All our UV-resistant T-shirts are UPF 50+, meaning they offer maximum sun protection.   They have varying sleeve lengths and are suitable for different water sports, but this particular model is primarily designed for surfing.

Choose your T-shirt based on the duration of your surf session: 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours.

How to choose a UV protection T-shirt Part 1

1 hour: Occasional practice. Choose between a loose fit (easy to put on, comfortable when dry) and a tight fit (comfortable when wet). A loop allows you to fasten your shirt to your shorts.
2 hours: Regular practice. The drawstring and seamless underarm panels improve fit and comfort when wet.
3 hours: Intensive practice. Extra warm so you can stay in the water longer.

How to choose a UV protection T-shirt (Part 2: )

This rash guard is made of fabric that blocks at least 98% of UVB rays and 95% of UVA rays (UPF 50+), guaranteeing effective protection from the sun. Ideal for water sports, it can be worn in or out of the water. The density of the textile fibres filters out UV rays for long-lasting protection, even after washing. Chlorine-resistant.

UV protection even when wet.

UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) is an international standard that measures.  the proportion of UV rays a fabric lets through to your skin.  A UPF of 50+ means that the fabric blocks at least 98% of UVB rays and 95% of UVA rays.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

This rash guard reduces chafing against your surfboard or bodyboard. Its loose fit makes it easier to put on and more comfortable when dry. Choose the fitted 100 or 500 model if you prefer comfort when wet or plan to wear it under a wetsuit. Shown to reduce chafing during 1-hour sessions. If you plan to surf for more than one hour, our 500 UV rash guard with seamless underarm panels is a better choice.

This rash guard has a front loop that attaches to the cord of your swim shorts to keep it from riding up while you surf. Ideal for sessions of up to one hour. For longer sessions, we recommend our UV 500 rash guard, which also has a drawstring at the hips to keep it in place. A rash guard can cause irritation on the lower abdomen if it rides up.

Support and stability in waves

This T-shirt is recommended for use in water temperatures of 22°C and up. Air temperature may affect this recommendation.Our thermal models are made of either fleece, neoprene, or both. We recommend thermal leggings in conditions where the wind exceeds 15 km/h.

Warmth and wind

Our UV T-shirts meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. They’re compatible with many other water sports, including swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, and stand-up paddle boarding.

Suitable for multiple water sports

UV-protection tops are great, but they don’t offer total sun protection. Consider other factors like reflections (off water, sand, etc.), temperature, and time of day. Wearing this T-shirt is just one part of staying safe in the sun. You should also wear sunglasses and a hat or cap, apply sunscreen regularly, and drink plenty of water.
