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

100 stars! Amazing, practical, packable, and comfy!
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.

Nice, light weight, quick dry shirts for travel
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.

Great Adventure Travel Shirt
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.

Great shirt for sun protection
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 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.
