Abstract
The shirt-like device disclosed shields the neck, shoulders, back, waist, and arms from rays of sunlight or radiation from the sun which may be harmful and provides for ventilation which makes the shirt-like device more comfortable to wear than an ordinary shirt in situations where it is hot and people ordinarily take off their shirts to be comfortable. The device protects those parts of the body that are likely to receive too much exposure to this radiation when people perform certain activities outdoors for long periods of time. The device fits over the upper body of a person. The sun-shielding part blocks, reflects, and/or impedes the rays of sunlight or radiation and covers those parts of the neck, shoulders, back, waist, and arms which receive the most exposure to sunlight when a person is engaged in activities which cause them to lean slightly forward or have their upper body horizontal. The sun-shielding portion is connected to a ventilated portion to form a complete shirt. The ventilated portion is designed to provide ventilation for the part of the body not covered by the sun-shield. The ventilated portion can be a system of bands, strings, strips, fish net material, or some other system for providing significant ventilation to the parts of the upper body not covered by the sun-shield.
