Vincent Gael 5/5

I've purchased from Solbari for years and I have never had a problem with the quality of the clothing. I like the way this company stands behind its products. The swimwear has always lasted for years and is comfortable to wear. The shirts are good quality, but the sizing is not that accurate in my opinion. I am 6'3" 225 lbs, and the large shirts are just a bit tight. Nevertheless, I wear the shirts all the time and they are comfortable. I have received a lot of compliments on it from coworkers. I don't like to wear anything other than my Solbari’s Business Shirt UPF50 to the office.
