Altitude Performance Tee

Best pickleball sun shirt

I needed a Sun shirt for Pickleball. Seems like most companies are making Sun shirts, geared at hikers and runners. I tested three Sun shirts. The outdoor vitals, Sun shirt, the ketl Sun hoodie and the outdoor research echo Sun hoodie. I think they’re all really great and they all use very similar fabric, which feels extremely lightweight and pretty much cooler than anything that isn’t short sleeves. But the outdoor vitals is better than the other two specifically for court sports because of the arm design. Those other two shirts have a looser cuff with a thumb holes. Where as the outdoor vitals shirt just has a normal cuff and it’s a nice snug fit. It’s not tight but it’s also not loose so the main difference is that you don’t feel like you have this piece of fabric sliding down towards your paddle hand when the shirt starts to fill up with sweat. Now I just wish that outdoor vitals would make a sun hoodie with at least one button, which is what I like so much about the ketl Sun hoodie — I have the three button version and it’s really nice to be able to use as many buttons as you want to kind of open up that airway when you don’t need to be completely enclosed.

Love my Altitude Hoodie and this shirt is just as great. I use it on days I want some coverage but don't need the coverage. It is super comfortable and barely feels like you are wearing anything.

Great light weight shirt!

This is a super comfortable performance tee! Really light weight. This is my second version, I also have the hoodie version. Great quality as always.
