baleaf Women’s UPF 50+ Sun Shirt with Hoodie SPF Long Sleeve UV Protection Clothing Hiking Fishing Outdoor Lightweight

Pretty, flattering
First, I love the colors of this shirt. I say colors because first I got one in the teal green, my favorite color. I liked the shirt so much I got a second one in the blue. Both colors are beautiful.The colors are flattering, the fit is flattering, the fact that it doesn’t cling to the body, but skims the body is flattering. It is just plain flattering.I am five feet, two inches, 128 pounds, “well endowed” with broad shoulders from swimming. I bought the medium and it is a perfect fit. The bottom of the shirt comes to the top of my thighs. The fabric is silky, light weight, wrinkle free and a dream to wash. For travel, it dries very quickly. And it is perfect for travel not only because of its light weight, wrinkle free fabric, but the fact that it folds down to take up almost no room in your suitcase.Because the fabric is silky, it can be used for casual occasions and more dressy occasions.I like the thumb elastic thingies. When I am outside in the summer I like to protect myself from sunburn. I haven’t been burned while wearing this shirt, but I am unsure of this protective factor. I can just say I haven’t been burned.For me it is pretty warm. It is suitable for most temperatures, but I don’t wear it when the temperature is in the 80’s and above.I tend to wear both shirts, the teal and the blue often because it is so flattering and I feel pretty in either one.

Lightweight and flattering
The cut is very cute and flowy. Haven’t had any issue with burning while wearing it. The hood has a hole for a ponytail. Kind of large hood, so a bit floppy when not up. I got 3 though and love them.

Purchase immediately!
I recently travelled to the Havasupai reservation at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. I only took this shirt to hike in and out, because it was light and thin. The shirt is long sleeve and has a hood. It was over 100 degrees in the Grand Canyon and we were hiking 8-10 hours a day for 4 days. When I tell you this shirt saved me I mean it saved me. It kept me cool even though it was a long sleeve. It is very breathable and when I did get it wet from being splashed by the water falls it dried off instantly. Unfortunately the red rocks in the canyon stained it but I will definitely be reordering in the future I need all the colors!!

Rides up under vest
Nice light upf 50 shirt but wish it wouldn’t ride up so much under hydration vest. Not sure why it has such large side slits which doesn’t keep it down at all and doesn’t noticeably improve airflow from my other upf running tops. Used it for antelope canyon 55K. Hood was nice and light weight to go over or under my hat for additional neck protection. Only complaint really is the riding up thing but it happens so much I had to take 2 stars. Otherwise would be my favorite running top.
