UPF 50+ Sun Protection That Wears Like a Favorite Tee
The Heritage Heather LS Lycra is built for surfers who want full-session sun coverage without the stiff, clingy feel of a traditional rashguard. Engineered from a recycled polyester stretch blend with a fine-brushed interior, it delivers the soft hand of a broken-in cotton t-shirt while blocking the sun at a UPF 50+ rating. Whether you are logging a two-hour dawn patrol or a full six-hour marathon session, your arms and torso stay covered from first paddle to last wave.
Construction and Fabric Technology
The Heritage Heather LS Lycra is made from a 46% polyester, 45% recycled polyester, 9% elastane blend. The recycled yarn construction reduces the environmental footprint of the garment without sacrificing stretch or durability. The chlorine-resistant treatment means the fabric holds up in both salt and pool water, session after session, without fading or breaking down. Supreme wicking technology pulls moisture away from skin and accelerates dry time so the shirt transitions from the lineup to lunch without staying damp.
Fit and Coverage
The loose, comfortable cut is designed to stay put. Unlike a fitted rashguard that rides up when you paddle, the straight hem and relaxed silhouette keep your lower back and midsection covered throughout every pop-up and duck dive. The crew neckline sits clean against the skin with no chafing, and the long sleeves extend full coverage to the wrists. A fixed hood is built into the collar for when conditions demand extra protection. Quiksilver branding appears on the chest and back.
Why Surfers Choose It
This shirt closes the gap between performance sun protection and everyday comfort. Standard rashguards compress and trap heat; this loose-fit surf tee breathes and moves without restriction. The recycled stretch blend returns shape wash after wash, the chlorine resistance keeps it looking sharp through an entire season, and the UPF 50+ rating means you spend more time in the water and less time worrying about reapplying sunscreen on covered skin.
