UV STANDARD 801

Made for water & sun

Versatile in use: for yoga and pilates, running in the sun, stand-up paddling and swimming, hiking in the mountains or as a UV protection layer at the beach. High UV protection, quick drying and salt-water resistance aren't premium extras here — they're standard features of every UVEEKAI women's UV legging.

More about UV STANDARD 801

Good to know

The fabric

The fabric of the women's UV leggings is a tightly woven UV-Tech 231 double jersey made of 74% polyamide and 26% elastane — engineered for high UV protection together with breathability and full stretch. 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 not only when dry, but also across multiple washes, in salt and chlorinated water and under normal wear — exactly as the UV STANDARD 801 test protocol requires.

Details & fit

The fit is a regular cut that sits close to the body — designed so the leggings won't slip during yoga, running or stand-up paddling. Flatlock seams and an elastic waistband keep full freedom of movement without pinching. The fabric dries quickly and stays in shape even during intense activity.

Care

All models are machine washable at 30 °C on a gentle cycle and keep their UPF protection permanently. Shipped from Germany with DHL within 1-3 working days, free returns within 30 days.

Frequently asked questions

What does UPF 80 mean for leggings?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, the UV protection factor for textiles. UPF 80 is the highest of the certification levels in UV STANDARD 801 (UPF 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 80) (Source: uvstandard801.com), certified by the Hohenstein Institute. Mathematically, only about one eightieth of the sunburn-effective UV radiation passes through the fabric – tested stretched, wet and after multiple washes too.

Does the UV protection hold when stretched?

Yes. The UV-Tech 231 fabric is tested to UV STANDARD 801 — and that protocol explicitly tests the UPF performance stretched and wet. This matters especially for leggings, where the fabric is stretched during wear.

Which size should I choose for UV leggings?

The women's UV leggings have a regular cut and sit close to the body — they follow usual leggings sizing. A detailed size chart is available on each product page.
