Sunscreen is a hassle.

You know the drill.

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.

Most long-sleeve tops trap heat.

Thick fabric, no airflow. You overheat, roll your sleeves up, and defeat the purpose. Or you sweat through it and feel uncomfortable for the rest of your session.

Chemically-treated UPF washes out.

Some UPF clothing is sprayed with UV-blocking chemicals. Wash after wash, the protection in the yarn fades. Eventually you're wearing a normal shirt that just looks technical.

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 (79% polyester, 14% Tencel, 7% spandex) — Cotton-like feel with technical performance. Breathable Construction — Air circulates to prevent overheating. Quarter-Zip Collar — Adjustable neck coverage.

OTHER USEFUL INFO

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

FABRIC INFORMATION

Very comfortable to wear considering the UPF rating, cotton-like in feel. Breathable, unlike some fabrics offering this level of sun protection.

I absolutely love this top. It's soft and although it covers well I stayed cool. I loved it so much I bought it in another colour.

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.

Where do you ship?

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

Great fit and feel
Very comfortable to wear considering the UPF rating, cotton-like in feel. Breathable, unlike some fabrics offering this level of sun protection. Sleeves have been cut a bit longer so keeps my wrists covered during any activity - as I suffer from Eczema I like to keep my wrists covered when the humidity is high. Sizing for the Large is accurate for me. Definitely recommend.

Super soft top - cooling fabric
I absolutely love this top. It’s soft and although it covers well I stayed cool. I loved it so much I bought it in another colour - I love the blue and greenish grey ones.

Wear with confidence
This is my newest purchase to wear outside when uv levels are forecast to be high without the worry of having to apply sunscreen to arms and upper body. It is super comfy to wear and being cotton is good at moisture wicking. Loose to wear and great quality. I would definitely recommend .

Long sleeve top
This is the third top of this type I have bought. I think they are fantastic. The keep the sun of your skin as intended but the material is very light and comfortable to wear. The fabric keeps you cool and seems to let your skin breathe. More light summer colours would be great if that was possible. I will buy again.
