Anti UV surf t-shirt top 100 women's short sleeves

We designed this UV-protective t-shirt for the beginner surfer who surfs the whitewater.

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.

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 water sports. UV filtration is generated by the density of the textile fibers, this protection lasts over time, even after washing. Be careful, the elastane present in textiles can deteriorate in chlorinated water.

Short attachment loop

This anti-UV top has a loop at the front to pass the cord of the swim shorts to prevent the top from riding up during practice. This solution is recommended for sessions up to 1 hour. Beyond an hour, we recommend choosing the UV 500 top which also has a drawstring at the hips to ensure better stability. The untimely rise of the top could indeed generate irritation in the lower abdomen.

Anti-irritation

This anti-UV t-shirt limits friction and irritation associated with contact with the surfboard or bodyboard. It can also be used under a wetsuit to limit irritation, especially in the neck and armpits. The limitation of irritation linked to rowing movements is validated for one-hour sessions. If you plan to surf for more than an hour, the choice of the UV 500 top will be more suitable thanks to the seamless panels under the arms.

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.

Multi-water sports anti-UV t-shirt

Our UV tops are designed to meet the needs of even the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them suitable for other water sports such as swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, active sea walking (shore walking), and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).

How to choose your anti-UV t-shirt? (Part 2: Depending on session length)

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.

Based in Hendaye, in the southwest of France, OLAIAN is Decathlon's new surf and bodyboard brand. In our offices “feet in the water” we can design a swimsuit or a surfing suit in one day, then test them directly at sea to check how well they hold up in the waves.

A NOTE TO COMPARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF PRODUCTS

The environmental impacts of the product are calculated over its entire life cycle and with different indicators. An overall ABCDE score is created to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with each other (T-shirts, pants, backpacks, etc.).
