Jessie KiddenWomen'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.

I had purchased this shirt in white and fell in love with the material, style and cut, so much so that I wanted the identical shirt in teal.Upon receiving the teal shirt I was exceptionally disappointed to see that it was not the same light weight material as the original purchase in white. But decided not to be to concerned as I still like the "Columbia Type" style and decided to keep it and did not bother to try it on right then as I incorrectly presumed it to be the same cut. It wasn't till a week or so later that I had an opportunity to wear it and was further disappointed to discover the cut was very baggy. I knew the material was not the same but with in minutes I was taking the shirt off as the material was too rough and scratchy to be worn directly against the skin. It felt like I was wearing a canvas tent. I did not return it as It will make suitable over shirt in the winter, however this was not its intended use. This was a disappointing purchase as the first shirt in white was perfect.

Fits well, color is true khaki and it is breathable and comfortable as well as able to be worn as a regular shirt, ie doesn't look like sun protection. I'll be buying more colors.

I just got this shirt and tried it for fit. I'm 5'4", and around 104 pounds, so thin and usually wear a small. Shirt is lightweight and fabric soft. Sewing was acceptable. These camp/fishing style shirts can run large, but the one I received fit me well. I was surprised because I'm thin but my shoulders are wide so often shirts don't fit well in the shoulders. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because I thought the fabric was a bit wrinkly and the collar doesn't stand as much as I would like it to. I also have a feeling fabric may tend to pill or snag. But overall it's an ok substitute for my favorite Columbia shirt and as I got it on sale I'm happy with purchase.

UPDATE: I’ve now had a chance to field test this shirt and it is fantastic. Cool, quick to dry, blocks the heat and the sun. I’m sure I’ll wear them out over the summer, but I’m so happy with them!!I bought several of these because I spend a lot of time outside and like to cover up rather than put on sunscreen, so I was hopeful these would be cool in the blazing sun. I’m not disappointed at all! They’re very comfortable in any environment, really well constructed and designed, with a flattering fit and cute details. Highly recommend!

Recieved this order today. I have laundered it and the wrinkles came right out. It is 100% polyester so it won't be shrinking with additional washes. I ordered a medium in the 5055 Pink. It is what I call a blush pink. Beautiful summer pink. It is lightweight and will be a wonderful addition to my summer hiking or Teams call wardrobe. If you are on the fence about ordering it, you won't be disappointed. I love how you can roll up the sleeves and they stay up with the fasteners. Cute detail there as well with a little black and white striped catch. Adorable!

Returned is really too big

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.

Just what I needed for when I walk and it’s sunny. It’s also lightweight and stylish.
