UPF 50+ Active Tee

WHAT IS IT?
A moisture-wicking and fast-drying sports tee with inbuilt UPF 50+ protection

WHY’S IT FOR YOU?
Comfortable and lightweight tee designed to work as hard against sweat and strenuous activity as it is against the sun. This is your sweat proof tee with a difference because when outside, you can feel safe knowing you’re protected by the UPF 50+ fabric technology. A standard white cotton tee is the sunscreen equivalent of SPF 5. UV rays can still pass through cotton causing skin damage – for fabrics, the SPF equivalent is known as Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF)

OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF
Slightly longer arm to protect and cover more skin
Doesn’t cling to your skin during exercise
Completely hassle-free alternative to sunscreen
Small embroidered LifeJacket shield logo on back of the neck
Unlike some other UPF products, our fabrics aren’t chemically impregnated so you can be sure the protection lasts over and over, without washing out
Our bespoke and high-tech fabrics have been carefully selected, woven and UPF tested in every colour and model, meeting strict EU standards, and hitting the highest possible UPF 50+ rating
72% polyester, 16% elastane, 12% rayon

SIZING?
Athletic fit. Take the same size you typically take for sports tops. Size guide available on the website product page.

YOU ALSO GET…
7-day unlimited access to the mole-checking app, SkinVision, on every order. Use the app to map, monitor and get instant feedback without leaving the house. Skin checking is just as important as daily skin protection. Upgrade to a 12m license for just £25 (a 50% saving for our customers). All details on our website.

    Comfortable, great colour. Was worried about it being too hot in Spain and Portugal, but this was actually really cool to wear. It became my go to top and relief from the sun

  7. Simon (verified owner) –

    Great value for money. Would like to see a polo type t-shirt so that you can protect back of the neck

  10. Sally Grumbridge (verified owner) –

    A gift for husband who wore it constantly on holiday

  11. Joe Parish –

    Going to get another as this has been my go to top for a 3 week holiday in Portugal, Spain and France. Worn it cycling, walking around cities and to the beach…even on my paddle board

  12. David Brooks (verified owner) –

    Great quality, fit and stylish.

  13. Andrew Taylor –

    It’s cooler that other brands (in terms of the feel against the skin)

  14. Alex lewis (verified owner) –

    Think the t shirt is great, light and look forward to actually putting it to test in some sun.

  15. Simon –

    Absolutely brilliant. Just returned from a sailing holiday in very sunny Croatia without the normal burnt torso. Wore the t shirt all week on and off the water. Washes out and dries really well. Thank you lifejacket , and the wife for finding you.

  16. Sean (verified owner) –

    Super comfy, great fit and love the colour

  17. Gaz (verified owner) –

    Great feel and quality

  18. Mike Richards –

    Lightweight so a great addition to wear under other active clothing

  19. Martin (verified owner) –

    I like the cut and the feel – it’s a nice tee shirt.

  20. Adrian Beck (verified owner) –

    Good fit, feels high quality

  21. Martin (verified owner) –

    nice comfortable shirt. Easy to wash and dry when on a boat

  22. Andrew Fisher (verified owner) –

    Great quality, good fit. Love this company.

  23. Chris (verified owner) –

    The Active UPF Tee is just a quality shirt. I’ve used it for runs, and also just when out and about in the Sun. I’ll be buying more. And the Rash Vest is exactly what I was looking for: Not too tight, with arm and neck coverage. The zip pocket is also useful for keys when out on the water.

  24. Gordon –

    Not only are the products up there with the best, the packaging is great as it can be used for other things (like going camping or a day hike). Also the hand written note makes it a more personal experience

  25. William Paterson (verified owner) –

    This Tee is comfortable and lightweight. I have used active wear with SPF from sports brands, more expensive, and this easily stands up against them. Highly recommend.

  26. Richard (verified owner) –

    The moisturisers feel great…not sticky which is essential in Japan’s hot and humid spring / summer. Also smell great…very subtle but nice and fresh. The sunblocks work much better than any of the sprays / lotions I can buy here. Non-sticky, stay on during exercise but also wash off easily enough with soap and a body towel (essential when trying to follow up exercise in the sun with a soak in a hot spring!)

  27. Richard (verified owner) –

    Genuinely could not be happier with the quality. I live in Singapore, so a cooling sports top is a mainstay. found the perfect one! Very chuffed, highly recommend.

  28. Lee –

    Just FABULOUS creams / lotions. Best ever for me by a long way.

  29. Steve (verified owner) –

    Had a lump removed in late 2018 which the medical people said was linked to the sun.My daughter found you on the tinterwebnet thing: Impressed.

  30. Andy –

    Lightning quick, friendly and helpful response to email enquiry, despite being outside of normal working hours. Really nicely styled, well-made shirts

  31. Sue –

    I bought a weekender pack for my son-in-law’s birthday because he loves the outdoors but has very fair skin. He had not used moisturiser before but wouldn’t be without it now. I also bought him an active T-Shirt which he loves so much he purchased another two himself. – great colours, super fit, perfect for active outdoor wear, and great protection from the sun!

  32. Rob –

    Huge fan of this shirt…
    Buying it for all of the blokes in my family to make Christmas shopping a bit easier!

  33. David Reyes –

    Light weight easy to wash great top perfect for a sunny day

  34. Paul Selby –

    Purchase a casual and active tee and both are good quality and very comfortable.
    Very lightweight and perfect for a sunny day (not that we get that many in Newcastle upon Tyne)

  35. Jonathan –

    Good quality products, prompt delivery.

Skin science

A burning issue for men

Almost twice as many men die from skin cancer compared to women. Male skin cancer cases have exploded over the past 20 years and they’re forecast to double over the next 20 years.

It's chemistry

UVA rays penetrate your skin damaging the proteins that give your skin structure, causing ageing and wrinkling. UVB damages the outer skin causing sunburn. Together they're a cause of cancer.

Putting your jacket on

Real skincare should protect you from both harmful UVA and UVB rays. Rays touch your skin all year long, even in the winter. Apply skin protection all year round and stay healthy.

Used and loved by

We make high performance products people enjoy using. So far, the feedback has been positive…

“I am a pretty active guy and would always rather wear protection than have to apply it. LifeJacket’s range of clothing is that solution. I wear their active t-shirt to the gym because it is wicking, breathable and comfortable and also to play football due to the UPF protection.”

Alex, Birmingham

“Functional, high performance clothing aimed at active and outdoors type men, Exactly what I was looking for. I love the style and colour options, plus the delivery is prompt and the packaging fantastic. Also get a great vibe from the LifeJacket team trying to do something positive.”
