Your cotton tee isn't protecting you.

Here's what most people don't know.

Sunscreen on skin isn't for everyone.

A standard cotton t-shirt offers about SPF 5. UV passes straight through.

Many white cotton tees are the equivalent of only SPF 5.

Most UPF clothing looks and feels technical. Fine for sport, awkward for everyday.

Most skin damage happens when you're not paying attention.

Sunscreen is great for exposed skin. But wouldn't it be easier if your clothes just did the job?

Why we built this

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.

What if I'm not in when it's delivered?

The majority of our products fit through the average letter box. In the event your order doesn't, Royal Mail will leave a card letting you know they tried to deliver and what the next step is (either your order was left in a safe place or it has been returned to your local sorting office where it can either be collected, or a redelivery booked).

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.

    Comfortable T shirt

    Feels like a quality product. Just a nice t shirt.

    I’m a 42 chest 32 waist and the large fits me pretty well.

    Liked it so much I bought a second one.

    Casual Tee success!

    A great buy, this Tee shirt is a really good fit and very cool & comfortable to wear, it washes well at 30 and needs no ironing. Ready to wear straight from the washing line! It also good to know I’m protected from the rays!
