Vapor Apparel Women’s UPF 50+ UV Sun Protection Long Sleeve Performance Regular Fit T-Shirt for Sports and Outdoor

Size and fit: I am 5’9”, 136 pounds. I have long arms and have a hard time finding long sleeve clothing that fits. I bought a medium. It fits well and has 20” sleeves. (I actually would prefer one more inch, but it does fit better than most sleeves for me, and I just really like long, long sleeves.) It has a pretty fitted feel to it, so I could have gone up one size to make it a little loser or to fit over another shirt better if I was going to layer it. It fits okay over a tank top though. Sun protection and features: I walk and hike a lot, so I wanted this shirt to avoid sun damage and not have to always wear sunblock. It does come with labeling that indicates the fabric is spf 50 rated. I also live in a warm area, (SoCal - desert), so I wanted it to be cool while walking on a hot day. Today was 89 and sunny while I walked two miles in this shirt. It felt hotter than wearing a tank top or short sleeves, but not terrible. I thought it would be a little lighter feel. As far as wicking sweat, it did okay. I like that it has no tags on the neck, which makes it a comfortable feel. The fabric feels soft and is not see through. I washed in cold and hung to dry. Tag says: wash separately, cold, no bleach, tumble dry, no fabric softeners. Overall, a great shirt, and I love the gray color. I will likely purchase another one in a different color.

I am allergic to the sun and I'm looking for protective clothes. I decided to give this shirt a try and I'm glad I did! It is super comfortable and fits well. I think it's a nicer shirt than it appears to be in the pictures (I thought it looked kind of plain in the amazon pics). I am a size 4-6 so I usually buy small shirts, but I listened to the reviews and ordered a medium. It fits perfectly - I am very glad I ordered a size up! Out of the box I thought it looked like it was going to be too big for me, but it fits just right. Yesterday I wore this shirt with pants and a hat (with a ton of sunscreen on my hands and face) and spent time in the sun. I had NO reaction to the sun at all! This shirt kept my sun allergy at bay! I'm so excited, I need to buy this shirt in other colors. They're out of stock in more colors but I'm hoping they will get more in stock soon so that I can buy one in every color! The only "complaint" I have about it is that I need to be careful with which bras I wear with it - every little bump and texture can be seen through the shirt, but that's not a big deal in my opinion. Oh, and this shirt is not immune to cat claws. Be careful around cats because the littlest prick of a claw makes a big snag in the shirt! I very much recommend this shirt for people like me who are allergic to the sun. It's a comfortable long sleeved shirt that really helps and it isn't hot!

This is my second Vapor shirt. My first is a few years old and still wearing it. They fit rather loosely and are quite cool in even in the sun. Would love to see some new color offerings.

Updating my earlier review below: I still absolutely love these shirts. However, I just received two new ones. One was made in Columbia (as ALL 5 of my others) and the other was made in Haiti. The Haiti one was way too big, although it said it was a Small, like all my others. Had to return it. I would like to reorder, but don’t know how to specify that I want one made in Columbia. Don’t understand why the pattern isn’t the same size no matter where it is made. “Love these sun protection long sleeve shirts. They definitely protect me from the sun. Love the raglan sleeves -when I wear it under another golf shirt the seams at the shoulders don't show, making a great look. These shirts wear really well, but the sun has a tendency to yellow the sleeves after three years in the sun. I wear them fours times a week when I golf. I just bought three more for me and my husband wears them as well to keep the skin-damaging Arizona sun off his arms. I LOVE these shirts.”

Ordered an arctic blue medium (I'm 5'5" and weigh about 132 +/= 3 pounds, lol). I debated between small and medium, and based on reviews went with medium. A good fit for me, just slightly loose, but I think the small would likely be a little tight. As is, it's not tight, and not sloppy-loose, just comfortable, and I prefer to err on side of slightly loose versus tight. The fabric is a bit heavier than I was hoping--I'm looking for an ultra lightweight long-sleeve UV shirt to run in on hot sunny days for sun protection. I'm hoping there are lighter weight shirts out there. There is a cycling jersey called soleil by terry that is super lightweight and apparently sun-protective, but at a much higher price point. At this price point, this is a reasonable shirt, overall, a flattering cut and a pretty shade of blue. I may keep, but I may return because it's not as lightweight as I was hoping for. Someone also suggested looking at saloman or under armour, maybe more of a middle price point.

