These shirts are so great, no need for sunscreen on your arms! And they are relatively cool in hotter weather, for a long sleeve shirt. I wear them everyday in the summers, to protect my sun damaged arms! I need more than one, to have a clean one everyday. Nice pockets for I pod or ID. . . .spare change, keys.
Although the shirt doesn't ventilate as well as I was hoping it would, it may be unrealistic to expect any shirt to ventilate enough to keep you comfortable in southern Arizona in the summer. I do like the style and the material - and am planning to order a second shirt.
