Training in sunscreen is miserable.

We've been there too.

Sunscreen on skin isn't for everyone.

Sensitive skin, eczema, or just personal preference. The sticky, greasy feeling for hours. Some people hate it. Physical coverage means no cream required. Plus you need to re-apply. But mid-hike, mid-ride, mid-session — you forget, you skip it, you miss spots. By the end of the day, you've burnt.

Sunscreen sweats off mid-workout.

You can't stop to reapply. By the end of your session, it's in your eyes or on your kit. You're exposed for the hardest part.

Moisture-wicking doesn't mean UV-blocking.

Technical fabric keeps you dry but lets UV straight through. Being dry doesn't mean being protected. Unless it's UPF rated, it's not protecting you.

Why we built this

Train hard without stopping to reapply.

Training in strong sun usually means stopping to apply sunscreen. And sunscreen comes off when you sweat. This tee solves both problems. UPF 50+ built into the fabric. Moisture-wicking so it doesn't cling. Quick-dry so you stay comfortable. Tested in extreme conditions by hundreds of athletes and weekend warriors.

What this means for you

Train without reapplying.

UPF 50+ built into the fabric. Moisture-wicking so it doesn't cling. Quick-dry so you stay comfortable. Protection that lasts the whole session.

What this means for you

UPF 50+ that won't wash out.

Protection is woven into the fabric, not sprayed on. It doesn't fade wash after wash. 98% of UV blocked for the life of the garment.

What this means for you

Moisture-wicking and quick-dry.

Pulls sweat away from skin. Dries fast so you stay comfortable. Doesn't cling when you're working hard.

PROTECTION IS BUILT IN.

Protection is built in. Our UPF 50+ fabrics block 98% of UV through structure, not chemicals. The weave does the work—so protection doesn't wash out, wear off, or fade over time.

WHAT'S IN IT AND WHY

UPF 50+ Fabric (72% polyester, 16% elastane, 12% rayon) — Optimised for athletic performance. Blocks 98% of UV. Moisture-Wicking — Pulls sweat away. Dries quickly. Athletic Fit — Cut for movement.

OTHER USEFUL INFO

Machine wash 30°C | Hang to dry | UPF structural not chemical | Available S/M/L/XL

FABRIC INFORMATION

72% polyester, 16% elastane, 12% rayon

Comfortable and good sizing. Felt protected in the very strong Caribbean sunshine. Worked well with additional Lifejacket sunscreen.

Chris H - Caribbean tested

Bought 2 active tees white and blue for a trip to the Canary Islands. Great for by the pool or beach and smart enough to wear into a restaurant.

Stuart A - Canary Islands tested

A tighter fit than the casual tee so ordered a large in the active but medium in the casual. Nice fit and will be my go to for holiday sport wear.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Is this clothing chemically treated to offer UPF protection?

No. All of our clothing offers the UPF50+ protection it does due to the natural properties of the fabrics we use. This means you can wear and wash it over and over again, safe in the knowledge it will continue to keep your skin protected and you comfortable.

When will I get my order?

We try to get every order out the same day up until 4pm during the week. From then, please allow 2-3 business days for your order to arrive.

Who will be delivering my order and is there tracking?

We use a tracked service for nearly all of our deliveries. You will get an email from us when your order has been despatched which will include the tracking details.

How do your sizes compare to other brands?

We would say our sizing comes up true. This is a more relaxed fit than our other items and is oversized with a dropped shoulder. That shouldn't change the size you order and we would recommend ordering your usual size. If in any doubt check out the size guide towards the top of the page or give us a shout.

Can I return the product if I don't like it?

We’re happy to exchange or refund any clothing you're not 100% happy with. Just make sure it’s unworn and in perfect condition. To start a return, head to Returns and exchange and follow the instructions.

Where do you ship?

We ship to the UK and Channel Islands using a Royal Mail tracked service.

Great t shirt
Bought 2 active tees white and blue for a trip to the Canary Islands. I’m not a fan of suntan cream and sometimes when your on You’re own it’s difficult to do your back. I’m 5ft 7 & 10 stone and I purchased small the fit was great and they were so comfy to wear to the point you felt like you were not wearing a top great for by the pool or beach and smart enough to wear into a restaurant Great product. Been looking at the long sleeve ones but just need more selection of colours.

Fantastic shirt good quality soft and perfect fit. The only thing that let it down was the delivery. I don’t know why companies use the post office they are absolutely rubbish for delivering.
