Why Gardeners Wear Them
Four reasons this becomes the only Crew Neck you reach for.
Designed with real gardeners and tested through five Santa Cruz growing seasons. Every detail solves a problem you've actually had.
01
Blocks 98% of UV Rays
Tested to UPF 50+ by an independent lab, these sleeves intercept 98% of UVA and UVB radiation before it touches your skin. That means real protection through peak hours, not just light filtering.
UPF 50+ Lab Verified
02
Stops Scratches & Thorns
Tight-knit fabric creates a barrier between your forearms and whatever you're pruning, trellising, or harvesting. Roses, squash leaves, tomato suckers — none of it reaches skin.
Tested on Thornbush
03
Lighter Than a T-Shirt
Four-way stretch knit engineered from recycled REPREVE® fibers weighs under 1.5 oz. You'll forget you're wearing it until you pull it off and feel the sun.
Under 1.5 oz Per Pair
04
Stays Put — Thumb Loop
Slip on over any shirt and anchor the thumb loop. The UV Shirt stays in place whether you're reaching overhead, kneeling in beds, or carrying flats. No bunching, no slipping.
Thumb Loop Anchor
The Material
Built from REPREVE®. Because it performs better that way.
Made from 100% recycled plastic bottles — certified by REPREVE®
Four-way stretch moves with every reach, kneel, and carry
Moisture-wicking keeps you dry when the work heats up
Sun Protection Apparel
UV Crew Neck Shirts - made for long days out in the sun
Whether you’re gardening, walking the trails, fishing, or just enjoying time in the sun, our UV Crew Necks are designed to keep up.
You Garden Daily
For the person who's outside every morning before the heat peaks, tending beds, harvesting, or just walking the rows.
You Have Sensitive Skin
If you struggle with sensitive skin, our UV Crew Necks provide lightweight, comfortable protection all day.
You're Tired of Sunscreen
Greasy hands while handling seeds or transplants? Sunscreen that wears off in an hour? There's a better way. Pull this on and forget about it.
You Want To Protect Tattoos
UV fades ink faster than age. Full UPF 50+ coverage keeps your work vivid for years longer than going bare in the garden.
You Brush Poison Ivy
A physical barrier between your skin and urushiol oil is the most reliable prevention. Slip this on when working near ivy, oak, or sumac.
You Drive · Hike · Bike
Window UV, trail exposure, road cycling — these UV Crew Necks work everywhere sun finds your arms, not just in the garden.
While our ProMesh Protection Sleeves haven't been independently lab-tested against urushiol, thousands of customers wear them specifically for working around poison ivy, poison oak, and thorny plants. The fabric is designed to act as a physical barrier between your skin and what you're working around.
They're built for everyday garden and field work — pulling weeds, pruning roses, clearing brush, and protecting your arms from the scratches and irritation that come with it. They're not puncture-proof, so very heavy thorny work may still get through — but for typical garden tasks, they hold up well.

Your input is very much appreciated. Share it with your friends so they can enjoy it too!
My grand daughters love their sleeves. They have been using them weeding in the garden. They are protected from bugs and weeds. The colors are beautiful and they love the butterflies and rainbows.
My daughter does not garden but she has eczema that flares up on her inner elbows. She loves these sleeves for being cool against her skin while protecting her arms from itching. They are cute and she feels more comfortable wearing them these than showing her rashy elbows. They are also useful after we apply topical medicines to the eczema, as the sleeves keep her from touching the medicine or spreading it elsewhere.
