Sun protection while cycling without smell-check!
I wanted sun protection that didn't stink like a chemical factory after I finished a bike ride and this is it. While riding my bike on a hot sunny day, the shirt was not too hot-- it benefits from the breeze while riding and keeps you cooler. It does not smell after the ride too- I took it off and draped it over the back of my car seat and it dried and does not smell. I can wear it for another ride if I want. If you are a competitive rider, this shirt will add weight-- it's heavy compared to synthetic fabrics, but that was not an issue for me. It will also work well when riding during the winter too. Be aware, you'll want to hand-wash.
