Summer is upon us again, which means you’ll have to combat the sweltering sun’s rays once again.

Unlike last year, however, you can put away the sunscreen and prep your wardrobe with help from Apivoe’s sun-protected “shirts.” Retailing for as low as $9.77 depending on the colorway, this men’s hooded long-sleeve makes for the perfect gift for those who love the sun, without the damage. If you’re heading to a festival or to the beach, we can see this style coming in handy for any sun-soaked activities.

The long sleeve comes in 12 colorways and sizes small to 3XL. No matter the colorway, this piece is constructed of UPF 50+ fabric or Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which blocks up to 98% or more of the sun’s harmful UV rays, providing the wearer with a high level of protection against pesky sunburn, skin aging or even skin cancer. No, it’s not magic. The UPF-rated fabric utilizes specific weaves, materials, and coatings to absorb, reflect and block UV rays, offering a barrier of sorts.

Beyond being sun-protecting, the fabric is also elasticized, making it extremely comfortable. While we can see this long sleeve working well for all festivals this season, it could also be great for those who labor outside like construction workers or athletes.

This piece is also extremely breathable and waterproof. The hood attached to the neckline offers optimum coverage and is equipped with a built-in mask that allows you to customize your look based on weather conditions. Still looking for a gift for Father’s Day? If you buy now, Amazon will ship this shirt out ahead of the holiday, making gifting for those stubborn dads a breeze.

Some of our favorite colorways include Black, Gray and Camouflage, which looks more like a rainbow gradient despite its name. The color options allow for endless styling possibilities. The neutral tones lean more casual, while the colorful tones would be great festival attire.

We can see the rainbow gradient style lending itself well to pride parades galore, accompanied by denim shorts, white sneakers and a bandana. For a work day under the sun or a hiking trip with scenic views, we can envision the shirt worn with cargo pants and boots, a backpack slung over your shoulder for a rugged moment. Whatever way you choose to style this piece, you’ll know you’re protected from the sun no matter the occasion. Summer just became worry-free.
