Parrot women's long-sleeved anti-UV surf top 500 t-shirt

We designed this anti-UV t-shirt for the experienced surfer who surfs waves less than a meter.

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.

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.

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 lasts over time, even after washing. Be careful, the elastane contained in the fiber can deteriorate in chlorinated 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.

YOU ARE AN EXPERIENCED SURFER

You practice surfing regularly. During your sessions, you row to the line up, pass the bar by duck if you are on a shortboard or turtle, on a longboard then surf waves of less than one meter. You fall often and are used to being tossed about underwater. Your swimsuit must meet the requirements of your practice and stay in place with each of your movements. We have designed for you a range adapted to your regular practice and your morphology.

System of support and hold in the wave

This OLAIAN anti-UV top has two drawstrings at the hips with the ability to connect the sides of the top to the bikini bottom to generate better stability in the waves. A loop at the bottom of the top also allows you to connect it to the shorts.

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.

OLAIAN, DECATHLON'S SURF BRAND

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.
