  • Quick-dry fabric is comfortable straight out of lake water or saltwater
  • Flatlock seams prevent chafing under a backpack strap or PFD

Cons

  • Sizing runs a touch slim; size up if you are between sizes or want a relaxed lake-day fit

Frequently asked questions

Does it actually protect skin underneath?

Yes, UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks about 98% of UVA and UVB rays at the covered area, equivalent to a sunscreen reapplied perfectly every two hours. You still need sunscreen on uncovered skin.

Can I wear it swimming or just on land?

It is fine for fresh and salt water and dries quickly after a swim. Rinse it after pool use to prevent chlorine fade.

Does it get hot in direct sun like a regular long sleeve?

Counter-intuitive but no. Light colors reflect heat and the fabric wicks sweat, so most reviewers say it is cooler in full sun than a bare arm.

Is the fit slim or relaxed?

Slim athletic fit through the chest and torso. If you prefer a roomier lake-day cut, order one size up.
