Outdoor Adventure Essential.
Flattering Cool Functional ComfortableWell made quality heat gear tops.I’m 5’4” 160lbs, 38 DDD.I’ve bought two XL’s definitely buying more.Both were the exact same fit.One was a collared and one was a non-collared.The collared style.They left a lot of room around the neck chest armpits upper arms length of the arms for the thumb holes. As well as plenty of length for using it as a cover-up at the beach pool while kayaking.I do all the above and these shirts are a necessity for my outdoor activities.The non-collared.I bought the Light gray and it’s a nice light gray.Same comfort fit, made exactly the same as the collared style and fits exactly the same. I’m very happy with it as well and I like having options for outdoor wear. But after wearing the collared style, I prefer it.Both styles are very comfortable.Wearing my swimsuit top, I hiked in the collard long sleeve light green version. Granted I doused myself with water at the car before I did a 5 mile hike in 80° temps. With that said, It protected me from sunburn and I was very comfortable. The top stuck to me a little bit while I was wet and hiking but it didn’t bother me. It felt like it built in AC! Nice and cool. And when I say a little bit that is because it dried pretty quickly so that’s another plus. Im so very happy with the option of having a collar I usually have to cut the neck on the collar because I have really broad shoulders so not having to do that and still looking neat was nice.This brand of heat gear tops are very affordableand every bit as good as the name brands.Thats my outdoor adventure opinion!Hope this review helps!

Good protection in sun
Summertime is pool time, gardening, mowing the lawn and sunblock. I used the spray sunblock on my back but it was hit & miss and decided there had to be a better way to protect skin while outside. I knew I wanted one that zipped up and protested the back of my neck. I searched online and found this one. Based on the chart I am a large but I do not like anything tight, so I ordered XXL. I planned to use this over my bathing suit top and did not want any difficulty removing after a day in the water. The top is roomy but easy to remove when wet. Now the question was, would it provide protection from the sun and the answer is yes. The first time I used this top I did not apply sunblock to any area this top covered and no sunburn. I have 2 other tops like this one on different colors and used them extensively this summer and am happy to say no sunburns. Now the only place I use sunblock on is my face & legs.

Fits well!
This is the third color of this top I have purchased. Interestingly, the different colors fit differently, and seem to have different thicknesses. Will share more about that below.Overall cut is flattering in that it does come in a bit at the waist and I appreciate the illusion of a bit of a shape despite some belly. I am 5'3 180 lb, and working on a dessert habit. Bought XL.The edgy modern neck style is nice and the zipper edge does not cut your skin or chin. I'm kinda short and stocky, there's not a ton of space between things lol!Has thumb holes which I appreciate, and actually are pretty nice when layering in the winter time and you are pulling on a jacket over it, or covering your hands if you just want to protect your hands from direct sunlight in whatever season. The sleeves don't seem to slide up on their own sit them holes are not critical, but I have come to like them.Who really knows on the level of SPF that is being blocked with best intentions, but the top is lightweight enough for summer and works as a physical barrier.Purchased white so I could be super visible and cool (body temperature) during a summer bike fundraiser event, part of which would transition into the night. It also matches my bike helmet :)Why the 4 stars instead of 5? I purchased the same size in all the tops. The white feels thinner, tighter, came wrinkled and remains wrinkled despite all efforts. I have experience with these tops not just in this brand, so I know I'm washing it properly and the other two in this brand behave when washed. You can't put softener or products on these tops or you can mess up whatever level of SPF in or on the material. So I just make my peace with being a bit disheveled when I wear this one.As well, it is a hair see-through. I tend to wear moisture wicking camis underneath as I am just a layering kind of person, but you can 100% see what I'm wearing beneath, not just as a white top you can see through, but the detailed contours. Whereas this is not the case in the other colors of the same size. Perhaps it was missized?Also have a light blue, probably not the official color name, which feels a little thicker and the wrinkles fall out with body heat. And a darker aqua which feels thicker yet, holds its shape and structure from top to bottom including around the collar and washes up well.Perhaps just avoid the white if wrinkles bug you, but these tops work so well for general purpose indoor/outdoor activities, to wear alone or layer.Hope this helps!
