Great lightweight shirt

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this shirt after trying the long sleeve version of the hydroguard shirt, this is a great shirt for hot summer wear. The shirt is lightweight and wears well as a normal shirt. Also, just a quick mention that the shirt dries quickly if it gets wet.

Gets the job done, but fit and style could be better

While I liked this shirt, it is not without its flaws. While it gets the job done (protecting you from the sun while out on beach or pool day), the fit and style could be better. Nevertheless, let’s start with the positive. The shirt definitely delivers the UV protection it advertises. I tried it under a radiant Florida sun, from noon to late afternoon, and I did not get any skin irritation or sun…

Saving on the sunblock

I decided to wear this shirt for two main reasons this week. One was because we’re still “coming into summer” here in Texas so the water is still somewhat cool. The second reason is to test how well it prevents sunburn!

The shirt is comfortable, fits well and doesn’t make me feel hotter on a warmer 80-90 degree day.

My kids wanted to ride the water slide in our pool so my first dip…

Great for the water

This shirt worked really well as an alternative to wearing sunscreen in places where wildlife could be impacted. I was worried about overheating but that wasn’t an issue!

Great for everyday

I’ve been wearing this shirt for over a week now while working out, and I highly recommend them to everyone. They fit perfectly, Surprisingly, my sweat doesn’t bother the shirt at all. The design ensures excellent breathability, making it incredibly comfortable to wear. I sometimes forget I’m even wearing them. Additionally, their exceptional flexibility allows for a full range of motion, which is crucial. In my opinion, the shirt is worth every penny, and will be getting more.

The best shirt

This shirt is perfect for everything. Running, spending time in the sun, volleyball on the beach, even just chilling at home. It's super comfortable and soft, wicks sweaty, and is both light and protective. It feels like there's nothing on and the fit just works. It's great for any sort of water/beach sport. I took a picture at home to show the fit (runs slightly large) but this is definitely an outdoor shirt!

Great Product

I have been really impressed with these shirts, I have several of them. The fit is true to size and comfortable, providing plenty of freedom of movement without feeling loose or restrictive. The design is clean, modern, and versatile enough to wear both in and out of the water.

The fabric feels lightweight, breathable, and dries quickly after swimming. I especially appreciate how…
