Here's why sunscreen alone isn't enough on a beach day.

Sunscreen was designed for the beach. The beach involves water, sweat, towels, and kids who won't sit still. Every time you get out of the sea, protection is already gone.

One swim and it's gone.

Sunscreen starts breaking down the moment you enter the water. By the time you're back on your towel, protection on covered areas has already dropped significantly. Most people don't notice until it's too late.

Reapplication never happens.

On a real beach day: kids running, paddling, ice creams, rockpools. Stopping to reapply every two hours on everyone just doesn't happen. The gaps in protection add up across a long day in full sun.

Treated UPF washes out.

Lots of 'UV protective' clothing uses a chemical coating applied over the fabric. After enough washes and swims, that coating degrades. You're wearing something that used to offer protection. Now it doesn't.

Built for days that don't stop at the waterline.

UPF 50+ protection woven into every thread. No reapplication. No worry. Just more time doing the good stuff.

Blocks 98% of UV rays, wash after wash, swim after swim.
Moisture-wicking fabric keeps you cool even on the hottest beach days.
UPF built into the weave, not a coating. It never washes out.

"Bought two active tees. 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."

"Going to get another as this has been my go-to top for a three week holiday in Portugal, Spain and France. Worn it cycling, walking around cities and to the beach...even on my paddle board."

How we're different.

UPF 50+ Active Tee	Big brand wicking tee
UPF 50+ lab tested and certified Available in XS/S/M/L/XL/XXL	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 t-shirt. 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.

"Really felt like it had the UPF protection that was promised and provided a coolness that helped in the hot sun. Also loved the colour."

FABRIC INFORMATION

90% polyester, 10% spandex

Built from personal experience.

When several close friends, including Jono, were diagnosed with cancer in their thirties, it changed everything. LifeJacket was born to make everyday skin protection simple, reliable and part of normal life.

GOOD TO KNOW.

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.
