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.
