Couple in UVEEKAI UV hoodies on the beach

Collection

Women Hoodies

Women’s UV hoodies also protect your head, ears and neck — with a hood that stays put even in the wind. UVEEKAI hooded long-sleeve shirts with a tested UPF 80 are certified to UV STANDARD 801: measured wet and stretched, the way clothing is actually worn.

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, on the bike, on hikes, in the garden — or wherever a sun hat gets in the way or would blow off.

More about UV STANDARD 801

Good to know

The fabric

The fabric of the women's UV hoodies is a chlorine- and saltwater-resistant UV-Tech 168 made of 82% polyester and 18% elastane — light, breathable and quick-drying. Certified to UV STANDARD 801 by the Hohenstein Institute (NB 0555) and classified as EU PPE Category I under Regulation 2016/425. The protection comes from the densely constructed fabric alone and holds when dry, wet and across many washes.

Details & fit

The highlight is the multi-panel hood, ergonomically designed for women with extra room for long hair: it sits close to the head, stays put in wind and can be pulled up over mouth and chin — protecting exactly the spots sunscreen forgets first. Add raglan sleeves with thumbholes for seamless coverage of the backs of the hands, chafe-free flatlock seams and a YKK zip pocket.

Care

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

Frequently asked questions

Does the hood replace a sun hat?

Not entirely. The multi-panel hood sits close to the head, stays put in wind and covers head, ears and neck with the same tested UPF 80 as the shirt; its lower part can also be pulled up over mouth and chin. It does not shade the face, though. Headgear should also protect the ears and neck and shade the eyes (Source: German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS)) – so combine the hood with a peaked cap or sunglasses and put sunscreen on your face.

Why does the hood fit so close to the head?

That is deliberate: only a close-fitting hood protects reliably in wind and motion — a loose hood slips and lets sun reach ears and neck. After a short adjustment period, most wearers find the fit reassuringly secure.

What makes UPF 80 different from UPF 50+?

The numbers come from different test methods and cannot be compared directly. Under AS/NZS 4399 and EN 13758-1, UPF is measured only on dry, unstretched fabric in new condition; UV STANDARD 801 also measures wet, stretched and washed fabric and declares only the lowest value (Source: German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS)). Our hoodies are certified UPF 80 on that basis.

Are the hoodies 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.
