Tahoe Sun Crew - Women's

Year-round staple!

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Love these Tahoe crews so much. I wear them all year - in the summer hiking to have sun protection & also in the winter as a baselayer skiing. The fabric is high quality, silky smooth & is also the perfect fit. They do tend to be slightly thicker and thus a bit less breathable than some other options, so it's not always my go-to for river days that are over 85 degrees.

Not porous enough

I love this short but it is just way too warm! Great for cool days but I need protection with coolness!

Just like the others...

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I have a few hooded Tahoe Sun shirts and wear them near daily in the summer. I wanted one that didn't have a hood for running errands/hanging out around town. I bought the starfish color and it's a dull mustard - unusual and not sheer (I've found the lighter colors are rather sheer). I love the thumb holes, and am looking forward to wearing the Sun Crew as the weather continues to warm up down here.

Work Shirt

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I use the black version of this shirt for work (I am 5'6", 135, 34B, longer torso, longer arms). As other reviews mention, the collar rests kind of high on the neck, but I mean I wear it for sun protection outside so that's fine with me. Is it warm to wear a black long sleeve shirt outside on 90F days? Yes lol. But I need the sun protection. Luckily I'm running from AC to outside a lot so it's fine. But if I was outside for prolonged periods of time (more than 30 minutes), I'd be sweaty. It isn't the most lightweight fabric, but it beats wearing sunscreen. The thumb holes are nice. For me, the sleeves are a good length.

Fabric is nice, odd fit.

The fabric is really nice and so I wear it. The neck is really off, it feels more like a turtle neck as it rides on my neck. I constantly have to pull it forward as it is always at my neck.

Nice fabric, sizing is off

I returned this product before using it

Love the print, fabric feels silky and smooth. XL fits well in the arms and chest, but the body is weirdly snug. The arms are also very long, to the point that the thumb holes are past my thumbs. To be fair, I am short with short arms, so this might be a good feature for tall people.

Old Was Better

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I ordered 2 in 2022 and loved them, I just wished they had fun colors like the men's Tahoe shirts. I ordered 3 more in 2023 - two colors from 2022 and one new color. The new color doesn't have a pocket, the sleeves are too long, and the medium was tight on my biceps. The two old colors with pockets fit perfectly. I don't know why they changed the design.

Love this shirt

I have this in 2 colors. Very comfortable and fits well.

Thick

Familiarity:

The shirt is comfortable, the fabric is soft but it’s too thick for a sun shirt. It’s great for layering or alone if it’s 60-70 degrees. About 80 degrees at 9.5k feet and I was sweating like crazy.

Tropical Peach

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

I got the Medium tropical peach sun shirt and the color is very peachy and looks very different from online. I was thinking it would be more light pink, everyone's screens show color differently so it was a gamble. I also dont love the location of the pocket, if the shirt is not pulled down to your butt it doesn't sit straight, I would be annoyed with it while hiking/biking etc... I am going to check our the Sunhoodie instead because it doesn't have that pocket.
