NORTHYARD Men's Sun Shirt Long Sleeve UPF 50+ Quick-Dry Performance Top for Swim & Run

NORTHYARD's Men's Long Sleeve Sun Shirt is a lightweight, quick-drying performance top with UPF 50+ protection designed for swimming, running, fishing and outdoor adventure.

This long-sleeve sun shirt mixes breathable, ultra-soft fabric with moisture-wicking performance and a relaxed athletic cut so you stay comfortable during active days in the sun. Built-in UPF 50+ fabric blocks most UVA and UVB exposure while flatlock seams and a tagless collar reduce chafing. Reflective accents add visibility for low-light runs, and the fast-drying material makes it ideal for water sports and multi-day trips.

How does this shirt handle heat and sweat during intense activity?

The fabric is engineered to pull moisture away from the skin and dry quickly, keeping your core feeling cooler when you push hard. Its ultra-light weave promotes airflow while still offering sun protection.

• Ultra-soft performance knit with active moisture-wicking
• Quick-drying for swims, surf sessions or sweaty workouts
• Lightweight breathability that reduces cling and overheating

Will it protect me from sun exposure on long outdoor days?

This shirt carries a UPF 50+ rating, which materially reduces UV transmission through the fabric. It’s intended as a sun-protective layer to complement other sun-safety measures such as sunscreen and hats.

• UPF 50+ fabric blocks a large portion of UVA/UVB rays
• Full long-sleeve coverage for arms and shoulders
• Ideal for boating, fishing, hiking and beach days

Is the fit comfortable for running and active movement?

The design provides a relaxed athletic fit that lets you move freely without excess fabric getting in the way. Flatlock stitching and a tagless collar minimize friction, so the shirt stays comfortable during long runs or extended wear.

• Relaxed, athletic cut for full range of motion
• Flatlock seams and tagless collar reduce chafing
• Arm mobility designed for paddling, casting, and sprinting

What safety and visibility features are included for low-light use?

Subtle reflective dot details are placed under the arms and on the outer sleeves to help increase visibility without compromising the shirt’s casual outdoor look. These accents improve safety on early-morning or dusk activities.

• Reflective dot pattern under armpits and on sleeves
• Enhances visibility for running and cycling at low light
• Discreet design keeps a clean, versatile appearance
