RVCA LS Surf Shirt

RVCA Long Sleeve Surf Shirt for Sun Protection in the Water

The RVCA LS Surf Shirt is a long sleeve surf tee built to be worn in the water, answering the search for a real sun shirt rather than a cotton tee that just gets heavy and offers no protection. It is made specifically as a surf shirt, not a casual layering piece.

Fabric and Fit Details

This shirt is constructed from a recycled polyester elastane blend fabric and delivers UVA and UVB protection, so it is built for time spent directly in the sun. It has a fitted fit through the body and a crew neck, with raglan long sleeves for a fuller range of motion through the shoulders, plus an internal back bottom hem key loop to keep a key secure during a session.

Who This Shirt Is For

This is built for anyone spending real hours in South Florida sun on a surfboard, paddleboard, or boat, where a standard t-shirt does not hold up to sun and saltwater the same way. The fitted cut and raglan sleeve keep it out of the way during paddling, and the built-in key loop is a small but practical detail for anyone locking up before a session.

How to Wear and Care for It

Wear it as a base layer directly against the skin for sun coverage during a surf or paddle session, then rinse it in fresh water after time in saltwater or chlorine to help the fabric and its UV protection last. Because it is a recycled polyester elastane blend, avoid high heat drying that can break down the stretch fibers over time.

That surf-rooted identity is exactly why RVCA makes purpose-built surf shirts like this one rather than treating sun protection as an afterthought.
