UV STANDARD 801
Made for water & sun
The fit is a regular cut that sits close to the body. Ideal for stand-up paddling, swimming and snorkelling, for hiking and trail running, for sailing or simply for long hours in the sun — as a light UV layer over or instead of sunscreen.
The fabric of the men's UV long-sleeve shirts is a chlorine- and saltwater-resistant UV-Tech 168 made of 82% polyester and 18% elastane — light, breathable and with high UV protection. Certified to UV STANDARD 801 by the Hohenstein Institute (NB 0555) and classified as EU PPE Category I under Regulation 2016/425. The UPF rating holds when dry, wet and across multiple washes — exactly as the UV STANDARD 801 test protocol requires.
Details & fit
Thoughtful details for real sun protection: raglan sleeves with thumbholes for seamless coverage of the backs of the hands, a raised back collar and an extended back hem protect the spots where sunscreen quickly disappears. Flatlock seams and a coverstitch hem ensure chafe-free comfort, and a YKK zip pocket keeps essentials secure.
Care
Machine washable at 30 °C on a gentle cycle, the UPF protection lasts permanently. Shipped from Germany with DHL within 1-3 working days, free returns within 30 days.
Frequently asked questions
What's the benefit of a UV long-sleeve shirt over sunscreen?
A UV long-sleeve shirt with UPF 80 protects continuously and doesn't need reapplying — especially on arms, shoulders and neck, where cream is quickly washed off or forgotten. The protection to UV STANDARD 801 holds even when wet and after many washes. Uncovered skin such as face and hands still needs sunscreen (Source: German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS)).
Does the UV protection work while swimming?
Yes. The UV-Tech 168 fabric is chlorine- and saltwater-resistant and is tested wet to UV STANDARD 801 — so the UPF protection works in the water too.
Which size should I choose for a long-sleeve shirt?
The men's UV long-sleeve shirts have a regular cut and sit close to the body. They follow usual sizing; a detailed size chart is available on each product page.
Are the long-sleeve shirts OEKO-TEX® certified?
Yes. These articles are certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 (certificate 26.HDE.40385, Hohenstein). You can verify the certificate's validity with the Label Check at oeko-tex.com.
