Women's Sun Protective Swimwear UPF 50+

Confidence in and out of the water. Solbari’s women’s sun protective swimwear delivers reliable coverage for covered skin as part of a complete sun protection routine. As sunscreen can wash off during swimming, sun protection swimwear provides UPF 50+ coverage to covered areas without needing to reapply it to those covered areas. Continue to use sunscreen on exposed skin, along with sunglasses, shade and other sun-smart behaviours.

The collection includes Long Sleeve Rash Guards with thumbholes for added hand coverage, Long Sleeve Printed Swim Tops for a more styled option, and a range of swim leggings, including the High Rise Swim Legging with a flattering, quick-drying fit.

Solbari UPF 50+ swimwear fabrics are designed to help block at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays through the fabric. Designed for pool, ocean and beach use, the range includes chlorine- and saltwater-resistant styles.

Coverage in and out of the water

Solbari’s sun protection swimwear for women delivers extensive coverage while in the water. Long Sleeve Rash Guards cover the arms, shoulders and torso, while Swim Leggings cover from the waist to the ankles. Worn together, they provide UPF 50+ coverage for the areas covered by the garments during extended swim sessions.

Rash Guards include thumbholes to extend coverage to the backs of the hands and wrists, ideal for snorkelling, kayaking and other water sports. The Swim Legging offers a flattering, secure fit in a silky-soft, quick-drying fabric that moves easily from the pool to the beach.

Built for real-world use, these styles use chlorine- and saltwater-resistant fabrics designed to maintain their shape and sun protective properties with correct care.

Pair with sun wraps and cover-ups or explore UPF 50+ trousers and leggings for women for additional layering.

Why UPF 50+ swimwear complements sunscreen in the water

Sunscreen is essential on exposed skin, but it can wash off in water and requires reapplication according to its directions. UPF 50+ swimwear provides wearable sun protection for covered skin throughout a swim as part of a complete sun protection routine.

UPF refers to the ultraviolet protection rating for fabrics. Solbari UPF 50+ fabrics help block at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays through the fabric. SPF applies to sunscreen, so terms such as SPF swimwear and SPF bathing suits are more accurately described as UPF 50+ swimwear.

Always use sunscreen on exposed skin, sunglasses, shade and other sun-smart behaviours alongside sun protective clothing.
