Men's ultra-light packable windbreaker jacket with a UPF 50+ 100% nylon shell. It weighs around 200 g, folds into its own attached stuff pouch and disappears in a bag until the wind picks up on a summit or the sun gets sharp. Explore our full range of UV jackets.
The shell blocks over 98% of UVA and UVB on the skin it covers, with the protection woven in so a season of washing does not strip it. Sealed seams, an adjustable hood that cinches in gusts and elastic cuffs and hem seal out wind, and the fabric dries quickly after a shower. Regular cut with room for a light layer. Machine wash cold on gentle, hang dry, do not iron the coated shell. See also our UV clothing.
The jacket you forget you are carrying until the moment you need it: forearms and the back of the neck covered on a long day out, wind cut like a wall. 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.
WHAT THE SUN IS DOING
Wind and sun, one light shell
On an exposed ridge the wind is the thing you feel and the sun is the one you do not. The UPF 50+ shell cuts both, and it does it without the weight or heat of a real coat.
WHAT THE SUN IS DOING
It only protects if you carry it
The point of a packable shell is that it folds down small enough that you actually bring it. Sun on the way out, a shower on the way back, both handled from the side pocket of your pack.
WHAT THE SUN IS DOING
Blocks over 98% of UV, holds in the wash
The rating lives in the fabric, so a summer of trips and washes does not thin it out. Water beads and runs off, and the sun stays off your arms the whole time.
