DRSKIN shirt

These are the loosest things on the site, and the only shelf where the smaller size is usually the right one: a training tee is cut to hang rather than hold, and a body between two letters is better off in the closer of the two. Most of the cards here carry a UPF number, and it is worth knowing exactly what that number covers. UPF 50 lets a fiftieth of the ultraviolet through the cloth it covers, while the cloth is dry; a fabric that has been stretched or soaked lets more through and turns more transparent, and the Skin Cancer Foundation puts a wet white T-shirt at about a third of its dry rating. It says nothing at all about the arms, the neck and the face the sleeve does not reach.

Questions about DRSKIN short-sleeve tops

Why the sizing advice reverses on this shelf, what the UPF number on a tee covers, and how a tee works over a compression layer.

Do DRSKIN training tees fit loose or close on you?

Loose. These are the only tops on the site cut to hang rather than hold, which is why the sizing advice reverses here: between two letters, the smaller one usually sits better, and a body used to the compression cuts will find the same letter roomier in a tee.

What does the UPF number on a DRSKIN tee cover?

The skin under the cloth, while the cloth is dry. UPF 50 means a fiftieth of the ultraviolet gets through the fabric it covers; the Skin Cancer Foundation notes that a stretched or wet fabric lets more through and turns more transparent. It says nothing about your arms below the sleeve, your neck or your face, and the dermatologists still want sunscreen on all of those.

Can you wear a DRSKIN training tee over a compression top?

That is the pairing most people here end up with: the compression layer holds and moves the sweat, the tee covers and shades. Worn that way the tee wants to be loose, so it is another argument for not sizing it down further than the chart says.
