Vapor ApparelMen's Outdoor UPF 50+ Long Sleeve T-Shirt, UV Sun Protection for Fishing, Running, Hiking, Swimming

I'm satisfied with the two shirts that I bought. I honestly thought that these shirts were gonna be too small and the sleeves too short. I'm 6'6" tall and weigh 365lbs. So most consider me a giant of a human being. My arm length 36-38" If I remember correctly. Even when I extend my arms, the sleeves don't come up too much. Also, I liked that the shirts are long, and that it comes way down past my waist,...which is normally a problem for me. Other than that,...it's very breathable as described. As far as durability,...I can't say yet. I haven't put it through it's paces yet. To have protection when it's sunny and hot, but still feel comfortable,...I think these shirts are the way to go.

Medication I now take makes my skin extremely sensitive to the sun. And I do mean “extremely” sensitive. I ordered the Vapor Apparel UPF Long sleeve Solar Performance T-Shirt that the site says has an “up to UPF 50+”. I received the shirt, put it and another shirt on and went out to walk my dog. The second shirt I left unbuttoned because it was warm out. Later in the day I noticed my chest was itching – big time. The Vapor T-Shirt did not give me the protection I needed.I sent Vapor Apparel an e-mail asking what their statement “up to UPF 50+”. This is the response I received from Nick:“Thank you for your feedback request on the specifics of the SPF rating of the shirts. All of the shirts have a minimum SPF ranking of 35. A couple of the colors rank higher (White for example ranks 58 SPF and Black ranks over 50 spf). Color has an impact on the manner in which the sun interacts with the fabric. I know this is not an exact rating – we are working quickly with the SPF ranking group to get a more universal grade. Most of the colors are scoring in the mid and upper 40’s for SPF. As you can see we are wanting to be as precise as possible with a challenging color issue. We are working to address this issue in other ways as well.The shirt ranks very well with customers for protection. We have received almost universal positive feedback. If for any reason the shirt does not meet your expectations we can provide you with a full refund. We hope this information is helpful and you enjoy the shirt.Please let us know if you require additional information.Best regards,NickVapor Apparel”I’m rating this shirt 5 stars because:1- Most purchasers give it rave reviews and,2- The honesty of Nick’s response.Though I did like the looks, feel and price of the shirt it just isn’t able to give me the UV protection I need.

I really like the material of the Vapor but I read the reviews for sizing and was thrown off (my mistake). I'm 5'11" and 199 and ordered the Medium at some reviewers comments. As it turns out, the Large would have been a better call.

Vapor Apparel makes a very good performance shirt for men - I needed protection from the sun due to numerous skin cancers over the past few years and my Derm Doctor recommended going with shirts having high UPF protection - although Vapor's price point is half of what a HUK shirt would cost if you're really budget restricted but need the protection you probably should look at Hanes Cool Dri long sleeve shirts which are about half the cost of Vapor's shirts - I purchased both and both work well for their intended purpose! As far as the size I found that I could have used a size Large with either brand but they fit me close (maybe not snug) across the chest so I ordered X-Large which fits up top much better to my taste but you have to put up with a longer length in the shirt - if you tuck it in that issue doesn't come into play but if you leave it out then you may want to stay with a Large.

This is NOT full cut. The fabric is clingy too. Returned item. For outdoor use prefer loose fitting and for the fabric not to stick to the skin. As a body shirt in the gym it is ok and more like body armour products. Description is not accurate.

Love this shirt!I have several brands of sun shirts but this one is undoubtedlythe best by a good margin.First the color Coyote is a gorgeous gold color which looks great in personThe fit for me is perfect I'm 6'1" 215 lbs mol. with long arms, no gut and athletic build. It just lays on your skin and conformsto your body.The fabric is very comfortable and does not cling even during sweat cycles.What I found different about this shirt is , while working in the 90-95 degree plus Florida sun for hours on end is I didn't really get soaked in sweat till I stopped moving. This is what separates this shirt from my other sun shirts. Hanes,Baleaf, Habit, and Koofin.While those shirts are pretty good this one is much betterI was protected from the sun's Ray's and was able to keep working without burning up.Another thing during and after working I did not stink! The Hanes shirts while very good develop a bad odor when soaked.Vapor brand let's the breeze come thru to cool you off and has normal body odor smell not excessive or unusual.Ok to sum up:Quality is top notch with quality stitching throughout. WeVery comfortable and looks good.Works as advertised.I will buy several more for work and keep some for casual wear.As a landscaper I am rough on clothes.The ones for work will get stained from grass,dirt sap, grease, gas, etc just like any other shirt.Very glad I tried these and am happy with my purchase. Highly recommend!

First I would say that I normally wear a medium, but I went for a small for a slightly slimer fit.I have order another three after this in different colours, and in the Tshirt style.The fabric is very soft and lightweight. It breaths well, it's zinc treated so it stays fresher longer, and not to forget protects your skin from the sun.I Really like that there 100% polyester with no elastic, like most I have come across. The problem with this is elastic is that it holds on moisture, causeing it to wick and dry slower, not something you want in a Proformance clothing.At a good price I would definitely recommend these for Hikeing, Fishing and over outdoor sport, where you plan on being active and in the sun for long periods of time.

My husband has 3rd degree burns and has had skin grafts. This t shirt slowed him to sit outside in the shade for a little while, kept him cool and didn't irritate his skin.

purchased 4 different colours however if you get any marks on the light coloured ones they DO NOT come clean .!! No amount of stain remover will get them clean !Stick to the darker colours !

Bought to keep off the sun when working outside in strong sun and it seems to. I am larger than I would like to be around the waist and this fits loosely. I expected it to be too tight but it is exactly right. Cool when working, lets any breeze through. Long sleeves can be used to cover the hands and long in the body so no gap when bending.

I have now used this top to go on several 10km runs. Its great for days when it's too cold for a short sleeve top and its breathable enough so I dont get to hot and sweaty. It's also proved to be colour fast after several washes.
