Men's UPF 50+ T-Shirts

The T-shirt is one of the most-worn items in any wardrobe. Solbari’s collection of UPF 50 T-shirts combines everyday comfort with certified sun protection, offering styles for active use, casual wear, and sensitive skin. This range includes Long Sleeve T-Shirts in both the Active and Sensitive Collections. A regular white cotton T-shirt may provide a UPF of as little as 5–7, which is equivalent to wearing SPF 5 or 7 sunscreen, allowing approximately 15–20% of UV radiation to reach the skin. By comparison, every men's UV T-shirt in the Solbari collection is independently tested and certified UPF 50+, blocking at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays.

Each style combines the look and feel of a premium everyday T-shirt with reliable protection for the torso and arms during outdoor activities, weekend projects, travel, and daily life. Solbari T-shirts are dermatologist-recommended, with ultra-soft Sensitive Collection fabrics suited to reactive skin and Active Collection styles built for outdoor movement and exercise.

The everyday UV upgrade: from regular tee to UPF 50+

For many men, a T-shirt is the go-to choice for outdoor activities, gardening, beach days, and everyday errands. Yet a standard white cotton tee typically offers only UPF 5–7, allowing a significant amount of UV radiation to reach the skin. Switching to a men's UPF 50+ T-shirt is one of the simplest ways to improve daily sun protection without changing how you dress.

Long-sleeve styles are best to provide full arm coverage, helping to reduce reliance on sunscreen on covered areas during outdoor activities.

For additional protection, pair your T-shirt with men's UPF 50+ arm sleeves and hand covers or explore men's sun hats.

Choosing your T-shirt: Active or Sensitive, long or short sleeve

The right men's UV T-shirt depends on how and where you spend time outdoors. The Active Collection Long Sleeve T-Shirt is a good choice for hiking, walking, sport, and physical activity, with moisture-wicking, anti-odor, four-way stretch fabric that stays comfortable throughout the day.

For everyday wear, travel, and sensitive skin, the Sensitive Collection Long Sleeve T-Shirt features a soft blend of 51% viscose from bamboo, 40% cotton, and 9% spandex.

Solbari FAQs

A UPF T-shirt is made from fabric independently tested and certified for UV protection using the Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating system. Solbari's UPF 50+ T-shirts provide the highest available clothing rating, blocking at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays.

A standard white cotton T-shirt typically offers only UPF 5–7, meaning around 15–20% of UV radiation can pass through the fabric and reach the skin. This is significantly less protection than a UPF 50+ T-shirt, which blocks at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays.

The Active Collection uses moisture-wicking, anti-odor, four-way stretch fabric for outdoor activity and sport. The Sensitive Collection uses a soft bamboo-cotton blend that is gentle on reactive skin and comfortable for everyday wear.  Both are certified UPF 50+.

Yes. UPF protection in every men's UV T-shirt is built into the fabric structure rather than applied as a coating, so it remains effective through regular washing and extended wear.
