Review: Comfortable, attractive, great shirt for cycling in sunny hot weather. - 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.
Review: High Value to Price Ratio - Nice shirt for the sun. Very light material. Perfect for wearing on a hot day and keeping your skin from burning. I will use these for golf and fishing in the midday hot southern sun. The fit is a just slightly smaller than a normal XL so you may want to order one size up. This shirt is a great bargain compared to similar high end sun protection big logo shirts at four times the price. You could pay a whole lot more and get the same or less. Bang for the buck is big if this shirt holds up over time. I am ordering a few more in different colors. The material is comfortable next to the skin so you may find yourself wearing it as a base layer. Seems to wash up nice. I have looked for a good long sleeve sun shirt for a long time and most of them are too heavy or way overpriced with obnoxious corporate logo's making you a human ad billboard. I think you will find this sun shirt to be just the right product for the hot sun. This is my first Vapor product. I have been wearing these long sleeve Vapor shirts on the golf course in the hot summer sun this past week and they keep you cool and comfortable with minimum sweat factor. The fit is great and they seem to give easily with activity. Very impressed with this product - highly recommended!

## Features

- Permanent Protection: The UPF 50+UV/Sun Protection technology blocks the sun’s rays and is built into the fabric, unlike other shirts. Our fabric is recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation* as an effective UV protectant.
- Performance Wear: Lightweight 100% Microfiber Polyester shirt with PURE-tech moisture-wicking technology, which is permanently infused with the fabric to keep you dry. The Anti-odor technology keeps you fresh and odor-free.
- Active Lifestyle: Built for athletic activities like swimming, fishing, running, hiking, playing baseball, or sitting at the beach all day. This t-shirt provides optimal protection for any outdoor activity like mowing the lawn or gardening.
- Fit Features: The set-in-shoulder construction provides a great fit and a natural, flattering shape. It is true to size in the shoulder and slimmer fitting through the body. Refer to our size chart in product images to find your best fit.
- Best Care: Hand or machine wash in cold water and hang dry. In order to maintain the quality of this shirt, fabric softener is not required and not recommended. Sun protection properties are enhanced after several washes and wear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Shirt
*by V***S on June 21, 2016*

I ordered two of these for a trip to Crazy Horse Monument, Mt. Rushmore, Grand Tetons, etc. I didn't want to have to grease up with sunscreen every day. Prior to ordering, I measure myself (primarily chest - be honest with yourself on your gut, etc.). In doing so, I ordered XL and the fit was perfect. The material may be slightly heavier than some, but I can't complain. Shirts are very comfortable, and did the job perfectly. Temps on the trip were in the mid '70s, but UV at altitudes over 7000 ft. can be very damaging. No burn at all, and the shirts stayed dry. The only negative is the stitching is coming appart at the wrist on both shirts/one arm (two different ways). One is separating a bit vertically up the sleeve; the other is around the wrist. It's may not be so much a quality issue as the way I used the shirt. At rest stops on the tour, I pushed the sleeves up my forearms to keep the wrist area dry while I washed my hands. This stretched the wrist areas significantly (I'm not Arnold Swarzenegger, but have decent sized forearms). I'm sure this stressed the stitching a good bit in those areas, so quality issue? Not sure I should really expect more but I'm marking 4-stars just because of that. I would buy these again, as they are reasonably priced, decent quality shirts that do the job.
