Is this a lightweight shirt for a hot summer or a bit heavier?

I've used these shirts for years as my primary top for desert river trips. It is not the coolest shirt on the market, but close. It dries very fast and provides decent sun protection.

It is a nice light weight, doesn't feel heavy, for summer may want sleeveless, but I give it a big thumbs up!

Bought this for my wife, so I asked her what she thought. She said "Both. It's a great hot-weather shirt because it's light and breathable, but I have also worn it in cooler weather over a tee-shirt, and it provides just enough extra warmth on those cool mornings." She loves the shirt, which I bought her because we were going hiking, and I so liked the men's version of the shirt, which I have worn for several years. Hope that helps.

Light as air, and provides air circulation and SHADE on a hot summer day... I LOVE THIS SHIRT!

Very lightweight& practical.Quick dry after laundering it, no ironing needed, perfect for summer.

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!

Kit, the vest is moderately light weight. It is not heavy, but, I would certainly not consider this weight super light weight. I live in Tucson and do not find it hot. As for quick dry, I would say no. It is not quick dry material, it is more of a cotton blend. I use my vest for birding to hold my extra camera lenses, field guides and snacks. I love it, it does get too hot in the warmth of the desert days and is warm layer on chilly winter mornings in Arizona. Good luck!

hi, not quite sure how to answer heavy. but it certainly is hot. i sleep with a cotton sheet and this comforter during summer and i end up kicking it off. it's plenty warm during winter as well. even then, i sleep with just a sheet and the comforter.

Hmmm I am a big guy about 220lbs and around 6ft sooo depends, but I'd say it feels heavier than most and almost too hot for me which is good on those below 0 days... def not for the fall

Although it is a thick and heavy comforter, it is cool enough. I live in Texas where we have high temperatures. But this comforter is not too heavy, it is comfortable even during the summer.

It's very light weight. I have a lot of clothes hanging on it and it is holding up very well.

No, it's quite lightweight. I don't think you will find anything lighter. It could get a bit humid, but not anymore than other rain jackets.

I have lighter quilts, but I would still consider it Summer weight. I love the way it looks.

Don't know, but look like it in the photos. If you are in a hot climate and you have light duty, you will love this shirt. Feels like wearing nothing at all. Very thin material so might not hold up well if you handle a jackhammer all day.

It is a nice weight for summer. I really like it, and so glade I have the matching throw.

I have not had any issues with the fabric getting hot, and I live in south Texas where summer days are frequently 100F +.

It's thin but that equates to greater ability to move, especially in the shoulders. I wore it in 68 degree open water and was quite comfy. The following year it was a bit warmer and chose to go without for more freedom of movement.

it's good for summer. i just removed the down comforter i have under it in the winter. i do sleep with a fan on, but this is a nice light-weight quilt.

By itself, it feel light, but warm. But if you put duvet cover over it, it is *very* warm... too warm for summer, certainly.

It is very lightweight. Without a comforter inside it weighs the same as a basic sheet.

It's very lightweight and has sweatband to absorb if you perspire. I have a heavier cotton one and even though this one is nylon it breaths well. Also dries fast

I would recommend wearing a lightweight long sleeve shirt instead. These are quite thick, and most comfortable when getting wet.
