Discover the New and Improved Akona Sun Shirt
Enhance your outdoor experience with this Unisex Shirt, now featuring half back mesh panels for superior breathability and airflow. Available in short-sleeve and long-sleeve options, this innovative shirt keeps you cool and comfortable throughout your outdoor adventures. With built-in SPF 50+ sun protection, it shields your skin by blocking 97.5% of harmful UV rays, providing reliable defense under the sun.
Stay Cool with Advanced Breathability and Moisture Control
This shirt features a breathable polyester/spandex mesh half-back panel, enhancing airflow to keep you cool even during intense activities. Its moisture-wicking fabric effectively draws sweat away from your skin, promoting quick evaporation for a dry, fresh feeling. Designed with quick-drying technology, it transitions seamlessly between water and land activities.
Lightweight Comfort and Flexible Performance
Made from a lightweight polyester/spandex blend, this sun shirt offers a 200% stretch capacity for unparalleled flexibility and ease of movement. Its loose fit ensures all-day comfort, making it perfect for both men and women. Enhanced with anti-microbial properties, it prevents odors, ensuring freshness during prolonged wear.
Diver's Comfort Tip: If you frequently experience friction or "wetsuit rash" around your neck and shoulders from heavy gear straps or a stiff neoprene collar, wearing this short-sleeve sun shirt as a base layer eliminates the problem while making it much easier to slide your wetsuit on and off.
Maximum UPF 50+ Protection: Fabricated to block over 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, providing a permanent physical barrier against intense sun exposure. This reduces the need for heavy sunscreen applications and helps protect delicate coral reefs from chemical runoff.
Core Protection from Stings and Scrapes: Protects your chest, back, and shoulders against irritation caused by stinging jellyfish, sea lice, and accidental contact with rough surfaces like sand, rocks, or equipment straps.
4-Way Ultra-Stretch Flexibility: Made from a lightweight nylon/spandex technical blend that stretches effortlessly with your body's natural movements. The short-sleeve design offers maximum mobility and ventilation for active sports like paddleboarding, beach volleyball, and swimming.
Anti-Chafe Flatlock Seams: Features flat, low-profile stitching throughout the garment. This prevents painful friction and chafing, especially when the shirt is worn directly beneath a snug wetsuit or a heavy buoyancy compensator (BCD) harness.
Moisture-Wicking & Quick-Drying: The technical fabric sheds water rapidly upon leaving the surf, allowing moisture to evaporate quickly to prevent wind-chill during boat surface intervals or breezy beach walks.
Universal Unisex Cut: Carefully tailored to comfortably fit both male and female torsos, offering a streamlined, athletic fit that reduces drag in the water without feeling overly restrictive.
