Men’s Long-Sleeve Hooded UV Shirt – Black

MEN’S HOODED UV SHIRT — ALL-ROUND PROTECTION IN BLACK

The Men’s Long-Sleeve Hooded UV Shirt in black is a UV shirt for men with UPF 80, tested and certified to UV STANDARD 801 (Hohenstein test number 24.1.10.0431-80-1). The anatomically shaped hood protects the back of the head, neck and — via the stretch cuff at the lower hem — optionally also mouth and chin. The chlorine- and saltwater-resistant UV-Tech 168 fabric (82 % polyester, 18 % elastane) fits close to the body without restricting. Black makes the men’s hooded UV shirt a timeless companion for water sports, outdoor and travel.

The hood: protection where sunscreen is missed

Constructed in multiple panels, the hood sits close to the head even in wind and doesn’t slip. The lower stretch cuff can be pulled over mouth and chin — protecting lips, chin and the lower cheek area where sun cream quickly disappears with sweat or drinking. In the shade of the hood the head stays noticeably cooler than under a hat or cap. As a UV hoodie for men or a sun shirt with hood, mens UV protection extends to head, neck and shoulders. On board a SUP or kayak it replaces a flapping baseball cap.

Areas of use

Swimming and ocean swimming: As a men’s swim shirt with extra back-of-head protection, the hooded model is ideal for snorkelling, when the head looks downward for hours and the neck is fully exposed to the sun. Suitable as a swim shirt for men at the sea.

Beach and pool: Also a thoughtful choice as a UV swim top by the beach or the pool when sitting under direct midday sun is unavoidable. With the hood up, the men’s hooded UV shirt becomes a portable shade alternative — no cap that flies away, no scarf that constantly needs adjusting.

Stand-up paddling, kayaking, sailing: On the water, UV radiation intensifies through reflection. As men’s UV protection clothing with hood, the long-sleeve top protects exactly those hot spots even water-sport pros forget: ears, neck, scalp along the parting. Ideal men’s long-sleeve performance top for long sessions on board.

Hiking and outdoor: The men’s hooded UV shirt for hiking is the choice for high-summer tours in open country — alpine pastures, coastal paths, desert hikes. Anyone who doesn’t like wearing a hat or has trouble keeping a hat on in the wind gains, with the hood, a fixed protection that doesn’t shift.

Athletes and outdoor enthusiasts: Triathletes, mountain bikers, mountaineers, sailors — anyone who can’t or doesn’t want to avoid intense UV exposure. The men’s hooded UV shirt provides a lasting layer for fabric-covered body parts and supplements sun cream on face, hands and exposed skin. In water, in sand, on the mountain — wherever intense UV radiation occurs, textile UV shirts and sun protection clothing are reliable companions.

Maximum coverage for extended sun exposure: Anyone seeking textile sun protection with particularly high coverage — for outdoor sport, on travel or in a working day with extended sun exposure — finds in the men’s hooded UV shirt the most fully covering solution. Hood plus thumbholes reliably cover the back of the head, neck, throat and back of hands — exactly the spots where sun cream is often forgotten or fails through sweat and water.

Cut and fit

The athletic men’s cut follows the male silhouette and gives the shoulders freedom of movement. The hood is anatomically shaped and sits close to the head even in wind. Anyone preferring a looser fit picks one size up. Size range XS to XL, size chart in the Sizes tab. Raglan sleeves don’t shift when you raise your arms.

Care

Machine wash at 30 °C on gentle cycle, inside out and with the zipper closed. Do not use fabric softener. No bleach, no dry cleaning. Do not iron. A short rinse in fresh water immediately after saltwater or chlorine contact significantly extends the lifespan of the UV-Tech fabric.
