This anti-UV T-shirt is designed to protect children from the sun while surfing and bodyboarding. Beginner level. Water over 22°C.
Reduced chafing
This UV-protective T-shirt reduces friction with the surfboard or bodyboard. The loose fit of the T-shirt makes it easier to put on and is more comfortable when dry. Choose the tight fit of the 100 or 500 T-shirt if you prefer comfort when wet or wear it under a wetsuit. Chafing limitation has been proven for 1-hour sessions. For surfing over 1 hour, the 500 UV T-shirt is more suitable thanks to seamless panels under the armpits.
How to choose your UV protective T-shirt (Part 1)
All our UV-resistant T-shirts 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 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 textile fibers filters UV rays, for long-lasting protection, even after washing.
UV protective T-shirt for multiple water sports
Our UV T-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 when in the sun
Even though this T-shirt offers sun protection, phenomena such as reflections (from water, sand, etc.), heat, time of day, etc., must be taken into account. Wearing this T-shirt does not exempt the wearer from adopting appropriate behavior: Wear sunglasses, wear a hat or cap, regularly apply appropriate 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 rays and 98% of UVB rays.
How to choose your UV protective T-shirt (Part 2: According to session duration)
1 hour: Occasional practice. You can choose a loose cut for dry comfort or a tight cut for comfort when wet. A loop system to connect it to your shorts ensures the product's stability. 2 hours: Regular practice. Comfort when wet is increased by seamless panels under the arms and a drawstring which further increases stability. 3 hours: Intensive practice. Extra warmth to help you stay in the water longer.
Support system
This UV-protective T-shirt has a loop at the front to tie the cord of your swim shorts so that the top doesn't ride up while you surf. This solution is recommended for sessions up to 1 hour. For more than an hour, we recommend choosing the UV top 500, which also has a tie at the hip for better stability. The unwanted rising of the top can cause irritation on the lower abdomen.
Heat and wind
The minimum water temperature recommended for the use of this UV-protective T-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.
