Jessie KiddenWomen's UPF 50+ UV Sun Protection Safari Shirt, Long Sleeve Outdoor Cool Quick Dry Fishing Hiking Gardening Shirts

I’m in love!! Highly recommend! 100 stars! I have 3 colors of this in two sizes. They are great in hot humid weather outdoors or in any weather out during high UV times (9 am - 4 pm in many areas of the planet). Fits true to size, so if you want to wear it over another full shirt, size up. Super-high quality. I don’t tan; I burn instantly and get overheated in minutes. But, I wore these in S. Florida over a bikini or other super-light top outside daily for a week. I only needed heavy zinc sunscreen on skin not covered by this shirt or other high SPF clothes. Zero tan, burn, overheating, or heat rash! MUCH cooler than bare skin in direct sun! Saved a bundle on icky heavy sunscreens that block the body’s natural cooling process, and saved me from dangerous UV and overheating. I paired them with a big hat, knee-length or longer loose skirts/coverups, sought shade, kept hydrated, and wore a cooling neck scarf. BEST: in 90% humidity, I hand washed them nightly in the hotel sink with dish soap, squeezed out the water, and they were dry by morning when hung by a fan. I almost forgot: lots of great, practical-sized, secure pockets. 100 stars for washability, value for the price, and pack-ability. At home in 40% humidity, I machine-wash them with my lights in warm water, standard detergent, in lingerie bags, then hang to dry: every last bit of dirt and heavy zinc sunscreen gone and totally dry in under two hours.Manufacturer: MORE MORE MORE!! More light colors and classier (less “big game hunter”) styles of these, please! And, long flowy skirts, beach coverups, wide-leg pants, and light packable but classy wide-brimmed hats.

Fits well, color is true khaki and it is breathable and comfortable as well as able to be worn as a regular shirt, ie doesn't look like sun protection. I'll be buying more colors.

I bought these shirts to increase my wardrobe of quick-dry shirts for a trip to a tropical country. I had to iron them when I took them out of the package. Washing wasn't enough to get the wrinkles out. But once ironed, they stayed reasonably unwrinkled for my trip, and they remain so after another wash and hang-dry. I have more expensive brand shirts of this type that wrinkle slightly less, but these are ok. My other shirts use snap closure instead of buttons. Snaps are easier to manage when you roll the sleeves up and use the tab to keep them in place. But the buttons worked well enough and the price was great! The fabric was comfortable and not see-through. And I'm a bit big-busted: the cut was generous enough to avoid gapping at the button front. I like these shirts a lot, and they have worn well through a 95-degree trip.

I brought this shirt with me on a trip to the hot jungle, and it worked really well! It was comfortable, my sweat dried quickly, and a flattering fit.

I bought this shirt for trip to Ecuador. Will be great for the Amazon! Just got it...so light and cool to skin...I plan on buying more! I wear XS, 5-5, 113lbs...and it has plenty of room for shirt underneath. Sizing chart is accurate. Will update after trip.

UPF ?:I had a minor surgery on my arm and the dermatologist said the #1 most important thing I can do is keep the scar protected from the sun for at least a year. So here I am, preparing to spend the spring and summer in UPF long sleeves, yay! This shirt is thinner than I expected, to the point that I can't trust that it's actually UPF 50+, not to mention the tag on the shirt says UPF 40+ (see second photo). The fabric is translucent and you can clearly see your hand through the shirt if you hold it up to the light (I tried to take a photo one-handed. It's not the best picture, but you can see my fingers through the fabric.) I have since looked at some other UPF 50+ clothing in stores to compare, including a very similar Columbia shirt. Though the material on name brand UPF 50+ clothing was also thinner than I would expect (which was slightly reassuring about this shirt), it was not quite as translucent.Overall Look and Feel:I'm not sure how to think of this top. It is definitely lightweight. The material is what I would call flowy. It seems like it would be great to wear hiking, it's so lightweight you would barely know you're wearing it. But because the material is so thin, it makes the shirt look pretty formless, and it just sort of drapes over your body instead of looking like a traditional Safari shirt or button up.Sizing:I'm 5'5" 150 lbs, usually in between small and medium. I ordered a size medium because I wanted to make sure I could button the shirt... It's HUGE. I put it on and actually laughed. It felt like I was wearing a parachute over my body.I'm debating ordering a size small in this shirt, to see if I could make it work. I'm thinking of also buying a Columbia to compare the two. But in the back of my mind I can't help but wonder about how much UV protection this shirt would actually give me, and that's all I'm really after.

UPDATE: I’ve now had a chance to field test this shirt and it is fantastic. Cool, quick to dry, blocks the heat and the sun. I’m sure I’ll wear them out over the summer, but I’m so happy with them!!I bought several of these because I spend a lot of time outside and like to cover up rather than put on sunscreen, so I was hopeful these would be cool in the blazing sun. I’m not disappointed at all! They’re very comfortable in any environment, really well constructed and designed, with a flattering fit and cute details. Highly recommend!

This women's blouse gets the job done as it actually keeps me cool and shields protection from UV sun. It is very light weight material and pink is my favorite color. It is wrinkle-free as described. I do appreciate the pockets. I wish the pockets' placement were lower on the blouse - near the stomach area rather than bust level.

Returned is really too big

I purchased this shirt for a trip to North Africa, so was disappointed to find that it only offers 40+ UV protection, not the 50+ indicated. I also wanted the 'interior locker loop' mentioned in the description for easy hanging for drying, but it is missing.Overall, however, I prefer the fabric of this item over the Columbia shirt of the same style. Others mentioned how thin the fabric is, but to me that is an asset. It feels more breathable, especially if your skin detests man-made fabrics as much as mine does.The size runs large. I am 168cm and 55kg (slightly built). The XS is plenty big enough.I don't know if this shirt will ultimately be suitable for its intended use, but I guess it will be handy for gardening in the Australian sun.

Just what I needed for when I walk and it’s sunny. It’s also lightweight and stylish.
