FISHEAL Men’s Performance Fishing Hoodie Shirt – UPF 50+ UV Sun Protection Long Sleeve Shirts with Mesh Face Mask

Surprised and Pleased
This is a nice light piece that not only shields you from the sun but keeps you surprisingly cool. I had it for a couple of weeks and wore it to bed as a pajama top for a while and slept better since I was cooler. Actually wore the hood too which kept me cooler.At first I thought it was too big, but the looseness in the body helps air flow. The sleeves seemed a little long (material went well past my knuckles), but once I started moving around I realized that I had coverage without restricting arm movement. The hood seemed a little big, but again, the looseness helps ventilation.I haven’t taken a close look at the material content, but it feels like it is barely there. Very nice and wearable all day as an only layer.One test this weekend was a visit to Carolina Beach – high eighties and medium humidity put the real feel at mid nineties. I took a long walk with the dog around 3pm in the middle of the heat of the day, hood and face mask up. I wore a baseball cap underneath the hood.I sweat heavily with even minor activity in all conditions, but the North Carolina humidity sucks me dry. After about a forty five minute walk, my neck and high on my back were a little wet, but I was otherwise dry above the waist – a very different and pleasant experience. Equally important was that I felt great at the end of the walk, but my poor dog was sucking windmand collapsed on the floor from the heat. I was surprised that a thin shirt like this could protect me from the sun and keep me so much cooler than if I was just wearing a tshirt or tank top.I got plenty of double takes as I walked down the street, but I was so cool and comfortable (for this region) that I didn’t care. I just wish I had some kind of pants or shorts to keep my lower half equally protected and cool.With the baseball cap on, the hood was snug, so don’t fret if it feels big right out of the package. It is a good size with or without the hat. If you want to maintain the fit of the hood, the drawstrings have clips that lock the size in place.Very pleased with this product. The price point is great. The only way I could be more pleased is if it were free.I took a chance on this cover up since I have to sit through many outdoor games for my kids and did not expect to get something so effective at keeping me cool and protected. I would have been the last person to wear long sleeves and a hood in the summer, especially in Carolina, but this really works.I have had it for less than a month, so I cannot comment on durability. But I am looking forward to trying it out hiking, playing golf and on my stand up paddle board. Might have to get another one…

Sleeves a little long, but nice
Awesome shirt, great for outside work/ fishing whatever. I work in south Florida. Head/neck/face and arm sun protection a must. Perfect shirt for this
