SolarShield+ Clothing

SolarShield+ is Craghoppers' highest sun protection: UPF 50+ fabric that blocks 98% of UVA and UVB and is built into the yarn, so it doesn't wash out. Lightweight long and short sleeved tees and half zips for men and women.

What SolarShield+ is. Engineered yarns and a UV-reflective compound work together in a grid-textured jersey that absorbs and reflects UV rays, wet or dry. It's accredited by the British Skin Foundation and wicks moisture away from your skin. Read more about SolarShield and what UPF means.

The range.

Long sleeved tees for the most coverage
Short sleeved tees for the hottest days
Half zips that open at the neck to let heat out

All six also have NosiLife insect repellent and odour control, and weigh between 110 and 192 grams, so they work as a light base layer under a shirt or on their own.

Which one? Pick a long sleeved tee for full days in the sun, on the trail or in the tropics. Pick a short sleeved tee for the hottest days, with sunscreen on your arms. Pick a half zip when the morning starts cool and the day warms up.
