Hi all, I’m planning to take a short sleeve top and a long sleeve top with me on my Portuguese Camino this may/june.
I’ve already got my merino tshirt and I love it. Now looking for a long sleeve top.
Everyone seems to recommend merino, but long sleeve merino tops seem to be marketed as being for cool weather, rather as a sun smart option. For example, I like this one from zorali but unsure if it will do what I need it to.
Would a merino long sleeve top still keep me cool and protected from the sun?
Or should I go for a more SunSmart option like this one from Solbari which is polyester.
Or should I go with more of a traditional hiking button up shirt like this Kathmandu one made from recycled polyester?
Keen to hear what’s worked best for you.
