Fabrics Built to Block the Sun

Stretch Knits for Active Sun Protection

Our stretch knit UV protective fabrics combine a tight weave with four-way elasticity, making them ideal for rash guards, swim shirts, and outdoor activewear. These fabrics pair naturally with our 4 Way Stretch Fabric range, offering full freedom of movement without sacrificing UV blocking performance. Weighing between 140–180gsm, they're substantial enough to shield skin while remaining light and comfortable during prolonged outdoor activity.

Microfiber Blends That Breathe and Perform

Microfiber-based UV fabrics offer an ultra-fine hand feel with excellent moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties — essential for sun-protective garments worn in warm, humid conditions. Many of our options incorporate Polyamide Nylon Fabric or Polyester Fabric into their construction, delivering durability and colorfastness even after repeated sun and water exposure. These blends are a go-to for manufacturers producing high-volume beachwear, hiking shirts, and UV-rated outdoor apparel.

Lightweight Options for Everyday UV Coverage

For everyday sun-safe clothing like long-sleeve tops, sun hats, and lightweight cover-ups, our 120–160gsm fabrics strike the perfect balance between protection and wearability. Designs that incorporate Performance Wear Fabric construction principles ensure these lighter weights still deliver reliable UPF ratings without feeling heavy or restrictive. Their breathable structure allows air circulation, keeping the wearer cool even during extended time outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order just a small amount of fabric?
Absolutely! You can order by the yard, making it easy to get just what you need for your sewing or craft project. 
Will the fabric colors look the same in person?
We do our best to show true-to-life colors, but lighting and screen settings can cause slight differences. If you’re unsure, ordering a small cut first is a great idea.
How should I wash my fabric before sewing?
Most fabrics can be gently machine-washed in cold water and air-dried. We always recommend prewashing to prevent shrinkage and keep your finished piece looking great.
How long will it take for my order to arrive?
Orders are usually packed within a few days. Shipping times vary by location, but we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
