Women'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.

Shirts with buttons are really not my thing but after trying several long sleeved shirts without I decided to give this style a go. My husband says it really suits me, so much so that I'm about to order a second in a brighter color for when we go on vacation with friends. I got the dark green this time because I want it for gardening and dog walking and it's actually a nice color. The shirt is comfortable and very light weight, though I am still hot in it because I live in Houston Texas and anything is hot when it's 90 +. Most importantly it covers all of my arms and neck which as I've got older get horribly red and itchy in the sun, even with sunscreen. The only thing I don't like is that the arms seem big, but I need the large for my body. I wear size 8 in jeans and generally do wear large in most shirts, other than some square-style t-shirts where I can get away with medium.

I purchased this shirt mainly for yard work.The fabric is a very lightweight somewhat billowy polyester. I think because it is made of polyester that they make the claim of UV protection and not because of some coating or process to the fabric. It does protect my arms and neck from the sun although I stay out for only a couple of hours at a time and try to avoid the hottest times of the day.The cut is ample so if using for yard work or outdoor activities then this is a big plus. I sometimes find that shirts pull around my midsection but this was loose and I could move freely. The sleeve length seemed a bit short which luckily worked out perfectly for me. I usually have to roll the cuffs of long sleeve blouses but not on this one. Again, for outdoor activities that is a plus. The cuff is loose and easy to slip the shirt on and off.I live in a hot climate area and found this shirt, even with the venting, to be hot. I suppose if there is a breeze or the temperatures are not in the high 80s then it would be more comfortable. If I'm working in the full sun, I get hot. If it is overcast or in the shade then shirt is more comfortable. Being polyester, the weave is tight so there is some protection from small twigs and leaves if you need to reach in or lean over bushes or hedges.The color is not a vibrant as what you see online. It more of a lighter green with grayish tones. I do like it though. The shirt, because made of that lightweight polyester, sits well on the body and I find it flattering with no clinging. I could see runs to the store in this blouse.

Brought this for an upcoming African safari. I did a test run on it yesterday when the temp in NJ hit 96 degrees. I was amazed at how comfortable and cool this shirt was in all that heat and humidity! I cx-tie it to give it a fashion twist because I got the medium and it's a bit long on me. I am a 38DD chest and the site recommended X- large but I thought that would be like wearing a sheet so I got the medium and it fits well; lots of room in the shoulders but there is the slightest little opening at the 4th button down if I lean back without gathering the front of the shirt. I might try the large on my next order although that might swamp me everywhere else since I'm only 5 feet tall. Will have to wash in (cold water only) so I can see how fast it drys. I would have preferred the sleeves to be held at 3/4 position by regular loops instead of the little stripped elastic holders but that is not a deal breaker. I will be ordering these again.

I bought this shirt for a trip to the Galapagos Islands where the sun is intense and, despite the heat, it is recommended that you wear long sleeves. I am usually a M or L in tops and ordered a M in this based on reviews. For reference, I am 5'9" and 160 lbs. It is roomy and fits more like a large. It is more than long enough thru the torso and the sleeves. It is light weight and has numerous pockets that come in handy for travel or hiking or other outdoor activities. It dries quickly and I even washed it in the sink with some shampoo, rolled it in a towel to squeeze out excess water, shook it out and hung it to dry. It came out looking great and ready to wear the next day. The light blue was not see thru and the color is as shown in the pictures. I ordered the pink as well in a size L for comparison. I loved the color but it was too large and was strangely soaking wet when it arrived despite the exterior packaging being completely dry. I immediately returned it but would have re-ordered if I could have used a second color.
