Vapor Apparel Women’s UPF 50+ UV Sun Protection Long Sleeve Performance Slim Fit T-Shirt for Sports and Outdoor Lifestyle

The crewneck style has never been very flattering on me so I usually avoid, but as I'm getting older (55), finding a must to protect the décolletage area that's especially sensitive to sun (even though I'm religious with high SPF sunscreen). After reading reviews and looking at colors (and price), decided to try and SO glad I did! Very very happy with fit, color, etc. I normally wear a small or XS, but given reviewer recommendations I ordered both a small and medium, and the small was too binding/tight under the arms and across the chest - will return. I am 5'6" 133 lbs, bra size 32DD so a little tricky with top sizes, but the medium is perfect. Would call it 'semi-fitted'.I ordered the pearl gray and the sea grass color (in short sleeve), and happy to report the short sleeve sizing consistent with the long sleeve (you never know!). Definitely recommend.

I love this shirt. It arrived promptly. I wear a dress size 2-4 and the size small fits me well. Before I proceeded to buy more UPF shirts from them I dug into the company a bit for verification that these shirts are actually certified to be called UPF protection and when I contacted Valor Apparel they sent me a copy of the lab tests verifying UPF 50+ for their white fabric. I really appreciated that.

I work outdoors, am quite fair skinned, and have tattoos that I want to stay looking nice so I'm VERY conscious of sun protection. I don't like to be outside for even 10 minutes without some form of protection, so I have pretty high standards about what I wear for 8+ hours. After getting sick of slathering on thick sunscreen 5 times a day, I decided to look for some affordable, long sleeve UPF shirts to reduce the need. These shirts fit the bill and then some! I was pleased to see that they have research backing up their UPF claims and over time have acquired 6 of them in various colors (just ordered a 7th, actually!). I wear them 6-7 days a week with my work day including all of the most intense sun of the day, and have never once shown a hint of a burn. They are as cool as one could reasonably expect from a long sleeve shirt, and flattering to boot! As for sizing, I am 5'4", 115 lbs, and usually wear an XS in tops but sized up and got S in these. They have a nice body skimming look to them without being uncomfortably tight, which is exactly what I was looking for. My only complaint is that a few of my shirts seem to have mysteriously stained/discolored a bit. I contacted customer service about it and they were kind enough to replace the affected shirts, so I wouldn't knock a star off for it, but I will say that I noticed it happened again on the replacements. It doesn't seem like anyone else has had any issues with this though, so maybe I'm just doing something wrong?tl;dr - protective and comfortable product with a flattering fit, good customer service, and very affordable. All around win!

Fits well and well made.

We just got back from a vacation in Utah where we hiked nonstop for a week. I have never worn a long-sleeved shirt to hike in when it is warm, but this one was fantastic. Even though I packed other shirts, I kept washing this shirt in the sink, hanging it up to let it air dry, and wearing it the next day. Unfortunately, all my pictures look like I only have one outfit, so I intend to order a couple more in different colors. Much better than having to use sunscreen all day long. Since I ordered a medium (I usually order small) and it fit perfectly, you may want to consider getting a size larger.

I wore this on a bicycle ride under my jersey. It was 104 degrees. It was cool! I even tried one sleeve up to compare arms and the covered one was cooler because the radiant heat of the sun was hot! I sprinkled my sleeves with water and it was really cool for a while.I got it because my skin is starting to get age spots even with daily sunscreen so I have to cover up.I read reviews and got a large where I usually get medium. It was loose but not baggy. I would like it fairly tight to cycle in so next time I will get a medium.

I normally wear a Medium size shirt, but ordered this in a Large because reviews had said it runs slightly small. The Large fits me rather loosely and the sleeves are rather long (as others have commented upon). I simply rolled up the sleeves a bit. I am wearing this out on the tennis court, kayaking, etc. I could not wear it to swim in because it is too loose fitting. This material is very, very thin and I suppose beneficial in the heat, and it did wick away perspiration when I wore it on a very hot day playing tennis. This is not a high quality shirt and the tag fell off in the wash, so I hope I get some good wear out of it. I would normally return because I think the price was a little high, but I need the sun protection now, so I will keep it unless I find something better.

This shirt is surprisingly cool and comfortable. I wore in on a four-mile walk in ninety degree heat this afternoon, and it stayed fairly dry and reasonably cool. It's very light-weight - I could feel the breeze through the shirt - but the fabric doesn't have that thin, see-through appearance. I did have to resist the urge to pull up the sleeves at first, but after a while, I hardly noticed them. My one bit of advice is to use the sizing chart. According to it, I should have ordered a medium. I generally wear a small, and after reading a lot of reviews, I decided to go with that. It was a mistake, as the shirt is too tight through my shoulders and bust, and it pulls tight in my armpits as a result, as well. If I order another one, it will definitely be a medium or perhaps a large.

This is light weight, comfortable, easy wash and does what it says on the tin - I spent all day in the sun while gardening and I didn’t feel too hot at all...just nicely protected. I am a size 10/12 and had to buy the large (luckily previous comments had meant I went bigger than usual). Great product - already for in lots of other colours.

Soft silky material. Comes up large but loose better for hot humid conditions (size 8 not tight figure hugging..)

These tops are a saviour. I have a skin condition which means I cannot get any Sun on my arms. I wish I had known about this clothing sooner. I have now ordered one in each colour, they wash well and really protect you in the Sun.

Good quality and a good shape. great for when you don’t want to wear sunscreen.

Will wait for the hot weather

Was very good at keepin me burn free. Still too hot to wear in a traffic jam with no AC. 😓

Superpraktisch, super angenehm zu tragen, gut zu waschen, verliert nicht die Form, leicht und atmungsaktiv, schöne Farben...ABER: liebe Hersteller, was habt ihr euch dabei gedacht, ein Sonnenschutz-Shirt mit so einem weiten Ausschnitt zu designen? Gerade der Hals/Dekolletee ist doch wirklich eine ganz empfindliche Stelle! Zumal das Herrenmodell (das ich dann letztendlich gekauft habe) einen schön anliegenden Ausschnitt hat. Wie es zum Schutz ja auch Sinn macht.

Worn on a hot day and it kept me cool

Look good but not comfortable,I use in the gym,

Just what I wanted. Fits perfectly, not too tight or too baggy.

Arrived on time, fit well. Very good price for uv-factor t-shirt

Comfortable to wear.

Excellent product and does what it says. Love the colour!

Das Shirt habe ich extra ein bisschen größer bestellt. Es sitzt super und fühlt sich angenehm auf der Haut an. Die Farbe ist total schön und sieht auf gebräunter Haut echt hübsch aus.Positiv finde ich auch den kühlenden Effekt. Man kann das Shirt bei 30 Grad tragen ohne zu schwitzen.Ich würde es wieder kaufen!

Das Langarmshirt entspricht den Erwartungen. Es fühlt sich gut auf der Haut an und da ich es lieber etwas lockerer tragen möchte, habe ich es eine Nummer größer gewählt. Für den Preis eine sehr gute Qualität.
