I was excited on Noah's behalf to be chosen by The Beach Factory to review a UV swim top - he's eleven you see, and therefore far too cool to be excited by anything...or is he?
First impressions
Fit
Features
Although the protection from the sun feature may be one of the Tshirt's principle selling points, it certainly doesn't restrict its use - Noah is happily wearing it all over the place: rockpooling in the rain; putting a tent up in the garden; walking Eli and getting caught in a thunderstorm; the glorious unpredictability of early summer in the UK!
Over to Noah...
- I like it, it's a good top.
- It doesn't stuck to your body, even if you're running around and you get really hot. Ordinary tops are difficult to take off sometimes if you've got all sweaty, but this one was easy.
- I don't like Tshirts that are just black but this one had cool writing on the front and on the back with other colours on so it looked good.
- It's easy to move about in, so when you're stretching and stuff it doesn't get in the way, and it doesn't feel tight anywhere on me.
- I had it on in the paddling pool and it got soaked but it dried really quick, so I could still wear it later.
- I wear it when it's sunny and when it's rainy too, and it feels nice on my skin.
Final thoughts
Judged 'cool' and much beloved by my pre-teen - not an easy feat.
Dries unbelievably fast, on a child or on the line, which is always going to be a big plus!
Comfortable, suitable for any dry activity as well as a multitude of wet ones.
Provides a level of peace of mind when out in the sun, and saves on time and money on suncream.
Definitely worth having in your parenting arsenal this summer, and this Quiksilver Tshirt as well as other (equally snazzy) designs available from here. Delivery is free if your order comes to £30, and there's swimsuits, googles, sun hats, picnic blankets and plenty of other sunshine essentials from which to take your pick. Word to the wise, check out their beach bags - important to have a bag big enough to put the towels and drinks and books and sunscreen in after all...

It is definitely a cool t-shirt. And it impressed a "tween" (is that what they're called?) - that's an impressive feat! Thanks for sharing on #britmumsreviews
