my current favorite sunshirt (and lightweight layer)
Recommended in Pinhoti 100!
Used this during the hottest of hot summer days in the Bay Area and felt great! I'm pretty sun- and heat-sensitive, so really wanted something to keep the rays off and the heat out. Wicks moisture very well and doesn't feel clingy. Excellent product for peace of mind on sunny days.

I love this UVP shirt. It's lightweight, has pony and thumb holes which is very convenient. The trail society version from 2025 is the cutest pattern - light green with dark green flowers
