Is this the right UPF shirt for me?
You're looking for the perfect every day high UV-blocking UPF shirt -- something that can be worn on the patio sipping ice tea, but also a shirt you can wear to the beach. Its classic style and fit can be worn easily with your every day clothing, especially since it looks and feels like a cotton button down shirt (except that this one is actually sun protective!)
The fabric is soft, looks like cotton, and is thin and breathable, but has the high powered ability to block over 98% of UV rays. It is the shirt you take with you on the days you plan to be outside all day under the sun, whether at the beach, on a bike ride, drinks on the porch, running errands or at a picnic.
However, if you're looking for an extra oversized fit for versatility, or just prefer the extra room, we recommend The Maro, UPF 50+ shirt. It has a longer length, wider body and modern cut. You could also size up as desired in this style.
Why use UPF?
UPF clothing shields against harmful UV rays, protecting your skin from sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. Unlike regular fabrics, it is specifically designed to block UV radiation while remaining lightweight and breathable

Care guide
Care guide
At Some Sun® we're all about keeping clothing for as long as possible, which is why we're always looking at care labels and making sure our garments are cleaned in the way that helps them to last.
We'll answer the most important questions about how to care for your sun protection clothing.
How should I launder my Some Sun® sun protection?
Always review the Care Label on the inside of your garment for specific directions. Generally, we recommend using a gentle cycle with cold water. Cold water minimizes fiber stretching and helps preserve the fabric’s UPF properties. Please note UPF properties diminish over time and with use, but caring for your garment helps to maintain it.
- Detergent Choice: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners as they can weaken fibers and decrease UPF effectiveness.
- Drying Techniques: Air drying is best, as it maintains fabric strength and sun protection longer. Alternately, use low-heat gentle tumble drying.
- Ironing or Steaming: Most UPF fabrics are wrinkle-resistant, but if ironing is needed, set the iron to a low temperature. Excessive heat can break down the fibers used in UPF garments.
How long does sun protection clothing last?
Generally speaking, it is a good idea to replace UPF attire every year if worn frequently, or if the garment fabric is thinning or piling. Our attire can be worn for non-UPF uses, which means it can last and be used longer than most UPF clothing.
In summary, it's a good habit to replace sun protective clothing every year to ensure that normal wear and tear has not diminished the sun protection properties of the clothing.
