BALEAF Womens Protection Lightweight Clothing Reviews Summary

Sizing and Fit

Pros:

• "For me the fit is perfect I am 5 foot tall 107 pounds C cup."
• "The fit was perfect and I never expected the fabric to feel so soft and comfortable."
• "I loved the fit. Very comfortable."
• "These shirts fit well and are extremely comfortable!"
• "Fits well, very breathable, and gives very good sun protection at high altitudes."
• "I like the fit and it covers my arms the way I wanted it to. Cool enough to wear on a hot day."
• "I’m 5’3”, petite and worried about the fit especially the sleeve length. It fits perfectly & washed nicely!"

Cons:

• "What aggravates me about this product is that just because a woman orders an extra large does not mean that they have arms the length of a gorilla!"
• "I’m not rating them higher because they are warm and the sizing isn’t consistent."
• "The recommended size was too snug for comfort."
• "I wear a medium in baleaf tops but this style doesn’t fit well at all. Too tight in chest and too much material everywhere else."
• "I ended up getting a 3X to have enough room for the bust, but that makes the shirt far too long and the sleeves are too long and big around."
• "This fit fine in the body, but unless you’re an WNBA player you will probably find the arms to be way too long."
• "I usually wear a medium size but to be safe I ordered a large. And it’s still too tight."

Comfort and Material

Pros:

• "I wore this to the Amazon rainforest and it worked great. Helps with sun while also preventing some mosquito bites."
• "It washes out easily with just soap and water if a small spot does get on it."
• "This is a really nice shirt that looks good on."
• "They launder and dry nicely and look good on."
• "Once home they washed up great! Excellent product and great value!"
• "The material is soft and feels great!"
• "Love this shirt because it’s long sleeve and still very lightly. Also, I can wear this shirt over a swimsuit and it dries very quickly."

Cons:

• "It's so unflattering I don't want to wear it outside of the yard."
• "Sun protection was also average -- needed sunscreen if I worked all day."
• "However within two minutes of putting this thing on I am drenched in my own sweat, sweating from my elbow creases, etc."
• "The material is not the typical stretchy workout shirt material. It is thin and slick like some workout wear is but it has no stretch and it actually feels stiff on your body because of that."
• "Material and fit make it a very hot and uncomfortable shirt to wear. Fabric doesn't stretch and rides up (very slippery)."
• "The material being so thin it hugs you at the most unflattering areas and hangs oddly."
• "The 'upgrade fabric' is much thinner, badly wrinkled, has no shape, and is so thin it probably doesn't have sun protection."

Design and Appearance

Pros:

• "I especially like the curved hem. Very flattering."
• "The color is great- makes my eyes really 'pop', and it dries quickly when I splash water onto myself."
• "The blue color is vibrant and shipping was fast."
• "The blue is a very pretty color, I got the Upgrade Blue shirt."
• "Love the color and the fabric is somewhat breathable though very clingy to hot skin."
• "The color is exactly as I wanted it, and it’s not see through."
• "They are rich in color, and I don't regret at all purchasing them."

Cons:

• "The white gets easily stained with dirt, sweat, etc. that doesn't come out."
• "It also developed a hole near the armpit at the seam. I'm not sure if the stitching or fabric failed."
• "I bought pink because I didnt want a dark color absorbing heat. I liked this shade of pink. I was on a dusty, 3 day hike so got dirty easy and the shirt shows the dirt."
• "Fits well but is in no way red in color. More like a bright pinkish coral."
• "I ordered a red shirt and what I received is not red but pink."
• "The yellow is thin and completely see through and more of a cartoon banana shade than the tasteful camel color shown."
• "It's see-through. I don't understand how this is supposed to protect my skin if I'm going to have to wear an undershirt underneath it just to cover my bra."

Functionality and Protection

Pros:

• "This is my 3rd order. Great shirt for protection from the sun. Also keeps me cool when hot and keeps me warm when temperature drops a little here in Hawaii."
• "I bought one of these for my mother after hearing her talk about sweating in long sleeves but needing to keep the sun off of her arms."
• "I loved this so much that I bought 3 more (I've had skin cancer and am very serious about sun protection)."
• "These shirts are PERFECT. I am working on a roof installing solar panels, and didn’t want to wind up with a farmers tan & wanted to protect my skin and stay cool."
• "Bought this because my dermatologist told me to cover my arms when working in the yard. Thought it would be hot but surprise surprise, I stay cooler in this shirt than in a tee shirt."
• "I have had melanoma twice already and am allergic to sun screen, so I wear these shirts every day."
• "This shirt worked great at keeping me protected from the sun while on a hiking trip."

Cons:

• "I wore this shirt for a 5 mile run (under 1 hour) and this rash occurred."
• "I cannot believe this shirt is labeled as a a summer hiking/wicking shirt."
• "However, the one day so far that I wore it to the lake on a hot day, I felt like I was going to pass out before I even left my house from the heat because this shirt is not breathable at all."
• "I wore a wicking short sleeve tee under this long sleeve in yellow. After 5 hours outside in Washington, I had a clear tanline through the yellow shirt where my undershirt stopped. No UV protection."
• "I purchased based on a recommendation from my skin doctor for running outside... the material is not breathable so I was sweating more than normal."
• "I wear upf shirts everyday. Decided to save some money and get this. MISTAKE!!!! I got burned through the shirt."
• "The fabric did not hold up to normal wear. After the first wear on a bike ride, with deodorant and normal sweat production, the fabric turned a grayish color in the wash that cannot be removed."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "I've been wearing these for a few months now and they are great at preventing sunburn when working around the yard or going on vacation."
• "They’re great at wicking away sweat and sometimes feel cooling as that occurs."
• "I ordered 2 shirts, different colors that I've been wearing and washing for 9 months now. They have held up very well - no shrinkage."
• "I purchased a bunch of shirts 3 years ago and they are still going strong, holding up to washing 2-3x/wk!"
• "I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and craftsmanship."
• "The Baleaf size chart is pretty accurate if you measure yourself correctly."
• "It washed nicely and seems like it will last a long time."
