Choosing your anti-uv top for surfing
Anti-UV T-shirts are designed to protect you against the sun's rays. Some anti-UV T-shirts and tops are available in thermal and neoprene versions to reduce that cold feeling when you stay in the water for a long time.
All our anti-UV clothes are UPF 50+ to guarantee the best possible protection against the sun. Even when they are wet, they filter out more than 95% of UV rays. The tighter the fit, the less you will be irritated by your movements when paddling and by friction with the board. Anti-UV tops are also available in thermal versions (fleece interior) and neoprene versions to reduce that cold feeling.
1) Anti-uv tops and water t-shirts
Sun protection
The UPF 50+ protection index means that your anti-UV T-shirt stops at least 95% of UVA rays and 98% of UVB rays, in keeping with the standard EN-13758-2.
Quick-dry
The specific textile and water-repellent treatment allows the water to escape through the mesh, for ultra-fast drying. Consequently, the chill factor due to the wind is reduced significantly.

The loose cut makes for comfort of use when you stay on the beach. Loose water T-shirts are also much easier to slip on, so they are ideal for kids.
Slim fit
Slim-fit anti-UV T-shirts offer greater freedom of movement, which is essential for board sports.
