Technical information

How to choose your anti-UV t-shirt? (Part 1)
All our anti-UV t-shirts are UPF50+, which means they have the maximum level of sun protection.
The choice will therefore be made on the length of the sleeves and will depend on the type of stresses during practice. It is in the practice of surfing that the constraints are the strongest, so we have decided to build our range as a priority for surfing.
For surfing, the choice will be made according to the duration of your sessions: 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours.

How to choose your anti-UV t-shirt? (Part 2: Depending on the duration of the session)
1 hour: Occasional practice. You can choose between a loose fit (priority to ease of donning and dry comfort) or a fitted cut (priority to wet comfort). A buckle system to connect to the shorts provides stability to the product.
2 hours: Regular practice. Wet comfort is enhanced by the seamless panels under the arms and the drawstring that further increases stability.
3 hours: Intensive practice. Added thermal insulation to last longer in the water

Thermality and wind
The minimum recommended water temperature for using this anti-UV t-shirt is 22 C if worn alone. Maximum duration of sessions: 3 hours.
This top is made of neoprene on the front and back to provide warmth even in windy conditions.
This top can also be worn under a wetsuit.

Components
The Neothermic top is made of Lycra on the arms and Neoprene on the body to ensure better comfort during practice.
The Neoprene is lined with synthetic textile for greater resistance to wear.
Neoprene thickness: 1.5 mm.
We test and guarantee the quality of our Neoprene materials.

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. The fleece inserts contain elastane which 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.

Multi-water sports anti-UV t-shirt
This Neothermic top limits friction and irritations related to contact with the surfboard or bodyboard. It can also be used under a wetsuit to limit irritations, particularly at the neck and armpits. We have designed seamless panels under the arms to limit irritations related to paddling movements. Our test protocols have validated that irritations were indeed limited during 3-hour sessions.

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