Men's lightweight waterproof windbreaker in 100% polyester with a waterproof, breathable membrane. The whole jacket runs 210 g, with three zip pockets that lock down a phone and a gel, the rear one big enough for a folded layer, and an adjustable hood for exposed trails. Explore our full range of UV jackets.
The fabric blocks over 98% of UVA and UVB on the skin it covers, and the protection is part of the yarn, so it does not rinse out and works soaked or dry. The membrane keeps rain out while sweat escapes, elastic cuffs and hem seal the edges and the jacket holds its shape wash after wash. Regular active cut, true to size; size up to layer a fleece. Machine wash cold on gentle, hang dry, no dry cleaning. See also our UV clothing.
Late-afternoon ride, pointed straight into low sun with the arms out on the bars for an hour. This shell covers that exposed skin and is light enough to stuff in a jersey or pack. 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.
