What SPF rating is this shirt? I think all Columbia Silver Ridge Shirt are SPF 50+ but in the product description above it says 40.

I believe it said 50 on the tag when I got my shirt. It says 50 in the product description. You can also Google the Columbia website to double check.

I have washed it many times and I think the wrapper said 50 is the limit. I also dry it in the dryer at normal temps. I have tried other brands that were shorter and they tend to get lumpy.

Hi Junior, this is a great sunscreen for men and women. I buy it for my husband. For myself I buy the tinted (with a touch of makeup), so make sure yours is not tinted :) which this one is not. My aesthetitician's husband uses this also, and I also use this on my 10 year old's face. A wonderful and respected product. My sister in law is a dermatologist, and the whole family uses this also. 50 is a great amount, you don't need more. Good luck.

The shirt will surely help with its SPF protection, but it feels to me that the shirt adapts to the water temperature quickly. It is a quality shirt. n I found it and shirts like it to be a little difficult to remove after getting out of the water, if they are still wet. Wait fior them to dry (that will be fast), or give him a hand. Good luck.

Each person is different and their tolerance to climate is going to be different. I tend to overheat easily and found that 45-65 with this product is great. It keeps me cool in the warmer weather and warm in the colder weather. However 65 might be the extreme of this weight. I would suggest a light weight merino wool base layer if you are going to be in 60+ degree weather. You can always strip down a layer but it is hard to strip off your base layer :)

Yes its a high spf. I even wore it when i went to cancun and my face didnt even get burned. I put regular sunscreen on my body and i got burned on my shoulders and chest. So i was impressed with the sunscreen in this. Trust me it looks flawless on and i love how it goes with your skin color when you tan, so no more switching shades.

The container has no information regarding spf rating and does not mention clothing specifically. With regard to fabric in general the label says the following: "Safe for all natural and synthetic fabrics. No odor, yellowing or stiffening."

I am not sure. I use this daily but if I am in the pool or going to be in the sun, I use a waterproof children's sunscreen. I try to get as little sun on my face as possible. I do like this is 50 SPF & it's lite and absorbs quickly. I also like that it's tinted & not white. I hope this helps!

Yes, this was specifically recommended for me by my dermatologist (I don't purchase it through them) and I would say it is the only face "make up" with an SPF of 45 that has NEVER caused irritation or itching. Even wearing it in hot and sweaty situations, I have actually reapplied it as a Sunscreen, with no reaction. I love this line, and would recommended it to anyone, with only the exception of those looking for heavy coverage. My daughter has typical stress/teen acne issues, and uses this with a cover up stick when necessary.

My sense is that there is some degree of UV protection and that's why I purchased one, as it was recommended by my dermatologist. Most cotton fabric has a minimum SPF of 15 for example.

It has one breast pocket (left side), but no side pockets. I just bought a Columbia Women's Tamiami II Long Sleeve Shirt, and it has two zipped side pockets, The cut is slightly more generous than the Silver Ridge, too (still women's cut, but it seems like the medium in the T-II is in between the M and L of the other).

UV Clear SPF 46 is formulated for skin types prone to acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation. UV Daily SPF40 is a moisturizing sunscreen for normal or combination skin types, which is also tinted. I assume that translates into having different ingredients, hence, the difference in price. I know there was a price difference at my doctor's office as well. Like I stated in my review, I had to exchange the SPF40 for the SPF46 because the 40 caused my face to turn red. The 46 truly is much milder for me and doesn't cause any irritation.

I don't know that the protection is SPF 50, but I can say for sure that I've never had a sun burn problem wearing this hat while boating. And I boat all day long in the hot sun in Missouri in July, so I see no issue or problem. Overall, it's a great product and I highly recommend it.

Oddly, I don't know but must have seen it. Take a look at a similar garment frmo REI and use that as a reasonable guess. Whatever the rating, it is a cool, comfortable shirt that I find well suited to most California climates.

I am not heard of your product but I swear by the Columbia product. It is very good for chafing, sunburns, insect bites, ichy rash. I've used it for 20 years or so and absolutely love what it does. I highly reccommend trying it, it does the job.

I live in Florida and bought the shirts to serve as sunscreen any time of the year but they are pretty lightweight and breathable so they don't really keep you very warm on a cool day. They're made to wear in warmer weather and, like I said, they let air flow pretty well and still provide a UPF of 50... I guess the answer is... it's for a hot summer... and they do have nifty tabs so you can roll up and make short sleeves... I love the two shirts I got and the colors are very vibrant. Happy shopping!
