Rob...try Bass Pro Shops.  I picked one up there a few weeks ago in white.

They fit kind of loose, and they don't shrink after washing, so order whatever size you would wear in "dressy" type shirt, not a t-shirt.  Normally, I get a Large cotton t-shirt, but in a "regular" shirt, I get a Medium.  A Medium in this shirt fit just right...loose enough, but not too loose.  I'm 5'8" and about 180lbs...yea, I'm a fat f*#%

HA HA! Thanks Terry. I was just in the one in Miami last Saturday. Guess I'll just order online since the closest one to me is in Orlando.

   Judi loves to cook, and is really good at it.  Unfortunately, that is not always a good thing for me, so I have to keep her from fixing stuff that goes straight to my belly...in terms of inches.  I seem to have leveled off at this weight the past several years.  Guess I'll have to wait until I get really old to get as skinny as I used to be.

I wear Columbia or North Face fishing/ hiking pants.  You can purchase them at Dicks, Scheels, Cabelas etc. They are made of a very thin material and have zip off legs.  Some have velcro at the bottom so you can snug them down to keep them from riding up your legs.  Not much protection if you go down but are comfortable to ride in when it's hot and keep your legs covered.

I wore one of the UV shirts today made by Solumbra. the one with the vents from your arn pit down your arm I liked it alot and no burn and it wicked away the sweat. while we were moving it was pretty cool

We were at Bass Pro Shops yesterday and it seems like all the sporting good chains have UV shirts now. It looks like polyester is making a big comeback with its wicking properties. They were sold out of the hydration vests though.  Doc

X2      Not going to make a fashion statement in one of them but it's the closest thing to not wearing a shirt and still having maximum protection.  The vents arm pit to wrist are what puts these shirts over the top.

They're $49 at Cycle Gear.

Thanks JC, Terry has a Harley model and I was looking to see if there is anything out there that's better. I'm surprised that Harley doesn't have a line of UV shirts yet. All they have are the mesh jackets for over the hydration vests and I'm thinkin the shirts would work better by slowing down the evaporation. Columbia makes some of their UV shirts with a loose fit for over the vest.  Momma is happy, so...

I saw a employee at the local dealer wearing a new UV Harley shirt w/ the vents yesterday.  Looked nice and he said it was very cool riding in to work on his scooter.  Must be a new item.  spyder

Not sure what brand mine is......I'll check when I get home tonight.  But it has pockets which were great for filling with ice when Terrie, me, Ernie, Jon and Andy were all riding Hwy. 50 across Utah and Nevada in 113F temps.   Went into the Gatorade barrel and dunked the cool vest then filled the pockets with ice.  I swear they were still completly dry twenty minutes later but at least it allowed us to keep moving on to the next stop.

My wife wore some stretchy work out pants yesterday thinking they would be cooler than jeans. They were but the pipes melted the a hole in the right leg.

Sorry for the delay.  Actually the one you want is the HeatGear TNP LongSleeve.  The whites I got have grey logos on the front breast, and that site on Bass Pro shows black, which are the lower versions I think?

Also, yes they do run very large, so if you take an XL, get a Large and it'll be perfect.
