Terrible fit

By Laura in Texas from Corpus Christi, TX on 08/14/2009

Pros:
Breathable, Lightweight
Cons:
Poor Fit, Uncomfortable
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Exerciser
Sizing:
Feels full size too big
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I wish I had believed some of the comments about the strange fit of this shirt. I wear a size 4 and do not have broad shoulders, but the size small has incredibly narrow shoulder seems. I could have lived with that; however, the arm pits were several inches too low, and the width of the chest was at least one size too large. I was disappointed because I loved the color and the fabric, but the fit of this shirt is absolutely terrible. I sent it back!

Very comfortable in humid, hot weather

By Practical Mom from Honolulu, HI on 08/07/2009

Pros:
Breathable, Collar up to neckline, Comfortable, Lightweight, Sun protective
Cons:
Sleeves long for petites
Best Uses:
Tennis in summer heat
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Exerciser
Sizing:
Feels half size too big
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I've worn this shirt to late afternoon outdoor concerts in a garden setting when concerned about sun exposure and mosquitoes. I've also worn it to play tennis in very hot & humid weather and didn't feel clothing stick to me. The sleeves are several inches too long for a short person but I just fold them up and it doesn't bother.

Fit is weird...

By ktennis from honolulu, HI on 08/06/2009

Pros:
Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight
Cons:
Poor Fit
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Exerciser
Sizing:
Feels half size too big
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not bad for the price, but the other reviewers are right about the fit in the shoulders. The seams at the shoulders are about two-three inches off! Almost looks like a raglan sleeve. However, because it's an exercise garment, the comfort is most important - and it feels great...very roomy (except the shoulders). For the price...I'll keep. Use for tennis - to protect against the sun.

I used this shirt on a 3,000 mile motorcycle trip to Montana. It really worked well across the Nevada desert in 110 degree heat. I hand washed it and it dried to wear it the next day. Wish I had bought 2 of them.

All SPF clothing is warm when exercising but at least this is not too tight and stylish. Great fit and great colors. Would order more if there were more colors.

Very happy with this shirt... I use it for running outdoors in cooler weather... the fabric is very breathable and lightweight, but the long sleeves just give that added protection from the elements.

I bought this shirt for the UPF and casual look. I had skin cancer so I am looking for UPF rated clothing that isn't expensive. Great shirt, stylish, and wicks away any moisture on your skin. The fabric is not heavy and allows free movement.
