Vapor Apparel Men's UPF 50+ UV Sun Protection Performance Long Sleeve T-Shirt

First I would say that I normally wear a medium, but I went for a small for a slightly slimer fit. I have order another three after this in different colours, and in the Tshirt style. The fabric is very soft and lightweight. It breaths well, it's zinc treated so it stays fresher longer, and not to forget protects your skin from the sun. I Really like that there 100% polyester with no elastic, like most I have come across. The problem with this is elastic is that it holds on moisture, causeing it to wick and dry slower, not something you want in a Proformance clothing. At a good price I would definitely recommend these for Hikeing, Fishing and over outdoor sport, where you plan on being active and in the sun for long periods of time.

Bought to keep off the sun when working outside in strong sun and it seems to. I am larger than I would like to be around the waist and this fits loosely. I expected it to be too tight but it is exactly right. Cool when working, lets any breeze through. Long sleeves can be used to cover the hands and long in the body so no gap when bending.

Arrived promptly and as ordered. Size guide [L] is accurate. Comfortable and easy to wear. My only issue is that the material makes it a "bit sweaty" to wear. Perhaps I will use it over a basic cotton T-shirt.

Bought for overseas fishing. Nice loose fit in xl size ( my usual). Well made and nice comfy fabric.

My husband has 3rd degree burns and has had skin grafts. This t shirt slowed him to sit outside in the shade for a little while, kept him cool and didn't irritate his skin.

Colours are as shown, M is medium, good quality - very happy.

Smooth and shiny and shows every bump and dimple!

The sun hates me. I go from white to sun stroke then sun burn. Usually I'm jumping from shade to shade then hiding completely. With the purchase of this top and a similar spec hat, I had a hitherto unprecedented 6 hours in the sun on one of the hottest days. Lightweight, wear in the sea and dries quickly. Amazing!

Ich bin 1,96 groß und trage Konfektionsgröße 62. Ich bin seit längerem auf der Suche nach einem UV Shirt fürs Fischen und zum Kajaken in der Ägäis. Die meisten Hersteller bieten nur diese engen Shirts an die nur was für Kleinwüchsige taugen. Nur über Amazon USA konnte ich solche Shirts finden, habe aber wegen der hohen Portokosten nie eins bestellt. Das Shirt passt absolut perfekt, Ärmel und auch Oberweite sind schön weit geschnitten, selbst für Kraftsportler gut geeignet. Von der Länge her passt dieses Shirt auch Menschen mit 2,05m Körpergröße. Einfach riesig!!! Dieses Shirt wird in Kolumbien hergestellt und macht wirklich einen sehr guten Eindruck. Verarbeitungs und Materialqualität einfach Top. Ich werde das Shirt demnächst nochmals auf Herz und Nieren testen und werde diese Rezension dann aktualisieren.

Comfortable and light weight

Muy comoda, suave y fresca

Dès que vous le mettez vous avez l'impression d'être à l'ombre fait très bien son travail

I prefer to use clothes instead of sunscreen when I can and on those body parts I can since clothes can’t sweat off or wear off in the middle of a ride. I had some good long-sleeve shirts from REI the last couple of years but they were hard to keep clean and were beginning to wear out. Although I would have liked to have replaced them with long-sleeve hot-weather shirts with front pockets (for use while cycling on recumbent bikes), I can’t seem to find any even from manufacturers that specialize in recumbent gear. So I decided to try these. I usually wear L or XL shirts. I bought these in L and they fit me perfectly (5’10”/200lbs). I think the XL would have been a little loose and blousey on me, the L isn’t snug it just fits right. The colors I chose are white, yellow, and orange. All three are bright and reflect enough light to be very visible and not get too hot when under direct sunlight. I like the yellow and orange more than the white which is borderline translucent. I have received several compliments on the yellow and orange shirts in the couple of weeks I’ve been using them. It’s been darn hot and humid here in NYC the last couple of weeks and these shirts have done their job: I’m not getting any UV exposure through the material, they feel nice on my skin, and the sweat is wicked away very efficiently. I wash them in cold water with other clothes using normal laundry detergent with no softeners, then 20 minutes in the dryer with the other clothes, then I pull them out of the dryer (leaving the other clothes in the dryer) and hang them to finish drying. I hope they don’t stretch out at the cuffs and neck over time, and last as long as the REI shirts did. I wish Vapor would make long pants using this material! edit: I've had my three Vapor shirts for 6 weeks now and still really like them. I've had to snip a few threads here and there but even though they look cheaply made they're holding together pretty well under almost daily use. Two issues: 1- If the slightest bit of bike schmutz makes contact with the shirt it becomes a permanent stain – nothing I've tried will get it out. 2- The shirts are a little delicate: I stumbled into a concrete wall when dismounting from my bike making contact with my shoulder and the shirt developed a (small) hole in that shoulder. I sewed it up and it's still usable but I don't think any other shirt I've ever owned would have shown damage that that insignificant incident. I'd still buy more, I do plan to buy more next year. I like the yellow and orange a lot more than the white (which as I stated above is a little translucent and also shows off the unwashable dirt more clearly). At this price I think I have to accept that they are going to last me only one or two warm seasons of near-daily use rather than three to five years as I became accustomed to with my previous long-sleeve sun-protection cycling shirts that cost 4x as much.
