How to measure

Chest

The measurement we take is from pit to pit. Find a top that fits you well and cross-check its pit to pit measurement against any of our products.

Length

This is a measure from the highest point on the neck seam all the way down to the hem. Find a top that fits you well and cross-check its length against any of our products.

Waist

This is simply the bottom hem from left to right hand side (not the full circumference of the garment, just one side). Find a top that fits you well and cross-check its waist measurement against any of our products.

Long days need long protection.

You know the drill.

Sunscreen sweats off. Then you're exposed.

Sunscreen comes off when you sweat. Long runs, long rides: you need protection that stays put.

Long sleeves usually overheat you.

Most long-sleeve tops trap heat. You overheat, slow down, suffer.

Your activewear isn't protecting you.

Most UV-protective fabric gets there through a chemical treatment - not the weave itself. That treatment breaks down in the wash. After around 20 washes, the protection you paid for is gone.

Why we built this

Built to keep up with you.

Technical fabric engineered to manage heat, sweat and UV in equal measure. Moisture-wicking and quick-drying so you stay comfortable at pace. Relaxed fit with dropped shoulders - built to move with you, not against you.

This tee solves all three.

UPF 50+ built into the fabric.

Protection that's woven in, not chemically-treated. Blocks 98% of UV rays wash after wash. One less thing to think about when you're heading out the door.

This tee solves all three.

Runs cool, even when you don't.

Moves sweat away from your skin. Dries fast so you stay comfortable during high-intensity activity.

This tee solves all three.

Protection that doesn't wash out.

Dropped shoulders and relaxed cut. Full range of motion without the tight, restrictive feel.

PROTECTION IS BUILT IN.

Protection's 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

92% polyester, 8% elastane. UPF 50+ Fabric: Blocks over 98% of UV radiation for lasting skin protection.

OTHER USEFUL INFO

Cold wash only | Hang to dry | UPF structural not chemical | Built to last, not to replace

FABRIC INFORMATION

92% polyester, 8% elastane

Bought for a holiday to Indian Ocean. Wore today for lengthy kayak tour. Absolutely perfect.

Love the texture of the top. It's already been to the outer Hebrides. Great shirt, ideal for running, cool and loose fitting.

Here's how we're different.

UPF 50+ Long-Sleeve Active Tee	Big brand long-sleeve wicking top
UPF 50+ lab tested and certified Guaranteed to block 98% of UV. We've tested it.	No UV testing or certification Guessing. Hoping. No idea what protection you're getting.
Engineered yarns and weave Technology built into the fabric itself.	Standard fabric construction Just a top. No UV consideration in design.
Skip sunscreen on covered skin Covered = protected. Simpler routine.	Still need SPF under your shirt Your "athletic top" isn't actually protecting you.
Flatlock seams No chafing after hours of movement.	Standard seams that rub Red marks under your arms by lunchtime.

AS FEATURED IN

GOOD TO KNOW.

What is the point of UV protection in clothing and are all long-sleeve shirts UV protective?

UPF refers to the Ultraviolet Protection Factor which is a UV rating system that’s used for fabrics, similar to SPF for cosmetics. It indicates how much UV radiation can penetrate the fabric of the top.

A fabric that’s rated UPF 50+ blocks 98% of the sun's rays, offering very high sun protection. UV protective clothing works by absorbing or reflecting the sun's UV radiation, preventing it from reaching your skin.

Long sleeve shirts with UV protection help shield your skin from harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of skin damage, heat stroke and skin cancer.

Not all long sleeve shirts offer UV protection. It depends on the fabric, yarn, weave and treatment used in the shirt's production.

You can read more about it here.

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.

Are your long-sleeve shirts with UV protection suitable for all outdoor activities including swimming?

Yes, our long sleeve shirts with UV protection are designed for a variety of outdoor activities, from hiking to swimming.

If you’re likely to be sweating or are particularly active, our active tops would suit you best. Our rash vest is ideal when in or by water. If you’re just outside in strong sun and want a more casual look, that’s where our casual tops would be best suited to your needs.

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.

Who is LifeJacket for?

We're for anyone who wants to look after their skin and perhaps learn a little more about how to best achieve that. Whether you're a professional athlete, weekend warrior, dog walker, gardener or commuter, the science remains the same. Our products cater for every personal preference and environment, so it's just about finding what works for you.
