Why we love this product:
Some outdoor adventures involve a lot of time in direct sunlight, which can be extremely harsh on the skin. If you find yourself rafting, backpacking, fishing, kayaking, or taking long day hikes in exposed areas, you may find that you need protection that sunscreen can’t always provide. Having a lightweight, cool sun shirt is essential on hot summer days. And with this quick-dry top, you don’t have to sacrifice style while saving your skin! Plus it is sustainably made and ethically sourced (bluesign certified).
