF 50+ Sun Protection Lightweight Hoodie Review

Quality seems ok but thin, buy 2 sizes bigger if you don't want spandex to fit. The product appears to be of decent quality. It's very light and looks transparent so I'm wondering how much it protects from the sun/UV rays. The biggest issue is that I bought the large when I usually wear the medium and it was tight like a spandex top. I ended up gifting it to my son who wears a small and it was a bit big for him. If this goes on for a few months I'll probably increase the stars to 4.

I've worn several of these shirts all summer to work in the garden and on the go and managed to avoid sunburn without sunscreen the whole time. I have very light skin and in the past I could sunbathe in a hoodie for 30 minutes on a cloudy day, but they were able to protect my back from the sun for hours at peak sun exposure. I was very skeptical at first, but they really work. The only complaints I have is that the hood could be a bit longer to cover more of the face and the thumb holes in the…

Bought for a midsummer motorcycle ride. As a redhead, I burn fast and bad, blisters and pain didn't bother me the whole trip. I was very excited about the holes in the sleeves that all chicks in sweatshirts have, hoping this will keep the sleeves from blowing out. I threw up my arms at freeway speed, causing burns to my wrists and forearms. I have to agree with the other reviews, starting with the sleeves being an inch or two longer. Very tight around the shoulders and back when you put your…

2 for the offer is great for this shirt. It's really small/short for arm's length. My arm span is 6ft straight to my fingertips and the oversized sleeve extends to my wrist for a snug fit when I use the thumbholes to protect my hands...but I didn't feel uncomfortable fishing all day. But next time I'll go for the XL... and you never know how stable the production of cheap stuff is, so... you can make mistakes when fitting. Fished in 90F sun for 6 hours and not burned out so SPF protection is…

Another solid buy at a great price. I bought this shirt for sun protection and some warmth when hiking or other outdoor activities. I'm 5'8, 165 pounds and of an athletic build. The shirt has a sporty fit without being too tight. My arm length suited me - I have a "monkey index" plus 0 (this is a mountaineering term meaning my wingspan is equal to my height). The hood is a bit big (I have a small head) but works great and will keep you a little warm on a cold morning or evening in a tent. Mind…
