Men's UPF 50+ Polo Shirts

Classic polo styling with built-in sun protection. Solbari’s collection of men's polo shirts includes long- and short-sleeve styles designed for golf, travel, outdoor work, and everyday wear. The range features the Long Sleeve Polo UPF 50+ in both Active and Sensitive Collection fabrics, and the Short Sleeve Polo UPF 50+ in lightweight sun protective fabric.

Every polo in the collection is independently tested and certified UPF 50+, blocking at least 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. By comparison, a standard white cotton polo may only offer about UPF 5, equivalent to wearing SPF5 sunscreen and allowing roughly 20% of UV radiation to reach the skin. Solbari polos provide significantly greater protection while maintaining the look and feel of a classic polo shirt.

Made to meet golf course dress codes, each men's polo shirt features a collared neckline and button placket, while Active Collection fabrics add moisture-wicking performance, four-way stretch, and breathability for long days outdoors. Sensitive Collection styles use a soft cotton-bamboo blend that is gentle on reactive skin and comfortable for travel, walking, golf and everyday wear.

What makes a UPF polo different from a regular polo?

A regular cotton polo is not tested for UV protection and typically offers only around UPF 5, allowing approximately 20% of UV radiation to reach the skin. By contrast, every Solbari UPF polo shirt is independently tested and certified UPF 50+, blocking at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays.

The protection comes from the fabric construction itself, not a chemical treatment or coating, so it remains effective through regular washing and long-term wear. For men who spend time outdoors, a UV polo shirt is one of the simplest wardrobe upgrades available. It looks like a classic polo, works across golf, travel, and everyday wear, and provides significantly more sun protection without requiring any change to your wardrobe.

The collar also adds practical coverage for the back and sides of the neck, areas that are often overlooked during outdoor activity.

Long sleeve or short sleeve: choosing your polo

The best polo for you depends largely on how much time you spend outdoors. Long sleeve styles provide additional coverage for the arms and wrists, making them ideal for golf, driving, travel, and extended outdoor activity. The Active Collection Long Sleeve Polo offers moisture-wicking performance and four-way stretch, while the Sensitive Collection Long Sleeve Polo uses a soft cotton-bamboo blend for everyday comfort.

Solbari short sleeve polos work well in warmer conditions or during lighter outdoor activities. They still provide UPF 50+ certified protection across the torso and collar area while offering a cooler feel.

All men's polo shirts in the collection meet golf dress code requirements and are made for comfort on and off the course.
