How to choose your UV protection shirt (Part 1)
All our UV resistant shirts are UPF50+, meaning they have the maximum level of sun protection.The choice between them will be based on sleeve length and will depend on their intended use.Constraints are greater 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.
UV protection even when wet.
The fabric of this OLAIAN anti-UV product blocks at least 98% of UVB radiation and 95% of UVA (UPF 50+).This guarantees effective sun protection.It can be used both in and out of the water, for water or marine sports.The density of the textile fibers filters UV rays, for long-lasting protection over time, even after washing.
Protect the little ones!
New skin is very sensitive to the sun as children's protective systems are formed after the age of 3.With the same exposure, the sun's effects are 2 to 3 times stronger on a child than on an adult.Therefore, it is important to protect them effectively.
UV protection shirt for multiple water sports
Our UV shirts are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers.Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports such as swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, sea walking or SUP (stand-up paddleboarding).
Behavior in the sun
Even though this shirt offers sun protection, phenomena such as reflections (from water, sand, etc.), heat, time of day, etc., must be taken into account.Wearing this shirt does not exempt the wearer from adopting appropriate behavior: wear sunglasses, wear a hat or cap, regularly apply suitable sunscreen, drink regularly, etc.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF is a sun protection factor (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) and is standardized worldwide.It defines the level of protection of a fabric and more precisely the percentage of UV rays it allows to pass 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 UVA and 98% of UVB rays.

Support system
This UV protection shirt has a loop at the front to tie the drawstring of swimming shorts so that the top does not ride up while surfing.This solution is recommended for sessions up to 1 hour.For more than an hour, we recommend choosing UV top 500, which also has a tie at the hip for better stability.The unwanted riding up of the top can cause irritation on the lower abdomen.
Heat and wind
The minimum water temperature recommended for using this UV protection shirt is 22°C.Air temperature can increase or decrease this recommendation.Our thermal models (over 2 hours) are made of fleece, neoprene, or both.The presence of wind can have an unpleasant impact once the wind exceeds 15 km/h: In this case, choose a neoprene model.
