Reviews
Florida sun no problem with this crew
"Great shirt for summer protection! Fabric is very breathable and cool and does not get odorous like many sunshirts do. Great for travel as well - can sink wash and it dries quickly. Prefer this mens fabric to the womens version which felt thicker."
— cynthia m. (5/5)
Fits great

The Best in the Biz
"Mostly just disappointed that I ever bought a different version of this item. Even compared to the Alpenglow Pro this is an outstanding garment."
— Elijah B. (5/5)
Amazing
"Comfy, Fitting and good in any season"
— Chris S. (5/5)
Best sun shirt
"Of all the brands we looked at, alpenglow has the most durable weave, and it still dries fast and ventilates well. Love the burnt sienna color, but we returned the creek (too teal). Would actually have preferred the hoodie or pro but burnt sienna only available with this shirt."
— Kira L. (5/5)
BEst SPF shirt on the market
"I ended up getting 1 at first, then shortly ordering the other ones. Size fits great."
— Edouard R. (5/5)
Great Fit
"I am always between sizes. . . medium is too tight around my chest and shoulders, large is too big around my midsection but a Large takes care of this. I am 6'2", 175lbs and will definitely be buying more of these"
— Andrew W. (5/5)
Very disappointed
"Severely disappointed in the quality of black diamond and their clothing. $100 for a technical sun shirt I expect more durability. I've worn this shirt less than 8 hours and already have 2 snags, at this rate I expecte the shirt to last a couple months before it's falling apart"
— Travis (2/5)
Comfortable and well fitting
"Cool enough for hot sunny days and warm enough for evening."
— Chris P. (5/5)
Nice piece
"Really like this. Has a little structure to it. Not too stretchy, but comfortable. Great as a long sleeve for cool weather fitness, or as a base layer."
— George M. (5/5)
