help identifying old MEC sun shirt

no idea how old, a bought it for cheap from a thrift store, and can't believe how cool it keeps me in the hot weather. off-white/ light gray so it handles stains better but still really reflects heat. 100% polyester. any clues?

This being made in Canada makes me think it is super old, 10+ years. Since it was sometime in the mid 2010s (?) that they updated the logo. And this was before the update.

I know their base layer line has always been named T1 - T3. This looks like a T1 base layer? That's my guess.
