Looking good!
Fit: True to size
Lost some weight so needed a smaller UV protective shirt. Never wrinkled! The light blue looks great with anything. Worth the price.

Disappointed
Fit: True to size
I purchased this shirt to add to my summer wardrobe. I have several other UV protectant shirts purchased years ago. I fully expected that the new one would be like the older ones.

I bought this for sun protection on a trip to New Zealand. I wanted to wear it over tshirts or a light dress for sun coverage. I've been buying LL Bean clothings for 50 plus years.
