Does anyone know if these types of shirts work as advertised?

Thanks,

I dunno, but I have a farmer's tan, so I'd be willing to consider these. I have to wonder how they feel wearing them, too.

I remember the swimwear version of this was advertised in Sky Mall 5-6 years ago. I would hope if they are still in business it would actually work.

I never even thought about shirts like this. Im gonna look into these a bit more cause im sick of dark forearms and white shoulders.

Yeah, I'm interested in these as well just because I'm tired of dark arms and neck and white chest as well. I'll spring for one and let you guys know what I think. At ~60 bucks a pop I think they are a little expensive, so I'll just get one. Hopefully the quality is good enough to last a while.

Now you will be able to apply Sun Screen all of your body instead if just your arms and neck.

Exactly. I'll take having a funny looking tan (an unavoidable light one at that) over increasing my risk for skin cancer any day of the week.

I couldn't agree with you both more re: sun exposure in general. I am pretty religious about sunscreen application. I use products with zinc oxide and apply them quite liberally. Face, neck, arms and ears. (Don't forget the ears!) I also wear a hat and sunglasses...always. I plan to play for a long time so I do this even if it is overcast out.

I am amazed at how many golfers do not take these basic steps to protect their health and appearance, but to each his own.

Two points regarding the shirt. First, spray on sunscreen does exist and application is fairly easy. Second, there is no need to wear the shirt every round, therefore you would only be inconvenienced on limited occasions.

But the whole point is to get a tan in the easiest manner possible, so I wouldn't wear sunscreen on chest/back if I was wearing the shirt, anyway.

man, just golf shirtless, solves the problem right there

Ok, just to follow up on this thread. I finally broke down and bought one of these shirts. $51.90, including basic shipping. You can find them at this website: http://www.cooltan.com/shirtafct.htm

Basically, the shirt is awesome. The quality is good, and I expect the shirt to last a while. The best part of wearing it on the course is that the material is extremely light. So I stay very cool, and the material also works well at wicking away moisture. IMHO, better than clima-cool and similar product lines.

After a round, I just wash it in the sink and let it air dry. Dries very quickly.

The insert that came with the shirt said it functions like a 30spf sunscreen, so you don't just get toasted out there.

And no, I have no interest in the company. But I'll definitely buy another one.

I dunno, anything thin enough to tan through sounds like it will get eaten in the wash. I prefer regular cotton shirts.
