Reduced irritation

How to choose your UV protection top (Part 1)
All our UV resistant tops are UPF50+, meaning they have the maximum level of sun protection.The choice between them will be based on the 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.
Protect the little ones!
Young skin is very sensitive to the sun as children's protective systems develop after the age of 3.With the same exposure, the effects of the sun are 2 to 3 times stronger on a child than on an adult.Therefore, it is important to protect them effectively.
UV protection top for multiple water sports
Our UV 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 swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, sea walking or SUP (stand-up paddleboarding).
Behavior when in the sun
Although this top offers sun protection, phenomena such as reflections (from water, sand, etc.), heat, time of day, etc., should be taken into account.Wearing this top does not exempt the wearer from adopting appropriate behavior: Wear sunglasses, wear a hat or cap, regularly apply suitable sunscreen, drink regularly, etc.
How to choose your UV protection top (Part 2: According to session duration)
The fabric of this UV-resistant product blocks at least 98% of UVB radiation and 95% of UVA radiation (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, even after washing.
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.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 rays and 98% of UVB rays.
