DH has the Solumbra cycling jersey - KnottedYet is correct - it is made out of their woven material and is not fitted. DH sweats like crazy and this jersey has no wicking properties whatsoever. He was soaked after his ride. No sunburn after two hours though, so the sun-protective part works. Also, the jersey "flaps in the wind" as it is not at all fitted. Not worth the expense, IMO.
Check out Boure. I LOVE their long-sleeve SPF 50 jersey! I am 5'2" and weigh under 100 pounds. I got the x-small and it fits just right, however not much room to grow and I'm trying to gain a few. www.boure.com
I just picked up one of REI's SPF 50 lightweight MTS long-sleeve zip-t's (http://www.rei.com/product/705491?vcat=REI_SEARCH). I'm going to try wearing it under a non-spf short-sleeve jersey and see how that works. It may be too warm wearing two layers, but I'd love it if it works. That way I could transform any of my short-sleeve or sleeveless tops into SPF 50 wear by laying the long-sleeve underneath!
