The Best UV Protecting Sun Shirt.
This shirt's tightly-woven nylon fabric blocked 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays--up to 30% more than others tested--in laboratory tests commissioned by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. This lightweight women's shirt was judged best by virtue of its unsurpassed UV blocking ability--UPF 50+--without messy sunscreen lotions or chemical treatments that wear off or wash away. It showed no signs of shrinkage after five wash cycles, besting all other tested models and all but one in tests for tear resistance, making it ideal for outdoor activities. The open-knit construction allows for total breathability, helping keep the body dry and cool by wicking away moisture and providing an air-conditioned effect on hot days. The fabric can also be worn in the pool or surf, yet dries in minutes once out of the water. The collared shirt offers classic styling with a six-button front, a generous cut for wearing over a bathing suit, and a split bottom for comfort. Two front pockets. White. Provides a generous, roomy fit. Specify women's sizes XS (4-6), S (6-8), M (10-12), L (14-16), or XL (18). (1 lb.)
