Women’s Long-Sleeve Hooded UV Shirt – Red

WOMEN’S HOODED UV SHIRT — SIGNAL COLOUR RED

The Women’s Long-Sleeve Hooded UV Shirt in red is a women’s UPF shirt with UPF 80, tested and certified to UV STANDARD 801 (Hohenstein test number 24.1.10.0433-80-1). 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. Red brings visibility into play: on the water and out in nature, a not-to-be-underestimated safety factor.

The hood: protection where sunscreen often misses

Constructed in multiple panels, the hood sits close to the head even in wind and doesn’t slip. The roomy interior offers ample volume for long hair. 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, and on board a SUP or kayak it replaces a flapping baseball cap.

Areas of use

Swimming and ocean swimming: As a women’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 women’s swim shirt at the sea — the signal colour also keeps the wearer visible in currents or open bays.

Beach and pool: Also a deliberate choice as a beach top or by the pool: anyone out with family is easier to find again, and the UV swim top adds a warm accent to bright sandy beaches. With the hood up, the women’s swim shirt becomes a portable shade alternative — no cap that flies away.

Stand-up paddling, kayaking, sailing: On the water, UV radiation intensifies through reflection. As women’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. Red is the classic safety and visibility colour — a plus when someone is watching from shore or from an escort boat.

Hiking and outdoor: The women’s hooded UV shirt for hiking is the choice for high-summer tours in open country — alpine pastures, coastal paths, desert hikes. As a women’s long-sleeve performance top in a safety signal colour, the wearer gains a fixed protection that doesn’t shift and is more visible to companions in difficult terrain.

Athletes and outdoor enthusiasts: Triathletes, mountain bikers, mountaineers, sailors — anyone who can’t or doesn’t want to avoid intense UV exposure. The women’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 sun protection is a reliable companion.

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 women’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 close women’s cut follows the female silhouette without restricting. 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 L, size chart in the Sizes tab. Raglan sleeves don’t shift when you raise your arms — important when paddling, climbing or snorkelling.

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. Red stays colour-stable for many washes under these conditions. Do not iron. A short rinse in fresh water immediately after saltwater or chlorine contact significantly extends the lifespan of the UV-Tech fabric.
