Collar ring

Nice shirt. However, if you apply sunscreen around your neck like I did, the neck of your shirt will discolor and you end up with a white shirt and a shirt with an off-white/yellowish collar after just one application. Even after washing, the stain hasn't gone away.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Not fashionable

Durable Items - Diving and Snorkeling

Comfortable loose fit that is good when dry. I'll be using this more in a kayak, not so much on a SUP when I'm having more fun swimming. The dense fabric is warm, on very hot days it needs to be moistened. I'm 5ft 9in / 160lbs tall so a medium size would work best. The sleeves are short, but that's ok.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Expensive

You MUST hand wash this item.

Just note that this item is NOT machine washable. After washing it in the machine with cold water and a gentle cycle, the neck of the fabric has severely lost its shape. I have contacted the seller. They said there was no need to wash in the washing machine. I can not help myself.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Basically OK, but...

Suitable as a sun shirt for activities other than swimming

I'm a classic medium size (160 pounds, 5ft 9in) and this shirt is a bit big, long and loose. I was hoping to find something to swim in with a more comfortable fit. I think I'll use this for a sun shirt for rowing or for outdoor work.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Excellent fit and construction

Great product. I'm short, athletic, and fit in the midsection, which is how I'd like it to be, so a little fitted but no makeup. He had great flexibility. They usually struggle with sleeves or hems that are too long, but this one fits just right. Very comfortable and the UPF protection seemed to work as intended. Worked very well in the bay on a kayak.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I will add later

Comfortable fit, does not fade in the sun, dries quickly. No complaints!

I wore this shirt for a week in the Sierras when it was over 90 degrees. Fishing, swimming and hiking every day. It was comfortable and easy to move around in. I bathed every day and the shirt dries very quickly in the sun. No sign of sunburn even when wet. I'm 5ft 10", 165lbs and the medium size fits perfectly (skin tight). The shirt still looks brand new after a week of daily use. Machine washed/dried, hasn't fallen apart. I really hope it lasts at least a few seasons.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Expensive
