This top was just what I wanted to find for my wife. She doesn't do well in the sun for long and gets a rash instead of a sun burn or tan. I purchased this top for her to take to the beach on our vacation, and she loved the way it looked and fit. The best part is that it protected her chest, shoulders, and back from getting to much sun. We spent hours on the beach each day a lot of it under an umbrella, and using sun screen all the time. With the uv index at extreme levels. The only thing different this time was this top, and she had no trouble.
