USGI wicking t-shirt... SPF??
« on: April 27, 2013, 05:57:41 PM »
Anyone know of the standard, surplus "sand" poly t-shirts have an SPF rating?

Recently doing more work down near the water and was introduced to synthetic shirts. Sold on 'em now. The job isn't picky about what I wear and the surplus shirts are my color... and dirt cheap. But try as I might I have found no mention of them having an SPF rating.

Not much help here but what surplus do you go to? Military only?

The standard issue doesn't have an "official" SPF rating, but because they're microfiber polyester it's probably somewhere around SPF 15-30.

Thanks, Colt808.

That's good enough for me.

bass monkey, the cheapest buys I saw online (ebay) are "USGI" - which one assumes is US military only.
