According to the American Academy of Dermatology, 1 in 5 Americans will get skin cancer at least once in their life. The Triple Crown Button Down is filled with thoughtful features that were developed over many miles of thru-hiking and thinking that other shirts were almost perfect, but needed a few additions.

Our top three favorite shirts with thumbholes from MuskOx Flannels 1 When the fabric is stretched, it can widen the space between the knits and let more UV light penetrate.

For many outdoor enthusiasts it is function. The obvious advantage of "thumb holes" or thumbholes on men's clothing , like performance pullovers, sweatshirts and quarter zips, is keeping your sleeves firmly in place. I think we can all recall days in our youth of having half your sleeve crammed into your armpit as you mom or dad shoved you into your winter coat before rushing out the door. What is known is that UV exposure is a major risk factor for melanoma in People of Color. Dr. Alexis writes that additionally, UV radiation can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation (spots of extra pigmentation). Additionally, the shirts we tested have been tested on dozens of day hikes and overnight trips in Southern California, Colorado's high country, and eastern Oregon over many months. Our testers wore sun shirts while cycling and mountain biking in the Pacific Northwest. One of the failings of other sun shirts is that sleeves will slip, exposing your hands, but the River Run has elastic wrist cuffs and thumb loops that are well-placed to pull over the top of your hands. In addition, the sleeve and torso length provides ample coverage without being too relaxed.Commenters and other articles refute Gizmodo's claim saying it's based on a study on birds, not humans. After thru-hiking nearly 15,000 miles with almost no sun protection, I interviewed a University of Arizona sun cancer expert for a story on sun hats that I wrote for the New York Times/Wirecutter. Although that story was about hats, what I learned about the sun scared some sense into me; I've been wearing sun protective clothing (and looking for the perfect one!) ever since. Treeline writer Felicia Hermosillo spent a summer wearing this UPF shirt on a thru-hike of the Southern Sierra High Route and while climbing all of Colorado's 14ers (14,000-foot peaks). At altitude, sun protection is essential. We also wish this shirt had thumb loops or thumb holes to cover the top of your hands, as was offered in the still discontinued Patagonia Tropic Comfort. The two models are almost identical except for those features.

Thumbholes are an incredible way to keep your sleeves in place when you're wearing your favorite athletic shirt. Thumboles are great when wearing a baselayer and you're keen on preventing bunching in the sleeves. They provide a great alternative to gloves if you're looking for hand protection while keeping cool. We also love thumbholes for skiing because your wrists are unexposed from snow and harsh conditions. Why do athletic shirts have thumbholes?

Ridge Merino is a small and relatively new company, but the Solstice Hoodie has made splashes in Adventure Journal. At Treeline Review, we keep our eyes out for new brands with ideas that could change the market — and merino sun shirts are one of them. The Mountain Hardwear Crater Hoodie's secret sauce is in the fabric: It has 55 UPF protection fabric. It has the thinnest fabric we tested for this story. Of all the sun shirts we tested, it is the one that feels the least hot (aside from those literally made with cooling fabric).

One of the things we liked the most about the Crater Lake is the value for the price. There are less expensive sun shirts out there, like the Baleaf that is our Best Budget winner. But the UV protective fabric on the Crater Lake is much thinner and more breathable. Unlike the Patagonia Cool Lite Hoodie, the hood stays in place.Because the hood is designed to fit nicely over a helmet, our tester Brandon has added the Astroman to his cool weather bicycling costume, replacing his trusty Patagonia Houdini. The Astroman is stretchier, more form-fitting, and quieter in the wind.

It has a relaxed fit that won’t have you confusing it for a base layer and still looks good on various body shapes. The Cool Daily is also treated with a Polygiene anti-odor technology called HeiQ® Fresh Durable Odor Control, which seemed to work even after a week of continuous use. The fabric is 50% recycled, bluesign certified for environmentally-friendly dying, and sewn in a Fair Trade factory. We get this question a lot. It really depends on your definition of work. Unfortunately, there is no failsafe way to prevent getting skin cancer. But wearing a sun shirt when recreating outdoors reduces UV radiation, which can lead to skin cancer.Regardless of your skin’s level of melanization, the sun can damage the skin. Frequent and prolonged exposure to the sun — like that experienced by folks during outdoor activities — is the chief cause of skin cancer. While lighter-skinned people are more likely to sunburn than darker-skinned people (and sunburns are risk factors for skin cancer), skin cancer can happen in people of all skin tones. While all types of skin cancer are less common in People of Color, their outcomes are dramatically worse, writes Dr. Andrew Alexis for SkinCancer.org. It is true that melanin naturally provides some level of protection. But science has notoriously left People of Color out of health studies—so there’s still a lot unknown about skin cancer in People of Color. Thumbholes add a small amount of length to your sleeves. Sometimes noticeable, and sometimes not. Comfort and a full range of motion is important, so we recommend choosing athletic shirts that uses performance fabrics making the shirt stretchy and breathable. According to this story by the Cleveland Clinic, UPF protection clothing lasts 2 to 3 years. However, the expert they interview makes it sound like that's a typical lifespan for any shirt. I typically hold onto shirts for a lot longer than 2 to 3 years — but those numbers depend a lot on the frequency of use and washing. For a fabric to receive The Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation, it must receive a UPF rating of 35 (allowing only 1/35th of the sun's UV rays to come through).
