Things I'm Lovin' Tuesday: Patagonia Capilene® Lightweight Crew

This is a non-sponsored review and I purchased my own UPF shirt.

Last year I started a monthly blog series called

THINGS I'M LOVIN' TUESDAY!!!

Past post can be found:

And make sure to check back every last Tuesday of the month!

Now onto what I'm lovin' this month...

Being a natural redhead, I also have quite fair skin.

I've been very careful about applying sunscreen my entire life,

but sadly I've still had a few skin cancer scares!

Over the July 4th holiday, I went on a long hike with very little shade.

Before going on that hike though, I hit up Adventure 16

and left the store with a Patagonia UPF long sleeve shirt.

Yes, long sleeves in the heat of Summer sounded terrible,

but it's made from super lightweight material

 and I wanted all the protection I could get!

I wore the shirt the very next day on an 8 mile hike,

and not only did I not get sunburned at all,

but the shirt actually seemed to cool me down too!!!

If you get sunburned easily too, 

I HIGHLY recommend this shirt!

I love it so much I'd totally buy a second one.
