Why UV Protection Matters
The sun is essential — but too much exposure can cause skin damage. Our UPF-rated fabrics are engineered to reduce penetration of harmful UVA and UVB rays while remaining breathable and lightweight. These pieces also offer moisture-wicking and shape retention so they perform on the beach, at the trailhead, or during an all-day outdoor event.

How UV Apparel Works
UV protection garments combine tighter knit structures, specialized fiber blends, and performance finishes that reflect or absorb sunlight. Many items also include quick-dry and odor-control technology for active use. Ideal for runners, surfers, gardeners, festival-goers, travelers, and outdoor professionals who need reliable sun coverage.
