UV STANDARD 801

Made for water & sun

Once on, the fabric protects continuously — no reapplying, no rub-off from packs, wetsuits or sweat. That is why watersports enthusiasts, cyclists and people who spend a lot of time in the sun rely on textile UV protection as their first layer.

The men's collection

Tested under real conditions

The UVEEKAI men's collection is engineered for days when sunscreen alone doesn't last: on the water, in the mountains, on the bike or out in the sun all day. Every piece is certified to UV STANDARD 801 by the Hohenstein Institute (NB 0555) — the test standard that measures the fabric wet, stretched and after washing, while the usual UPF 50+ labelling only rates new, dry fabric. The measured value: UPF 80, through the fabric alone.

Four pieces, one system

Choose from long-sleeve shirts with thumbholes and a raised back collar, hoodies with a close-fitting hood including mouth and chin protection, long pants in dense UV-Tech 231 fabric, and swim shorts for the water. All pieces are chlorine- and saltwater-resistant, with chafe-free flatlock seams and YKK zip pockets — a regular, close-to-body fit in XS to XL.

Care & delivery

Machine washable at 30 °C on a gentle cycle. Shipping from Germany with DHL within 1–3 working days, free returns within 30 days.

Frequently asked questions

What does a tested UPF 80 to UV STANDARD 801 mean?

UV STANDARD 801 measures UV protection on wet, stretched and washed fabric too – under conditions like real wear, not only on new, dry fabric (Source: German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS)). The certified UPF 80 means: mathematically, only about one eightieth of the sunburn-effective UV radiation reaches the covered skin, in the water too.

Isn't a normal cotton shirt enough sun protection?

A normal, lightweight cotton shirt usually has no stated UV protection factor, and you cannot tell how well it protects just by looking at it: how much UV radiation a garment blocks depends mainly on fabric type and density – the denser the weave, the better (Source: German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS)). The usual standards EN 13758-1 and AS/NZS 4399 also measure only dry, unstretched fabric in new condition. UV STANDARD 801 measures wet and stretched as well – so our UPF 80 also applies in the water and in motion.

How do I care for UV protective clothing?

Wash at 30 °C on a gentle cycle; do not bleach, do not iron, do not dry-clean and do not tumble dry – air-drying is best. The UPF protection is built into the fabric construction itself and holds across many washes — that is part of the UV STANDARD 801 test.
