Women's short-sleeved UV-protective T-shirt - Emily black

This basic with a loose fit is a must-have to protect you from the sun thanks to its UPF50+. Its knot in the back adds a designer touch.

How to choose your anti-UV t-shirt? (Part 1)

All our UV protection t-shirts are UPF50+, meaning they offer the maximum level of sun protection. The choice will therefore be based on the sleeve length and will then depend on the type of stresses during the practice. Surfing is where the constraints are greatest, so we decided to build our range primarily for surfing. For surfing, the choice will be made according to the duration of your sessions: 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours.

1 hour: Occasional use. You can choose between a loose fit (priority given to ease of donning and dry comfort) or a fitted cut (priority given to wet comfort). A buckle system to connect to the shorts provides stability. 2 hours: Regular use. Wet comfort is enhanced thanks to the seamless panels under the arms and the drawstring, which further increases stability. 3 hours: Intensive use. Added thermal insulation to last longer in the water.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF is a sun protection index (Ultra Violet Protection Factor) standardized and standardized worldwide. It defines the level of textile protection and more precisely the proportion of UV transmission. In order to meet the standards, it must block at least 95% of UV rays. UPF 50+ means that the textile blocks at least 95% of UVA and 98% of UVB.

Protects against UV rays even when wet

The textile that makes up this OLAIAN anti-UV product blocks at least 98% of UVB and 95% of UVA (UPF 50+). This is the guarantee of effective protection against the sun. It can be used in and out of the water for water and aquatic sports. UV filtration is generated by the density of the textile fibers, this protection is resistant over time, even after washing. Be careful, the elastane contained in the fiber can deteriorate in chlorinated water.

Multi-water sports anti-UV t-shirt

Our UV tops are designed to meet the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports such as swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, active sea walking (longe-coast) or SUP (stand-up paddle ).

Behavior in the sun

Although this t-shirt provides protection from the sun, phenomena such as reflection (on water, sand...), heat, time of day, etc. must be taken into account. Wearing this t-shirt does not exempt you from following appropriate behavior: wearing sunglasses, wearing a hat or cap, regularly applying suitable sunscreen, drinking regularly, etc.

Held in the wave

This anti-UV t-shirt has a knot at the back which helps it stay in place during surfing sessions in light conditions.

MATERIAL

Based in Hendaye, in the south west of France, our offices are “right on the water”! We can design a swimsuit in one day, then test it directly at sea to check how it holds up in the waves.

A garment which, even when wet, acts as a barrier against UV rays and prevents friction against the surfboard.
