How to choose your UV protection t-shirt (Part 1)

All of our UV-resistant t-shirts are UPF50+, i.e. they have the maximum level of sun protection. The choice between them will therefore be made based on the length of the sleeves and will depend on what it will be used for. The constraints are greatest for surfing so we decided to build our range primarily for surfing.For surfing, the choice will be made according to the duration of your sessions 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours.,