I have a Vapor sun shirt that I wear all the time and wanted to get another. I ordered both the slim fit and regular to see the difference. The bottom shirt in my pic (arctic blue) is slim fit size S, the middle (sea grass) is slim fit size XS, the top (pink blossom) is regular fit size XS. The slim fit is slimmer, it comes in at the waist, it's a little longer, and has longer sleeves (my biggest annoyance with my old shirt.) The regular fit is a little wider, doesn't come in at the waist, but still comes out a little at the hips, also has shorter sleeves. I think the regular would work well for someone curvy or with hips. I would say for the slim fit, order your normal size if you want it on the tighter size or as a rashguard, and size up for a little looser fit or if you want to wear it over something else. The regular fit is a lot less form fitting and I would say it fits true to size. The neckline on both looks nice and is feminine, but I do wish it was a little higher for more protection. I'll wear my shirt for many hours on hikes without sunscreen under and never have burning. They dry very quickly and if you get sweaty the wetness is not uncomfortable, it almost feels cooling. They do tend to pick up dirt easily. It gets stuck in the fabric and it doesn't tend to wash out. These are a ridiculously great value so I'll continue to buy them. If they added longer sleeves and some thumb loops they'd be perfect.

I am delighted to have found this shirt on Amazon. I just ordered a couple of other colors (have the aqua color, just ordered white and pale pink). The price is unbeatable. I wear it as lounge wear, to take walks on a chilly day, and even to sleep in if I'm chilly. It's fairly light weight, which I like. So it's buildable. If you want a slight loose fit (still fitted, but not tight), order up a size. The sizing is consistent with the size chart on the site. It is fitted by not tight. If you want it a bit tight, order your regular size. I've had the first shirt for a while now - long enough its been through a few washes and it's held its color, shape, etc. I hang dry (not sure what the tag says to do, but give the light spandex, I don't like to put in dryer). The only minor issue I have had is some loose strings around the wrist area (hopefully not a sign of things to come). I just trimmed it and seems to be good as new. I can't speak to sun protection, but I like the concept and hope it works.

I work outdoors, am quite fair skinned, and have tattoos that I want to stay looking nice so I'm VERY conscious of sun protection. I don't like to be outside for even 10 minutes without some form of protection, so I have pretty high standards about what I wear for 8+ hours. After getting sick of slathering on thick sunscreen 5 times a day, I decided to look for some affordable, long sleeve UPF shirts to reduce the need. These shirts fit the bill and then some! I was pleased to see that they have research backing up their UPF claims and over time have acquired 6 of them in various colors (just ordered a 7th, actually!). I wear them 6-7 days a week with my work day including all of the most intense sun of the day, and have never once shown a hint of a burn. They are as cool as one could reasonably expect from a long sleeve shirt, and flattering to boot! As for sizing, I am 5'4", 115 lbs, and usually wear an XS in tops but sized up and got S in these. They have a nice body skimming look to them without being uncomfortably tight, which is exactly what I was looking for. My only complaint is that a few of my shirts seem to have mysteriously stained/discolored a bit. I contacted customer service about it and they were kind enough to replace the affected shirts, so I wouldn't knock a star off for it, but I will say that I noticed it happened again on the replacements. It doesn't seem like anyone else has had any issues with this though, so maybe I'm just doing something wrong? tl;dr - protective and comfortable product with a flattering fit, good customer service, and very affordable. All around win!

Habe zwei Shirts in M bestellt (Perlgrau und Türkis/Mint). Ich trage sonst 38/40 und bin 1.77 groß und die Shirts passen gut. Einzig die Ärmel könnten etwas länger sein, jedoch schiebt man diese ja eh meistens hoch. Ich war mir erst nicht sicher welchen Grauton ich bestellen soll, aber Perlgrau sieht super aus. Ist ein sehr heller, kalter Grauton - eine gute Alternative zu weiß, da nicht ganz so empfindlich.

Suave, finita, buena compra

It is a nice light fabric and seems to be good for sun protection without being overly hot.

La camiseta es muy agradable y cómoda

fresco, buen tacto, cubre del sol para
