Product Information

Out of the hundreds of items that market themselves as sun shirts, we needed to find the most promising models to move onto the testing round. REI's Expert Advice section also has great general information about what to look for in sun protection clothing. FULL COVERAGE The Ridge Merino Solstice was long enough to provide complete protection without feeling loose enough to get in the way. Ridge Merino is a small and relatively new company, but the Solstice Hoodie has made splashes in Adventure Journal. At Treeline Review, we keep our eyes out for new brands with ideas that could change the market — and merino sun shirts are one of them.

Unlike the button fasteners found on other sun shirts, the Solstice has a drawstring hood that allows exacting precision for securing the hood. The Ridge merino blend never felt itchy or hot. Instead, it felt more like cotton. Designed as a mid-layer sun shirt, the women’s and men’s Outdoor Research Astroman Sun Hoody seems out of place in a category of sun shirts dominated by against-the-skin layers. But the Astroman has become one of our favorite active layers.Manufactured in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, and Bozeman, Montana, Voormi shirts are made from a 100 g/m ultralight wool-synthetic blend that is surprisingly durable and very comfortable. It has a relaxed fit that won’t have you confusing it for a base layer and still looks good on various body shapes. While all types of skin cancer are less common in People of Color, their outcomes are dramatically worse, writes Dr. Andrew Alexis for SkinCancer.org. It is true that melanin naturally provides some level of protection. But science has notoriously left People of Color out of health studies—so there’s still a lot unknown about skin cancer in People of Color.

As with many performance fabrics, synthetics like 100 polyester and Spandex can retain odor. We constantly did the sniff test, especially after a run through the wash, to determine what shirts smelled the best. See our Best Sports Detergent guide for other ways to keep odors at bay in your technical fabrics. FIT AND LOOK When the fabric is stretched, it can widen the space between the knits and let more UV light penetrate. To reduce the chance this happens, we recommend sizing up. A sun protection shirt should not fit like a base layer. UPPER CHEST COVERAGE OR HOOD A sun shirt is designed to reduce your exposure to the sun, usually with a combination of full-coverage design and sun-protecting fabrics.Whichever line of reasoning you believe, what's most important is to choose a color sun shirt that you will actually enjoy wearing. This will increase the chance that you'll decide to wear this shirt while outdoors. Should Sun Shirts Have Hoods? The Triple Crown Button Down is filled with thoughtful features that were developed over many miles of thru-hiking and thinking that other shirts were almost perfect, but needed a few additions. In previous editions of this story, we planned to make the Capilene Cool Daily our overall winner. But before we published, Patagonia voluntarily recalled the Cool Daily Hoodie because not all batches were living up to their reported UPF 45. This year, the shirt has been re-released, but without a reported UPF rating. The previous editions were testing between 17 and 45 with an average of 34. Additionally, the shirts we tested have been tested on dozens of day hikes and overnight trips in Southern California, Colorado's high country, and eastern Oregon over many months. Our testers wore sun shirts while cycling and mountain biking in the Pacific Northwest.

The Cool Daily is also treated with a Polygiene anti-odor technology called HeiQ® Fresh Durable Odor Control, which seemed to work even after a week of continuous use. The fabric is 50% recycled, bluesign certified for environmentally-friendly dying, and sewn in a Fair Trade factory. It’s easy to forget to apply and reapply sunscreen when you’re wrapped up in the beauty of nature or the adrenaline rush of your outdoor activity. Additionally, some people don’t like the greasy feel of sunscreen. Many mainstream sunscreen brands still exclusively make products designed for lighter-skinned people that leave darker skin looking ashy. Treeline writer Felicia Hermosillo spent a summer wearing this UPF shirt on a thru-hike of the Southern Sierra High Route and while climbing all of Colorado's 14ers (14,000-foot peaks). At altitude, sun protection is essential. Because the hood is designed to fit nicely over a helmet, our tester Brandon has added the Astroman to his cool weather bicycling costume, replacing his trusty Patagonia Houdini. The Astroman is stretchier, more form-fitting, and quieter in the wind.Image of MuskOx Flannels Charleston Performance Hoodie & Therma Sport Hoodie What are thumbholes for? A sun shirt is the easiest way to protect your skin (but you should still wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen on your face — and arguably, on your hands, wrists, and even under your sun shirt, depending on how much protection you want). Thumb Holes, Thumb Holsters, or even Hobo Mitts as we’ve seen them referred to… whatever you choose to call them the question remains, are thumbholes meant for function or fashion? In addition to breaking down function vs fashion, let's dive into the below questions: Athletic shirts have thumbholes to prevent your sleeves from rolling up and bunching especially if you're wearing a baselayer. They also allow provide a bit of palm protection if you are lifting weights or constantly pushing off rough surfaces. When choosing the best athletic shirt with thumbholes make sure the fabric is breathable, dynamic, and stretchy because the thumbholes do add a bit of length to the sleeves. How to choose the best men's athletic shirts with thumbholes? We also wish this shirt had thumb loops or thumb holes to cover the top of your hands, as was offered in the still discontinued Patagonia Tropic Comfort. The two models are almost identical except for those features.
