Long sleeve shirt for men for summer

[af1212]

My H has terrible eczema and psoriasis. He no longer feels comfortable being outside in short sleeves. The combo of how his skin looks and also how uncomfortable he is means he wants to wear long sleeves all the time.

It is getting hotter here and he really needs some lightweight long sleeve shirts.

Any recs?

My H wears a lot of UPF shirts. He gets them from Sams/Costco mostly. Reel Life is the brand he prefers. They are very lightweight performance fabric, but long sleeves. Free Fly also has some nice-looking ones but we haven’t bought any yet. If you have a REI or Bass Pro type store, you’ll find lots of different brands.

We live in FL, and he loves these for summer.

Not what you asked but does he use any lotion? I use a calendula one from California Baby and it works wonders for me.

My husband wears the academy brand called Magellan. They make long sleeve wicking upf shirts. I think less than $20. Columbia also makes some but more money.

I love FreeFly Apparel. Also Columbia makes good lightweight SPF shirts.

If you have a Columbia outlet I would try their fishing shirts.

I’ve heard good things about this brand: www.coolibar.com/

I also recommend Columbia. Check out LL Bean. They have lightweight summer gear.

Yes he has a whole very complicated regimen ha but still has trouble with patches and more than anything I think he is self conscious about it.

I totally get it. I have it in my ears and on my scalp so when it flares I have ‘dandruff’. I never wear black tops.

My husband really likes the Patagonia sun shirts. They’re lightweight and protect from sunburns. This one comes on a bunch of colors and with other graphics too:

My dad lives on the water in the south and has a strong history of skin cancer in his family. He wears these to work in the sun (he mows 20 acres on a tractor once a week for himself and his neighbors, has a big garden, and likes to crab and fish). They hold up really well, though they are expensive.

I don't have any advice as to brands, but I'd start out with only buy one shirt (maybe one of a few different brands) bc I have eczema as well as Wesley and some material of the sweat wicking shirts are painful for us to wear b/c it snags on the dry skin especially if we're in a flair and it's cracked/bleeding/etc, i have to wear gloves while doing laundry. FUN!

I have some random SPF rash guard off of Amazon and it's the only type of shirt like that I can wear. Wes can wear rash guards from Target but they have to be super smooth and those run a little warm.

I hope your husband isn't limited in what he can wear though, b/c it stinks.

MH has this shirt from REI from a few seasons ago, and just ordered a new one this week: www.rei.com/product/119109/rei-co-op-sahara-plaid-long-sleeve-shirt-mens

He said it’s good except for VERY hot summer days. It has vented armpits which he likes.
