Training in sunscreen is miserable.

We've been there too.

Sunscreen on skin isn't for everyone.

Sunscreen comes off when you sweat. During intense training, you need protection that stays put.

Sunscreen sweats off mid-workout.

Standard technical tees trap heat. You overheat, performance drops.

Moisture-wicking doesn't mean UV-blocking.

Chemically-treated UPF washes out. After 20 washes, you're back to minimal protection.

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. UPF 50+ built into the fabric. Moisture-wicking. Quick-dry. Tested in extreme conditions.

What this means for you

UPF 50+ built into the fabric.

Protection woven in, not chemically added. Blocks 98% of UV rays wash after wash.

What this means for you

Moisture-wicking and quick-dry.

Moves sweat away from your skin. Dries fast so you stay comfortable.

What this means for you

Tested in extreme conditions.

Used by athletes and weekend warriors. Built for performance, not just the gym.

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

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.

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.

    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.
