They are awesome, bought a bunch for family and friends after I saw an instructor wearing one during a shooting class. I always cover up on the range or outside for extended periods in heavy sun. Big ridiculously hat, neck wrap, long shirts. I look very Arabian. These can cut down on the garb. They even make ‘‘em with a face shield in the hood, I think that is for sun wind protection not a vivid think. These have cut the garb down a bit. I don’t think they make you cooler other than all these are “dryfit” nylon so they won’t get soaked with sweat they just protect from the burn in a better way. Different manufacturers have different sun protection ratings based on construction and materials. I got a bunch from Epic Sports $ 10-15. for a basic hooded long sleeve drift shirt. Walmart Bass Pro carry them in stock pricer I’m sure.
