The CQR Men’s UPF 50+ Sun Protection Long Sleeve Quick Dry Athletic Shirt is constructed from a blend of polyester and spandex, offering a lightweight and stretchable fabric that moves with the body during physical activity. The material is engineered to provide a high level of ultraviolet protection, blocking up to 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, which helps reduce the risk of sun damage during prolonged outdoor exposure. The shirt features an integrated moisture-wicking mechanism that pulls sweat away from the skin to the outer surface, where it evaporates rapidly, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable during running, hiking, or gym workouts. The fabric composition allows for four-way stretch, ensuring a full range of motion without restriction.

The long sleeves are designed for added coverage, while the thumbhole cuffs provide extra hand protection and help keep the sleeves in place during movement. The shirt’s flatlock seams minimize chafing and irritation, making it suitable for high-intensity activities or long-duration wear. The collar is designed to lie flat and maintain shape, contributing to a neat appearance even after repeated use. In terms of texture, the shirt feels smooth and soft against the skin, with a matte finish that does not cling uncomfortably when damp.

The quick-dry property is particularly effective in humid conditions, as the fabric dries significantly faster than traditional cotton shirts. The material is breathable, allowing air circulation to regulate body temperature, which is beneficial for both warm-weather runs and cooler outdoor hikes when layered appropriately. The shirt is cut in a regular athletic fit, accommodating a wide range of body types without being overly loose or tight. It is available in multiple colors, all using the same UPF-rated fabric.

The construction emphasizes durability, with reinforced stitching at stress points like the shoulders and sides. The fabric holds its shape after washing, resisting pilling and color fading under normal care. The stretch component also contributes to long-term elasticity retention, ensuring the shirt maintains its performance characteristics over time.

This shirt is suited for active individuals who spend time outdoors, including runners, hikers, cyclists, and those who engage in water sports or general fitness training. The UPF 50+ rating makes it a practical choice for sun-sensitive skin, while the quick-dry and stretch features support dynamic movement and comfort. At the listed price, it offers a balance of functionality and value for those seeking reliable sun protection athletic wear.
