Everyday sun protection starts with the top you wear most. Solbari’s collection of UPF tops for men includes polo shirts, T-shirts, jackets, hoodies and quarter-zip styles, offering a wide range of options for outdoor work, sport, travel and everyday wear. Every style is independently tested and certified UPF 50+, helping block at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays through the fabric.
Many everyday garments provide substantially less sun protection than tested UPF 50+ fabric. By comparison, Solbari’s collection of men’s ultraviolet-protective tops delivers tested sun protection in the garments men already wear every day.
The range includes three fabric collections to suit different activities and preferences. The Active Collection features moisture-wicking, anti-odour, four-way stretch fabrics for sport and outdoor activity. The Sensitive Collection uses soft bamboo-cotton blends that are gentle on sensitive skin. Lifestyle fabric options provide lightweight comfort for travel, commuting and everyday wear.
Solbari is an Australian sun protection brand, born in Melbourne. Solbari fabrics are independently tested and rated UPF 50+ to Australian and US standards. The UPF rating confirms the sun protection level of the fabric.
Choosing the right sun protection shirt and clothing depends on how you spend your time outdoors. Polo shirts are ideal for golf and dress-code settings, offering a collared look with the choice of Active Collection performance fabrics or softer Sensitive Collection styles. T-shirts provide a more relaxed everyday option, with long-sleeve designs delivering full arm coverage and short-sleeve styles suited to warmer conditions.
For the highest coverage in a single garment, jackets and hoodies cover the arms, torso and neck simultaneously, making them practical for driving, hiking, outdoor work and travel. The Everlight Jacket also features a water-repellent finish for changing weather conditions. The Quarter Zip Top sits between a T-shirt and a jacket, with a stand collar, thumbholes and Active Collection fabric that works well for hiking and layering.
All men's UPF tops deliver the same UPF 50+ certified sun protection. The choice comes down to fit, fabric feel and intended use rather than sun protection level.
