Technical information

How to choose your UV protection T-shirt (Part 1)

All of our UV-resistant T-shirts are UPF 50+, i.e. they have the maximum level of sun protection.
The choice between them will therefore be made based on the length of the sleeves and will depend on what it will be used for. The constraints are greatest for surfing 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 UV protection T-shirt (Part 2: According to the duration of the session)

1 hour: Occasional practice. You can choose between a loose fit (priority to ease of dressing and comfort when dry) or a fitted cut (priority to comfort when wet). A loop system to connect it to the shorts ensures the stability of the product.
2 hours: Regular practice. Comfort when wet is enhanced by the seamless panels under the arms and the drawstring which further increases stability.
3 hours: Intensive practice. Additional warmth to help you stay in the water for longer.

Warmth and wind

The minimum water temperature recommended for the use of this UV-protection T-shirt is 22°C if it is worn on its own. Max. session length: 3 hours.
This top is entirely made of neoprene to provide warmth even in windy conditions.
This top can also be worn under a wetsuit.

Neoprene: how does it work?

By trapping a thin layer of water around the body, a wetsuit works in two ways:
1- The trapped water gradually warms up
2- The transfer of heat is reduced
The top and the film of water thus form a layer which provides thermal comfort.

Materials

This Tribord 900 neoprene top is made from 100% neoprene for guaranteed improved comfort during use.
The neoprene is lined with synthetic fabric for added resistance to wear.
Neoprene thickness: 1.5 mm.
The neoprene is made from an elastomer foam with insulating properties.
We test and guarantee the quality of our neoprene materials.

Reduced chafing

This neoprene top helps limit rubbing and chafing due to contact with the surfboard or bodyboard. It can also be used under a wetsuit to limit chafing, particularly around the neck and armpits. We have added seamless panels under the arms to limit irritation due to paddling movements. Our test protocols confirmed that irritation was indeed limited during three-hour sessions.

Support system

The Tribord top has a loop at the navel to attach to boardshorts. This loop secures the top to stop it riding up while you surf and to keep it in place at the back.

Choose the right size

A neoprene top should be a tight fit for the most effective thermal insulation. It is perfectly normal to have the impression it is too tight when trying it on in a fitting room or at home. This discomfort quickly disappears once the top gets wet.

UV protection even when wet

The textile of this TRIBORD UV-protection product blocks at least 98% of UVB radiation and 95% of UVA (UPF 50+). In compliance with the EN-13758-2 standard, it guarantees effective protection from the sun. It can be used both in and out of the water, for water or nautical sports.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF is a sun protection factor (Ultra Violet Protection Factor) and is standardised worldwide. It defines the protection level of a fabric and more precisely the proportion of UV rays it lets through. To meet the standards, it must block at least 95% of UV rays. UPF 50+ means that the fabric blocks at least 95% of UVB and 98% of UVA rays.

Water sports neoprene top

Our tops are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, sea wading or SUP (stand up paddle boarding).

Behaviour when in the sun

Although this top gives protection from the sun, phenomena such as reflections (from water, sand, etc.), heat, time of day, etc. must be taken into account. Wearing this top does not exempt the wearer from following the relevant advice: wear sunglasses, wear a hat or cap, regularly apply an appropriate sun cream, drink regularly, etc.
