UV Leggings

UV LEGGINGS WITH UV PROTECTION FOR WATER SPORTS AND SUNNY ACTIVITIES

UV leggings are an extremely practical and versatile piece of clothing, favored by passionate water sports enthusiasts such as kitesurfers, SUP riders, swimmers, windsurfers and water skiers. They are also popular among those who enjoy long walks along the coast, where prolonged sun exposure is common.

UV leggings provide continuous protection from the sun’s rays and are an excellent alternative to repeatedly applying sunscreen to the legs, which quickly washes off in the water. The material effectively protects the skin while allowing comfortable movement both in the water and on land.

UV LEGGINGS ARE ALSO EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE

Well-designed UV leggings feature a shaped waistband that keeps the garment securely in place, even during falls into the water or movement in the waves. Many models include an additional drawstring at the waist, allowing connection to a UV shirt and preventing the clothing from shifting during activity.

UV leggings pair perfectly with short-sleeve or long-sleeve UV shirts, together providing full-body sun protection.

WHAT DOES UPF 50+ MEAN?

Before purchasing UV leggings, it is important to check for the UPF 50+ label. UPF indicates the level of fabric protection against UV rays and shows how much sunlight the material blocks.

Leggings labeled UPF 50+ block more than 98% of UV rays, providing a very high level of skin protection. For this reason, UV leggings are especially recommended for people with fair skin, sensitive skin, moles, or anyone who wants to protect their skin from premature aging.

QUICK-DRY LYCRA LEGGINGS

Lycra leggings are made from high-quality, quick-drying material that protects against sunburn and long-term UV damage. The fabric blocks at least 98% of UVB and approximately 95% of UVA rays.

Thanks to their stretch and lightweight feel, lycra leggings are suitable for both intense water sports and relaxed activities by the water or on the beach. Whether you’re heading out on a SUP adventure, a training session or a walk in nature, quick-drying UV-protective lycra leggings are a reliable choice.

UV LEGGINGS AS PART OF COMPLETE SUN PROTECTION

Although high-quality UV leggings provide excellent protection for the legs, it is important to consider other factors during water activities, such as light reflection from water or sand, sun intensity and time of day.

For full protection, it is recommended to combine UV leggings with a UV shirt, sunglasses, a cap with a visor and regular hydration. On the water, we often underestimate the heat, which makes proper protection even more important.

UV leggings offer a simple, comfortable and long-term solution for anyone who wants to spend more time in the sun without compromising skin health.
