Whether you’re biking through the streets of Tokyo or hiking along forest trails a short drive from home, the right clothes can make a big difference in comfort when you’re taking on active (read: sweaty) outdoor pursuits in warm weather.

Columbia’s Solar Chill Long Sleeve Shirt offers one solution for staying cool and protecting your skin against harmful UVA and UVB rays. The shirt features the brand’s Omni Shade™ Sun Deflector, a smart fabric designed to do exactly what its name suggests and reflect the sun’s rays. The shirt offers UPF 50 sun protection and helps to keep you cool by bouncing the sun away from your body. The fabric is soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, so it feels light and moves easily with your body when you’re working up a serious sweat.
