Mens UV Tops

When you spend long days in and around the water, protecting your skin from the sun is just as important as having the right equipment. Our range of Men's UV Tops is designed to keep you comfortable and protected whether you're surfing, paddle boarding, sea swimming or relaxing at the beach.

We stock a selection of men's UV tops from leading water sports and surf brands including Billabong, C-Skins, O'Neill, Patagonia, Quiksilver and Volcom. Featuring short sleeve, long sleeve and hooded styles, these tops provide reliable UPF 50+ protection while remaining comfortable for active use in and around the water.

A quality men's UV top offers more than protection from the sun. Rash vests help reduce irritation caused by surfboards, bodyboards and wetsuits while providing a breathable layer that enhances overall comfort and fit. Lightweight fabrics allow for unrestricted movement during long sessions, helping you stay focused on the waves rather than your gear. Many styles feature quick-drying technologies, including Hydrophobic HyperDry Technology on selected models, helping to minimise water absorption and maintain comfort both in and out of the water. Many styles can be worn on their own in warm weather or layered under a wetsuit for added comfort, while hooded options provide additional protection for the head and neck during long days in the sun.

Long sleeve UV tops are a popular choice for surfers, paddle boarders and open-water swimmers who spend extended periods outdoors. They provide extra coverage from the sun, help reduce the need for frequent sunscreen application and can help minimise fatigue caused by prolonged sun exposure, allowing you to stay in the water for longer with greater comfort. Short sleeve UV tops offer a practical balance of protection, comfort and flexibility for warmer conditions.

Whether you're planning a surf trip, enjoying regular sea swims or spending time on the beach with family and friends, the right UV clothing helps you stay focused on enjoying the water. From our surf shop in Hove, you'll find men's UV tops designed for everything from summer beach days and paddle boarding to surfing at your favourite local break or travelling further afield.
