Perfect Water Shirt
I bought this for a Hawaii trip and it exceed all expectations. I wore this for countless hours at the pool, in the ocean, playing with kids, snorkeling, etc. Shirt stayed in place without riding up, didn’t restrict my movement, dried quickly, wasn’t too hot, and I loved keeping room keycards and even car keys (in waterproof container) inside the zip side pockets while I enjoyed the water. I’m pale, sunburn easily, and didn’t even tan where this shirt covered despite not putting sunscreen on under it and spending hours in direct Hawaiian sun—wet or dry this sunshine works! PROS * No sunburn, not even a tan * Did not get too warm * Easy to take on/off * Dried quickly * No odor * Zip pockets on sides CONS * Wish it came in more light colors
Great Summer Jacket
I this this jacket is great! It is light weight and super comfortable. Exactly what I was looking for as a coverup and sun protection jacket. Size depends on how you want it to fit. If you want tight like a rash guard, go with your normal size. If you want a more comfortable fit, size up. I often wear size XS, I decided to get a S for a more comfy fit.
Lightweight sun protection for biking!
I've been searching for full-length sun protection that isn't too clingy or hot to wear on my 20-mile daily bike commute to work. This Carve Designs jacket beats the other brands I've tried with its lightweight good looks in great colors. As an added bonus, it's got 2 zip-up side pockets that will fit lip balm, AirPods, or an ID badge. With this, I won't have to slather on sunscreen and arrive at the office with sticky arms, smelling like the beach. I also really like the high collar and the front zip that enables me to keep things cool on the bike, while protecting the back of my neck. Not sure how it would hold up for outdoor pursuits like hiking since the fabric is pretty sleek and lightweight, but it's perfect for cycling.
NOT nylon but poly
The description on rei.com is nylon and spandex, but the tag says it is recycled polyester. I ordered the white shirt and its tags say it is recycled plastic made into polyester. Here on website this shirt is described as nylon. It is a great fit and has a double zipper, which is a feature I love. But polyester feels really hot to me while nylon is cool so I will have to return.
Great rash guard
I use this as a rash guard for pool lap swimming and also at the beach. It feels good in the water, doesn't stretch or sag and isn't too tight either. Holds up well to chlorine. Appreciate the standing collar to prevent neck-burn - it's not too high that it sags or too low that it doesn't screen the sun. The pockets have a fine zip closure which is useful for using this at the beach and the main zipper is two-way.
Versatile sunshirt
I really like the two way zipper and pockets--very hard to find them in other sunshirts! Wish that there were thumbholes but you can't have everything. Only minor complaint is that it fits a bit boxy so if you have curves (hips for me, so I had to get a M despite normally being a S) there are parts that will be a bit tight and other parts that will be looser. Otherwise great shirt!
Great quality construction but poor fabric
I wore this once - on the airplane on the way to my Florida trip - and it picked up some color from the airplane seat. I haven't been able to get the stain out, so the jacket is now useless. I really liked the quality and the type of sun protection fabric, but I wear other SPF clothing that is able to be washed without a problem. I would not recommend this company as a result, there are other vendors out there with SPF fabrics that clean easily.
I just don't know why anyone sized up!
This shirt looks and feels great, but unfortunately it's way too big for me. I'm typically a small in shirts, sometimes a medium, and based on reviews I sized up and that was a mistake! I wanted it to be snug, since it's a water activity shirt but I'm not sure even a small would be snug based on how loose the medium is on me. I might end up exchanging it because it does seem really nice. I'm 5'8", 140lbs, 34C.
too too small
I ordered this item twice because I liked it to wear over a shirt and it has pockets. I usually wear a small in everything. The small and the medium size were both too small for me. I sent back both sizes.
Would buy again
High quality. Runs a bit small. Zipper is very difficult to get started at the bottom. I stopped unzipping it all the way and pull on and off over my head.
