We designed this UV-resistant T-shirt for beginner surfers who surf in foam.
How to choose your UV protection 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 sleeve length and will depend on their intended use. Restrictions 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.
BEGINNER SURFER
You are learning to surf or you surf only a few times a year, during holidays or a surf trip. You stay where you can touch the bottom, in small waves or broken waves. You surf for the pleasure of being in the water and for the feeling you get from it. During your sessions, you often fall, but you fall in waves that are not very powerful. We have created a wide range of products for you, suitable for your occasional activity and your body shape.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF is a sun protection factor (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) and is standardized worldwide. It defines the protection level 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.
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, even after washing. Chlorine resistant.
How to choose your UV protection T-shirt (Part 2: According to session duration)
1 hour: Occasional practice. You can choose loose cuts (ease and comfort when dry) or tight cuts (comfort when wet). A loop system to attach it to shorts ensures the stability of the product. 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. Additional warmth to help you stay in the water longer.
Behavior when in the sun
Although 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 a suitable sunscreen, regularly drink beverages, etc.
UV protection 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).
