VRNCLR Solar Shirts Are Back

Made in the Bay Area by our buddy Tom, the Solar Shirts are a boxy and cropped fit UPF sun protection shirt.  These button-up shirts are sewn from a beautiful, lightweight woven nylon with a UPF 50+ rating and a cotton-like hand-feel. Breathable, antimicrobial, and blocks 97.5-98% of UV radiation from harming your skin. Snap button closure for easy on and off. Designed to be worn every day, for every occasion. These shirts have been worn to weddings, thru-hikes of the Pacific Crest Trail and everything in between. Doing more with less, over a longer period of time.

Specs:

  • Unisex Sizing.
  • Size M weighs 6.1 oz.
  • The fabric was woven in Osaka, Japan.
  • Sewn to wear in, not out, in Oakland, CA.
