Men's lightweight UPF 50+ hooded sun shirt in a featherlight 100% polyester knit. It weighs almost nothing on and still shades you from shoulder to fingertip: the attached hood covers the head and nape, the thumbhole cuffs extend over the hands. Explore our full range of UV clothing.
The fabric blocks over 98% of UVA and UVB on the skin it covers, with the protection built into the fibre so washing does not strip it out and it works the same soaked in sweat or bone dry. A thin, breathable weave keeps air moving on hot days and the polyester sheds sweat fast. Regular fit, true to size; the light fabric drapes, so size up for a relaxed feel. Machine wash cold, hang dry. See also our long sleeve shirts.
For the days when the heat is the problem before the sun is: full cover on the arms and neck without a layer that holds warmth in. Packs down small for a bag or a back pocket. Browse the complete UV Max collection.

WHAT THE SUN IS DOING
The damage does not show up today
UV does not sting the way heat does, so you never feel it working. It stacks up quietly, one afternoon at a time, and turns up on your skin in your forties as spots and rough patches a doctor wants to look at. A cotton tee leaves your forearms and the back of your neck open to every hour of it. This shirt closes that gap.
THE FABRIC
Protection woven in, not washed out
UPF 50+ rates the fabric, not a lotion you have to remember to reapply. The weave lets through less than a fiftieth of the ultraviolet that hits it, so over 98% of UVA and UVB stops at the surface. It is built into the yarn as the shirt is knitted, so nothing sits on top to sweat off or rinse away in salt water. The shirt blocks the same at four in the afternoon as it did at sunrise.
ALL-DAY COMFORT
Light enough to forget you have it on
The knit stretches in four directions and springs back, so it follows your shoulder through a cast or a swing instead of pulling against it. Flatlock seams lie flat and skip the rub on a long day. The polyester pulls sweat off your skin and dries in minutes, so it never turns into a wet rag stuck to your back.
ONE SHIRT, EVERY WEEKEND
From the boat to the trail to the yard
Men wear this fishing at dawn, on the course by noon, and out in the garden all afternoon. Thin enough for real heat, covered enough that the sun leaves your mind. One shirt that retires the sunscreen, the burn, and the heavy long-sleeve you used to soak through by lunch.
