Men's UV Jackets & Sun Hoodies UPF 50+

Complete upper-body protection in a single layer. Solbari’s collection of UV sun jackets and sun hoodies includes the Everlight Jacket UPF 50+, the Summer Essential Jacket UPF 50+, the Summer Essential Hooded Zip Top UPF 50+, and the Long Sleeve Hooded Top UPF 50+. Each style combines lightweight comfort with certified UPF 50+ protection for outdoor activity, travel, driving, and everyday wear.

A UPF 50+ jacket covers the arms, torso, and neck in one garment, making it one of the simplest ways to reduce UV exposure without relying on sunscreen on covered areas. It is particularly useful for driving, where UVA rays can pass through vehicle windows and reach the skin on the arms during long commutes and road trips, as well as outdoor activities.

Every fabric in our UV men’s jacket collection is independently tested and certified UPF 50+, blocking at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays. Features such as breathable fabrics, moisture management, lightweight construction, and practical hooded designs make these jackets comfortable for extended outdoor wear. Solbari’s range is dermatologist-recommended and provides reliable everyday protection.

Complete upper-body coverage in a single layer

A UV jacket provides coverage for much of the upper body in a single layer. Worn over any base layer, it covers the arms, wrists, and torso, while the hood adds extra coverage for the neck and back of the head when needed. For men who spend extended time outdoors, a men's UPF jacket helps simplify sun protection by covering large areas of skin at once.

The Everlight Jacket is the most versatile style in the collection. Its lightweight Lifestyle Collection fabric has a cooling feel, while the water-repellent finish helps handle changing weather conditions. Deep side pockets and a full-length YKK zipper add practicality for travel and outdoor use.

All jacket styles include a hood that complements a sun hat in high-UV conditions. Men’s UV jackets are also useful for driving, helping cover the arms during commutes and road trips when UVA rays can pass through vehicle windows.

Pair your jacket with men's UPF 50+ T-shirts or polos and shirts for complete upper-body coverage.

Technical features built for outdoor performance

Solbari’s UV jackets combine certified UPF 50+ protection with practical features for outdoor comfort. The Everlight Jacket includes a water-repellent finish, odor-resistant fibers, deep storage pockets, and a full-length YKK zipper for adjustable ventilation.

The Active Collection styles, including the Summer Essential Jacket and Long Sleeve Hooded Top, use breathable, moisture-wicking, anti-odor fabrics suited to hiking, travel, and active days outdoors. Their wrinkle-resistant construction also makes them easy to pack.

For men with sensitive skin, the Sensitive Collection Hooded Zip Top offers a softer feel while providing the same UPF 50+ certified protection. Across the entire range, UV protection is built into the fabric structure rather than applied as a coating, helping it remain effective through regular washing and long-term wear.
