The clever scientists at Cape Union Mart who made this long-sleeved shirt deserve a cold beer. We’ve used it regularly when exploring the desert regions of southern Africa because the synthetic, quick-dry, lightweight and UV-protective material keeps one cool and sunburn-free. The mesh lining on the collar, upper back and chest prevents the shirt from getting too sweaty, while small zips on the chest can be opened for ventilation.
