UPF 50+ Long-Sleeve Collared Top

WHAT IS IT?
A mid weight, everyday, long-sleeve, quarter zip top with inbuilt UPF 50+ protection

WHY’S IT FOR YOU?
Comfortable, lightweight and incredibly soft cotton-feel top that’s as stylish as it is effective. Throw it on with a pair of jeans or shorts. This is your staple quarter zip top 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
Long sleeves and zipped collar to protect and cover more skin
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
79% polyester, 14% Tencel, 7% spandex

OUR STORY

We created LifeJacket after seeing several close, male friends experience cancer at a young age. Almost two men die of skin cancer for every one woman and it’s our vision to stop the increase in male skin cancer by inspiring men to take better care of their skin every day.

A HAPPIER YOU

Taking better care isn’t just about preventing skin cancer though. Your skin is under attack every day - all year round - from harsh weather, central heating, pollution, smoke and stress to UV. We believe year-round protected skin is healthy skin and healthy skin is a happier you.

GOOD COMPANY

Developed with industry experts, our products are used by everyday folk (like us), professional athletes, Olympians and our team of epic brand ambassadors. Make LifeJacket an everyday essential for your long-term skin health.

AS SEEN IN

Recognised for our commitment to skin cancer prevention, our work with charity partner, Melanoma UK, and our educational campaign, more and more people are noticing what we’re up to. This is long-term project but it’s always good to know we’re making waves.

    Love these tops. Good coverage and comfortable. Reassures me when not wearing sun screen that I am still protected from the sun. I’d love a full zip version with pockets and a hooded version please.

  11. John –

    Probably my biggest negative was trying to read the information on the containers. The writing was very small and the colours used did not help me>

  12. Colin –

    I got the sky blue medium long-sleeved tee. It came quickly, fits perfectly, feels soft and has good long sleeves to help protect my hands if I want. It doesn’t look like a hi tech fabric so easy to wear all the time. Good value to compared with my other one from a competitor.

  13. Ian –

    Great to find a long sleeve top with collar, prevented my neck from burning on long open top car journeys

  14. Nigel –

    I was looking for another rash vest, one with a zipped collar, then this popped in my inbox, having being a regular user of the moisturiser and sun gel, perfect, just what I was looking for and by a brand I already love and trust.

  15. Mark –

    Not cheap but decent vale for money. A quality product

  16. Stuart –

    Superb products, superb customer service.

  17. Ian –

    Very comfortable to wear , great fit and product

  18. Scott –

    Great mission with super products and a real personal feel to the shopping experience. Support the team, do good and look after yourself. What’s not to like?!

  19. Michael m –

    great top, finally not a top that is skin tight. I’m 5’10 and around 12.5st and the large is perfect. good quality and smart top

  20. Daniel Smith –

    I’ve a history of skin cancers within the men of my family, predominantly because most of our careers have meant we’ve been working outdoors, as such I’ve started to become a lot more conscious of protecting my skin. I ordered this to tray and add that extra level of protection for whenever I’m out and about. The top is comfy, fits great (I’m 5’11” and about 83kg and wear a M) and what I really like about it is how casual it looks whilst still allowing me to feel smart. A great light weight top that gives me some added protection, very happy with the product and the customer service yet again.

  21. William –

    You always have to do better!

  22. Chris Skelhorn –

    Having suffered from skin damage for years due to my obsession with sailing, this product range is a ‘gift from the gods’ – the clothing is really soft and cool and the gels just work. Well done guys!!!

  23. Andy –

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

  24. Iain –

    Good product good company ethos

  25. Melanie –

    Excellent products, fast and efficient delivery and great customer service . The personal touch with the samples and the note gave me a sense of what a great company Life Jacket is and whilst the products are slightly more expensive, their quality speaks volumes for the justification.

  26. Jonathan –

    Good quality products, prompt delivery.

  27. Steve Lyne –

    For someone that has had many BCC, SCC & melanomas removed, I know I must have skin protection all year round. These shirts can be worn open or with full neck protection by good zip design and collar detail. Full length sleeves complete a well fitted shirt with a very soft feel that I thought so good I bought a second.

  28. Paul –

    Quality products, creams / gels absorb well into the skin with no greasy residue. Active wear, quality fabric and comfortable to wear and exercise in with the added reassurance of having a high upf. Great to have a range aimed at men with the increasing figures of melanoma within males.

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.
