I get the feeling that Solumbra's is made with their woven fabric, rather than a knit. Usually their "4-way stretch" fabric is noted in the description.

I have a woven Kokatat spf shirt which I wear when it's too hot for my long sleeve wool shirt. It does flap in the wind a good bit...
If I were in the market for a new spf shirt, I think I'd get the one you're looking at, the Jaggad. It looks good!

Thanks, Knot. I suspect you're right about the Solumbra top. The one thing that keeps drawing me to it, however, is that I am sure the quality is top notch. I have a couple of Solumbra tops and I basically live in them all summer (along with my convertible pants from REI). I'm concerned that the unisex fit won't be comfortable, though.
Trek, I've been eyeing the same Shebeest top! I would like to know the difference between Microwic UV and Microwic UV+. I looked on the Shebeest website and all it had was the UV+. If the l/s top (UV) was made from the same fabric as this s/s top (UV+), I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I have the s/s version and it fits and looks great. It would be cool enough for summer even if it had long sleeves.

Hi Alex,
I have the solrace jersey in pink and love it. It might be a slightly different model though as mine doesn;t zip all the way down. I must confess that I haven't been riding much this summer as it has been just TOO hot.
I must say that I went up a size as it is really fine material that is close fitting. You either know what I am alluding to or you don't have the problem

Thanks, everyone! For those of you who have worn the Jaggad jersey, how much did you size up? I'm a medium in everything because my arms are long. Would a large be too huge? I've read that looser clothes are better for sun protection.
Did anyone buy that Shebeest jersey from Sierra Trading Post yet? I have a short sleeve Shebeest Microwic UV+ jersey that I bought from STP and I really like it. If I was sure the fabric was the same, I would definitely buy the L/S one, too.
BTW, TE is supposed to be getting some lightweight l/s jerseys in March. I haven't yet heard what UPF they are, though.
