Technical information
Protects against UV rays even when wet.
The textile that makes up this OLAIAN anti-UV product blocks at least 98% of UVB and 95% of UVA (UPF 50+). This is the guarantee of effective protection against the sun. It can be used in and out of the water for water and aquatic sports. UV filtration is generated by the density of the textile fibers, this protection is durable over time, even after washing. Be careful, the elastane contained in the fiber can deteriorate in chlorinated water.

What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF is a sun protection index (Ultra Violet Protection Factor) standardized and regulated worldwide. It defines the level of protection of the textile and more precisely the proportion of UV transmission. In order to meet the standards, it must block at least 95% of UV rays. UPF 50+ means that the textile blocks at least 95% of UVA and 98% of UVB rays.

Limiting irritations
These leggings help limit friction with the board, especially at the knees when lying on the board and on the inside of the thighs when sitting on the board. We have confirmed that irritation is limited during 1-hour sessions.

Support and stability in the waves
The shaping waistband allows the leggings to stay in position even if you fall into the waves. The cord at the front of the waistband is designed to connect an anti-UV t-shirt and prevent it from riding up. We recommend using a top 500 anti-UV t-shirt (available in short sleeves, long sleeves and with a hood) in addition to these leggings to be well protected.

Thermality and wind
The minimum water temperature recommended for using these anti-UV leggings is 22 C. The air temperature can influence this recommendation upwards or downwards. Our thermal models (beyond 2 hours) are made of fleece and neoprene. The presence of wind will have an impact that can be annoying as soon as the wind exceeds 15 km/h: In this case, choose a model with neoprene.

Multi-water sports anti-UV leggings
Our anti-UV leggings are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding surfers. Our design choices also make them compatible with other water sports such as swimming, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing, active sea walking (longe-côte) or SUP (stand-up paddle).

Behavior in the face of the sun
Although these leggings provide protection from the sun, phenomena such as reflection (on water, sand, etc.), heat, time of day, etc. must be taken into account. Wearing these leggings does not exempt you from following appropriate behaviors: wearing an anti-UV t-shirt, wearing sunglasses, wearing a hat or cap, regularly applying suitable sunscreen, drinking regularly, etc.
