The Kool UPF Zip Jersey provides the ultimate protection from the sun

The Kool UPF Zip Jersey has been designed to not only keep you feeling cool when the temperature soars, but will also protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun thanks to its high UPF rating, enabling you to continue whatever outdoor activity you’re taking part in, knowing that you are protected.

Korda Kool UPF Zip Jersey provides consistent and reliable protection from the sun

 

Cover Up

Sunblock is of course an effective way to shield your skin, but arguably it is even better to cover it up with a material that blocks out potentially dangerous rays, and is why in so many hot countries you see people wearing long sleeved shirts and exposing as little of their skin as possible – plus it actually helps you to stay cooler as well and better regulate your body temperature.

 

The ultimate protection for those who spend extended periods out in the sun's harmful rays

 

UPF50 certified

This long sleeve top is certified as UPF50 to provide the ultimate in sun protection, meaning that it blocks out 98% of harmful UV rays, and provides consistent protection all day.

With its long sleeves and high zip neck, it covers a large area of your upper body, and when worn in conjunction with other clothing items from the Kool range, such as a Quick Dry Snood or Wide Brimmed Boonie Hat, your upper body and head will be completely protected.

 

Extremely lightweight and providing reliable protection - sizes to fit anyone and provide a comfortable and flattering fit

 

High tech material

The Korda Kool UPF Zip Jersey has been tailored from a high tech, innovative, 100% polyester fabric, which not only protects you from sunburn and long term skin damage, but also ensures that you stay cool and comfortable, whatever you’re doing, as it is extremely light weight with closed hole mesh and an interlocking material.

 

Comfortable and lightweight

This UPF rated jersey has been designed to have a fairly close fit to your body, but not so tight that it feels uncomfortable – when wearing this lightweight garment with its soft fabric, you’ll hardly even notice that you have it on! – and it allows for complete freedom of movement, so as not to hinder whatever outdoor pursuit you’re taking part in.

 

We take sun protection extremely seriously, so the Korda Kool UPF Zip Jersey has a zip neck consistent with that goal

 

Neck protection

The neck has been designed so that it will protect your skin, but at the same time won’t feel uncomfortable against your lower face – and any stubble you might have – or too constrictive around your throat, and a high quality zip allows you to adjust it to however it feels best for you.

 

Sizes to fit anyone

You'll look great wearing it, whatever size you are as we've now added a 4XL size after numerous requests our customers, and will blend in with your natural surroundings, as it comes in a choice of dark olive or Dark Kamo patterns, combining style with better protection when the temperature rises on baking hot days.

 

Unlike sunscreen the Korda Kool UPF Zip Jersey provides reliable protection and high performance, whilst it significantly reduces harmful rays reaching your skin

 

Korda Kool UPF Zip Jersey - superior to sunblock

Arguably a long sleeve top like this is superior to sunblock, as unlike that you don’t end up with something greasy all over your skin, plus it doesn’t wear off and have to be reapplied every few hours to ensure that it is still working, so you can just enjoy yourself in the knowledge that you are protected.

That is great news for anyone spending extended periods of time outdoors whilst partaking in activities such as fishing, hiking, or even just walking the dog on a summers day.

 

A long sleeved top is the natural choice to stay well protected on baking hot days thanks to extremely lightweight interlocking material

 

Raising money for good causes

Like the other clothing items in the Kool range, 50% of profits from the sale of the UPF Zip Jersey will be donated to Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and Melanoma Focus, with a 50:50 split, and already thousands of pounds have been raised for these charities.

 

Sizes from small to 4XL are available.
