I have Solar Urticaria, I'm allergic to UVA and UVB. I put this shirt (XL Orange) on yesterday and could only stand in the sunlight coming through a window (so only UVA) for 45 seconds before I started getting that acid burning my skin feeling as the hives appeared and my throat started to swell closed... Without a shirt, in direct sunlight, it also takes 45 seconds for this to happen. This shirt provides little-to-no protection against UVA, which comes through glass, ages your skin, and gives you cancer. While it MAY delay sunburn (UVB) for YOU, it is just as good as wearing nothing for UVA.Other commenters (shills) mentioned that UPF 50 shirts should allow light through, that holding a UPF 50 cloth up to your eye could still allow you to see around you, and that UPF 50 cloth is the same as SPF 50 sunscreen. They are incorrect on all points.UPF 50 should block OVER 98 of all UVA and UVB light. You shouldn't really be able to tell you're looking directly at the sun through a single layer of real unstretched UPF 50 cloth but I could see your face through this shirt in normal room lighting... UPF is rated against UVA and UVB while SPF is just for UVB (even most broad spectrum sunscreens' ratings are just for UVB, they still let a ton of UVA light through).It seems like a decent regular shirt for the price but don't think you're protecting anyone, like you kids, spouse, or self, with it. The actual Hanes packaging doesn't say anything about UPF, it seems like the seller is just lying for sales.

The medium fit is good. The sleeves are a little shorter than what I am used to, but nothing too much. I would purchase it again.

Good all around

Great shirt for blocking sun while working in the yard. My husband says it fits great, not too tight or too loose. Nice and lightweight fit.

it keeps you cool and protects very well from the sun. I use it for fishing days even mowing the lawn. I loved!

I like everything about them. From the fit to the comfort. Are used down to work out in.

Perfect fit

Loose fit. Light weight and cost effective. Just what you need for hot summer days when you need UV protection.

Work

Shirt used for sun screen. Slightly loose fit for hot summer days.

Fits perfectly. I ordered 2XL as well but didn't even open them. XL is perfect for me. 6'2鈥? 213 lbs. Wore to pool to see how it felt: great. Buy with confidence. Sunscreen aspect will be determined but Haynes is usually a good brand from past experience.

Feels good

The shirt very lite in weight. I bought normal size for myself and it fit the way I wanted it to. I like my shirt to fit just a little loose. P

Cool and protection from sun. As stated sleeves are to long.

As expected for medium size. True to size.

I bought these for my Son as he now has a job that keeps him outside all day. He loves them. He says its like being in the shade all day. I will be purchasing more for him. Just a size bigger than the first time as he says they are a bit snug.

Functions just like a t-shirt should.

This was a gift for my brother and he absolutely thou these shirts were great.

Am out in the sun alot.. use to help keep sun away... does feel cool or from getting burned. Also loose fit,fabric soft,not clinging!!

I work alot outside at sites that require longsleeve shirts as a PPE requirement. This shirt is incredibly lightweight, breathable, and stain resistant which makes it perfect for anyone who needs to work outside in the summer. Highly recommend, I would probably buy it again
