Women's Face & Neck Protection UPF 50+

Targeted coverage where it matters most. Solbari’s range offers face and neck sun protection without relying on sunscreen alone. The collection includes the Curved Face & Neck Gaiter, a tube-style design that covers the neck, chin, and lower face, and the Sun Protective Face Mask and Balaclava, which extends coverage across the face, neck, and upper chest.

Both styles are lightweight, breathable, and stay in place during activity, with flatlock stitching to reduce chafing. Available in CoolaSun and Sensitive fabrics, they suit both active use and delicate skin.

All styles are independently tested and certified to UPF 50+, blocking at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays.

For additional coverage, pair with flap-neck sun hats or learn more about UPF 50+ protection.

Gaiter or face mask: choosing the right style

The Curved Face & Neck Gaiter is a fitted, tube-style design that sits comfortably around the neck and can be pulled up to cover the chin and lower face. Its curved shape follows the natural contours of the face without bunching. Available in both Sensitive and CoolaSun fabrics, it suits a range of needs, from gentle wear on reactive skin to lightweight, cooling performance during activity. It’s a versatile option for hiking, cycling, gardening, beach days, and outdoor sports, and pairs easily with UPF 50+ arm sleeves for women.

The Sun Protective Face Mask offers more coverage, extending across the face, chin, neck, and upper chest. Made from Sensitive Collection fabric, it’s suitable for women with highly sun-sensitive skin who want maximum protection across the most exposed areas.

For active, everyday use, the gaiter provides flexibility and breathability. For sensitive skin, the face mask offers a more comprehensive solution.

Protecting the areas sunscreen can't reliably reach

Sun protection for the face is difficult to maintain with sunscreen alone. It wears off with perspiration and contact, and is often applied too lightly on the neck and jaw. UPF 50+ fabric provides coverage without the need for reapplication. The neck, décolletage, and lower face are also areas where UV damage and pigmentation can appear over time.

Solbari’s fabrics are lightweight, breathable, and soft, with flatlock seams to reduce friction. UPF protection is built into the fibers, so it remains effective.
