I now have two of these and will inevitably purchase more! I have a bit of a short torso so with highwaisted pants they align perfectly. I get very tired of so many women's tops going down so low that they get in the way of a harness, backpack, etc. This is perfect. It stays out of the way without losing coverage. It keeps me cooler than all other sun shirts I own, despite it being black. I cannot say enough good things about this shirt. I live in it during the summer in a desert climate and long days up in the alpine with high sun exposure. I could not recommend more highly! My Dimensions: 5'5", 120 lbs, 32DDD, Size XS
Ladies, we have to start giving this shirt poorer reviews or it'll NEVER go on sale! I have the Blue Slate Scattered Dye one and it is so, so perfect. I ordered a M, am 5' tall and 122 lbs with a mostly athletic build but with a tummy-bulge that doesn't usually look flattering in this type of fabric. However, this shirt hangs nicely over my tummy. The arm lengths are perfect for me to use the thumb holes without extra fabric hanging around my wrists. The black one is sold out, otherwise I'd be using my newest coupon for it.
Perfect sun shirt for literally anything in warm temps, hiking, biking, out fishing on the boat, I've even used it for swimming as rash guard type shirt to keep protected. Its super cute, so comfy, fits me like a dream, AND I love the white checkered pattern and little mock neck. Please make more colors other than black, I'd buy every single one!
MH nailed the crop length on this - so flattering. The top is light, breathable, and the fabric feels great against the skin. I got the black color, and it looks so good with the Dynama pants or the Basswood pull on pants (both of which I bought in the same order and am also totally loving). I've worn these combos around town and also gone backpacking in them. I haven't worn this shirt climbing yet though, and I'm not 100% sure how it would hold up, as the fabric is quite lightweight, so I worry it will snag on the rock. That said, it's definitely a total win for hiking/backpacking. I often order a size up in tops because I like my tops looser, so I ordered the size I normally would in this shirt and it is perfect - a nice flowy crop.
These long sleeve shirts are so lightweight they don't feel like you're wearing long sleeves at all. They keep me so comfortable that I own 4 of them in various styles (cropped, full length zip and even a Men's shirt) because they've become my go-to when prepping for summer days outside. I ride horses and these are perfect for keeping me sun safe without feeling hot or sweaty. These dry almost instantly and don't cling to my body. Even the cropped style! Also major points for the thumb holes being so seamlessly built into the style that when I opt not to use them the sleeves don't look ridiculous and aren't bulky.
I am so obsessed with this top! The fit is perfect. I sized up to get a slightly more relaxed fit and it looks great. The "crop" element is not super pronounced. It cuts off at my natural waist and will look great with high-waist bottoms. My only regret is that I have been thinking about this shirt for almost a year and I waited so long to order. If they put out more color options I would definitely order another.
Bought this shirt last month. I Love how soft it is. It is cropped but I got the medium when I’m usually small - and it hits right at my hips and has a nice flow away from the body that isn’t clingy. I’ve been using it for running and biking and it is perfect. The seams are flat stitched and feel durable. Just buy this. It’s UPF too <3
I bought this last week and I’m ready to buy more. Please make more solid earth tones and I’ll start a collection! Great quality shirt, fabric is very soft and light yet not sheer. Fit is true to size and I love the cropped cut. This is not too cropped and I have a normal to long torso. this only shows my stomach if i lift arms above head. I love this for hikes but especially kayaking because the crop keeps the shirt from getting wet in my seat. This is also super cute, more surfer vibes than “outdoorsy”
I think this shirt is one of my absolute favorites. It's cute, and can be worn to any of the following: - something classy (I have the white one), paired with a nice pair of pants - literally on river rafting trip: good sun protection layer, not too hot, not too thin, easy to dip into the water to keep you cool - skiing/in cold weather as a thermal layer: it's warm and comfy, soft fabric for a long day under a jacket This shirt does it all and I love to rave about it, so I hope you get it and like it ;)
I was apprehensive about ordering this because I have quite a different body type than the models, but I’m glad I did! It’s super light and comfy, and very flattering. Cropped shirts can either look really good or really really bad on me, but I felt super cute while wearing it. I got a size large and it was a pretty close fit—I am 5’2 but about 155lbs with a large bust. Not skin tight but not oversized. I liked it enough that I’m ordering a second one sized up for days when I want a looser fit.
