Vapor Apparel Men's UPF 50+ UV Sun Protection Performance Long Sleeve T-Shirt

Comment

Even though I am a women, I ordered the mens shirts cause I wanted them to be roomy and loose. These shirts are just amazing. After dreading summer season with the copious amount of sunscreen I have to go thru and how dirt sticks to the sunscreen while gardening, I decided to up my game with SPF shirts instead. No burning whatsoever with these shirts. I LOVE the fact that I can take a break from gardening, go into the house and just take off the shirt. Before I had to immediately take a shower, or not touch anything in the house due to dirt covering my body. I also chose the mens shirts cause they had WAY more color options. The womens colors were depressing. If you are looking for a good, well made SPF shirt....you cant go wrong with these. I will be purchasing more in the future.

I really like the material of the Vapor but I read the reviews for sizing and was thrown off (my mistake). Im 511" and 199 and ordered the Medium at some reviewers comments. As it turns out, the Large would have been a better call.

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, Nick Vapor 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.

Im satisfied with the two shirts that I bought. I honestly thought that these shirts were gonna be too small and the sleeves too short. Im 66" 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 dont 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,...its very breathable as described. As far as durability,...I cant say yet. I havent put it through its paces yet. To have protection when its sunny and hot, but still feel comfortable,...I think these shirts are the way to go.
