This long sleeve shirt is not transparent but I can feel the breeze pass through it like it is. I can wear it for UV protection and still feel like I’m not wearing a shirt. It’s pretty incredible. It dries ultrafast.
I purchased a long sleeve black Cortes shirt, and have used it both biking and running in moderate humidity weather from the low 60s to the low 80s degrees. The temperature regulation has been amazing, keeping me comfortable at the start when it is cool outside and remarkably not overheating at the end of my exercise. With most shirts I am thinking about removing the shirt as I finish my run. With the Cortes I have completely forgotten that the shirt is still on. The sleeves are only able to roll up to my forearms, but have been comfortable enough that I do not feel the need to roll them higher. So far the shirt has a clean sportive look, that can be worn in normal social situations without drawing attention. I like the clean welded trim
im ~5’10’ and 155lbs and i got a small. the sleeve diameter is too narrow- fit almost like a wetsuit. however the chest, hem length, shoulders was fine. also, the sleeve and neck hems has basically zero elasticity- not sure if i dont like that, but i was surprised by it nonetheless. feedback from anthony was to get a medium, but at this price point im hesitant because since everything but the sleeves were fine, the proportional fit issue will still be there but just larger.
This is an amazing t-shirt. I wish I had bought a weeks worth. I could wear this everyday. The short and long sleeve are perfect.
Purchased as a warm weather riding jersey to block out the sun on my arms, love the weight of the fabric and clean design. I'm 5'8" 160 lbs, ordered size small, the fit on the body was fine (not to loose, not to tight) but the sleeves around the wrist were to tight. I removed the cuff and it fit much better but now the sleeve is a little to short. Will have this altered to a 3/4 sleeve. Two suggestions, one make this without the cuff and two additional colors (white and grey).
