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.

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.

The Spf50 sport version is pretty thick and does not wash off easily. This is good if you are doing outside activities in the heat and you sweat a lot.

Great question. I became curious and checked the website FAQ's. Re. expiration date of Sunforgettable mineral powders: greater than SPF 35 has an expiration date stamped on the product. Less than SPF 35 has no expiration date. I called the Colorscience representative and asked why that is so. She stated that the SPF 50 powder has activated titanium oxide and zinc that is in addition to the titanium and zinc present in the SPF 30 powder. I asked if the SPF 50 powder became essentially SPF 30 after the expiration date. She said she would throw the powder away after the expiration date is reached. I agree with you--this is a nice product.

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. You can check you their website at eltamd.com for additional product info.

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!

Their information says it is SPF 30 and doesn't mention waterproof, so I would say it isn't.

I have since thrown the package out. Although, the tube most probably lists them, but they are written in Korean. What is written in English is: SPF 42 PA+++, lightens skin tone, heals visible wrinkles and blemishes. I like the way it goes on, I do not beak out from it and it did lighten my age spots. So wearing this in the sun is good stuff. I have tried Physicians Formula because it says it's Organic, but it stings my eyes and I break out from it. Hope this helps!

I would not use the SPF 50 product for intense sun exposure after one year. SPF 30 has no expiration date. I decided just to use the SPF 30 product so I would not have to worry about the expiration date.

The SPF 30 allows you to stay in the sun for 30 min. without burning as opposed to the 50 that allows for 50 minutes of sun. I don't know specifically about Rocky Mountain Sunscreen but most 50's don't seem to be any different but have more chemicals. If you have sensitive skin you might prefer the 30.

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.

You don't have to. Just make sure you wear sunscreen of about SPF 50. SPF 50 might be overkill but definitely nothing less than SPF 30.

Very simple. "Cover" will give you much better coverage. That is why I use C23. I've tried all kinds of products of all kinds of brands on the market; liquid foundations, tinted moisturizers, tinted sunscreen lotions, compressed powers, loose mineral powders..... C23 was the winner. I love its high SPF, too!It is more suitable for 40+ cuz it has tendency of "very moist feel". If you are under 40, I recommend "IOPE" C23 by the same company.

I don't recall an SPF number on the product, but I would assume it was relatively low given it was stocked at a tanning salon.

All I know is it is supposed to have 50 SPF. But Don't buy this on amazon because this product is fake. I bought it a few times and it used to be good quality and know whoever sends it- ships the knock off. It smells and feels off. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I can't actually say, only because I have been using it for 17 to 20 years every morning. All I know is that I am 55 and I have no sagging jowls. I am a caucasion woman with very light skin. I attribute this partly to no drinking, drugs, using sunscreen and a hat, lots of water, exercise, and also facial exercise with Facial Flex.
