An inside look at technologically advanced fabrics and designs that offer superior sun defense for any activity.

Tired of sticky sunscreen? There’s a better way. A way to stay out in the sun, doing what you love, without constantly worrying about that next application of lotion. You just need the right gear, built from the ground up to shield you from the elements. This isn’t about hiding from the sun. It’s about facing it with confidence, knowing your skin has the best defense possible.

But it’s not just about blocking rays. What good is protection if it’s stiff, heavy, or makes you overheat? The real game-changer is apparel that feels like it’s barely there while providing a certified wall of defense. Clothing that moves with you, breathes when you sweat, and keeps you comfortable from the first cast to the last mile. This is about finding freedom outdoors, with gear that’s as resilient and ready for adventure as you are.

Born in the Sun, Built for the World

Before we get into the specifics, let’s talk about what makes this kind of gear possible. Born in Australia, one of the places with the highest UV levels on the planet, the Solbari brand understands sun protection on a deep level. It’s not an afterthought; it’s the entire point. They’ve spent years researching and developing fabrics that are not only rated at the highest possible UPF 50+ but are also tested to maintain that rating through dozens of washes and hours of sun exposure. This dedication means every piece is engineered for world-class protection, right down to the thread.

Your Go-To Gear for Sun-Drenched Days

1. Long Sleeve T-Shirt UPF 50+ Active Collection

Consider this your building block. Your daily protector. It is not any long-sleeve tee but an immensely multi-tasking piece of clothing meant to be in motion all the time and super comfortable. The designers were aimed at producing something light and breathable, and you can wear it during a casual walk, a hard hike, or a run without the feeling that you are loaded or that you are clammy. It is the forget-you-are-wearing-it kind of shirt.

The key is in the high-tech fabric of the Active Collection. It also helps actively draw sweat away form your skin which is a tremendous benefit on warm days, and it is anti-odor so it will help you feel fresh. But the largest victory? The built-in protection is certified UPF 50+ and reliable since it will never wash out or wear thin. It is so easy, so clever, an everyday solution in sun protection.

Features & Benefits:
