Why is a UV water shirt better than a normal T-shirt?
Unlike a normal cotton T-shirt, a UV water shirt offers certified and reliable UV protection of UPF 50+. Cotton loses almost all of its protective effect when wet, whereas a UV water shirt retains its function. In addition, our UV clothing is quick-drying, lightweight and breathable, which significantly increases comfort in and around the water and protects you from cooling down.
Does a men's long-sleeved UV shirt offer better protection than a short-sleeved model?
Yes, a men's long-sleeved UV shirt offers more comprehensive protection as it covers the entire length of the arm. This is particularly advantageous during long periods in the sun, such as when surfing, sailing or snorkelling. A short-sleeved UV shirt for men is an excellent choice for shorter water activities on very hot days and protects the particularly vulnerable shoulders, neck and torso. Both versions offer the same high UPF 50+ protection for the covered areas of skin.
Is a water shirt with UV protection comfortable even in hot weather?
Absolutely. A water shirt with UV protection is made from highly developed functional materials that are extremely light and breathable. They prevent heat build-up and quickly wick moisture away from the skin. This ensures a cool and comfortable fit even in high temperatures. The elastic fabric of a men's UV T-shirt also fits perfectly to the body without constricting.
How do I properly care for my UV protective clothing?
Caring for your UV protective clothing is easy. After each use, rinse your men's UV shirt in salt or chlorinated water with clear, cold water. If necessary, wash it in the machine on a low temperature using the gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener or a tumble dryer to preserve the elastic fibres and UV protection. Thanks to the quick-drying material, your water UV shirt will be ready to use again in no time.
Can I only wear a UV protective T-shirt water in the water?
No, a UV protection T-shirt Wasser is a versatile companion. Its high breathability, comfort and stylish design also make it perfect for all other outdoor activities on sunny days. Whether you're playing beach volleyball, hiking, cycling or simply relaxing in a café, you'll always be well protected and look great.
Why are UV swimming shorts a useful addition to UV water clothing?
UV swimming shorts offer targeted protection for the legs and hips – areas of the body that are often exposed to direct sunlight when swimming. Unlike conventional swimming shorts, they retain their protective function even when wet thanks to certified UV protection. The comfortable fit and quick-drying material ensure that you feel comfortable in the water and on land at all times. This makes UV swimming shorts the perfect combination of safety, comfort and freedom of movement for all water sports activities.
What are the advantages of a special UV shirt for snorkelling over normal clothing?
A special UV shirt for snorkelling is essential for protection in the water and offers significant advantages over a normal T-shirt. When you are snorkelling on the surface of the water, the reflection significantly increases UV radiation. Our UV shirts for snorkelling guarantee continuous and reliable UV protection with a certified UPF 50+, blocking over 98% of harmful rays – even when wet. Whether it's a UV shirt for women snorkelling or a UV shirt for men snorkelling, the lightweight and elastic material, often known as a Lycra shirt for snorkelling, dries extremely quickly and prevents you from getting cold. In addition, a snorkelling shirt with UV protection not only protects against sunburn, but also against minor abrasions or contact with jellyfish. A long-sleeved snorkelling shirt offers maximum protection for your arms and back. Whether it's a snorkelling shirt for men or a snorkelling shirt for women, these shirts are the most important UV protective clothing for snorkelling, ensuring a safe and carefree experience.
