[ The material is so soft and light. It will be very comfortable to wear in the heat of the summer. Added plus is the 50 spf protection! The color is a very nice shade of blue and fits as expected for the size.

[ I got this Hurley UPF 50+ Raglan t- shirt for my grandson for when he comes swimming at our house. I prefer these shirts to using lotion. It protects his shoulders and back where he usually gets a sunburn. They seem to run a little small, but maybe they are supposed to be tight fitting.

[ I love having these UPF shirts when the summer time comes for my kids. My boys and my daughter use them when they are swimming, are at tennis camp, or at sailing camp. I like that they provide sun protection and I do not have to worry as much about their skin.( I still put sunscreen on them) The fabric is so lightweight, it dries quickly. I will be purchasing more of these! I wash these on delicate and let them air dry as to keep them looking their best.

[ These board shorts are very nice! I got these for my 11- year- old son and they fit very well. They feel very well- made.

5 Stephlee1824
[ I gave these shorts to my 7 year old son and he likes them. They are light weight and do n't have that mesh material on the inside that regular swim trucks usually have. They dry quickly. I also like that they can be worn as shorts or swim trunks. It makes it nice for days that he might be going swimming but also might not. They have a back pocket. There is a tie in the front but that does not tighten the shorts at all and looks more for looks. They waist is n't very elastic either.

5 Needa
[ My son is going to love this shirt of Hurley. It is light weight and has the polyester material. It will keep him cool while he is out playing sports this summer.

[ I love this brand! This long sleeve t- shirt is so comfortable and I love the way it fits! I am also a huge fan of the bright color! I am always looking for sun protective clothing that have great UPF and this one is 50+. I definitely recommend checking them out!

5 AmyM
[ These shorts are great. They fit my son perfectly and are adjustable for him to be able to keep them up. I like that they 're long, giving him a little extra coverage. They are lightweight so he does n't get too hot in them.
