Kid's Long Sleeve Crew Neck Top for Sun and UV Protection

Details & care

The BloqUV Kids Crew Neck Top is a lightweight, long-sleeve UPF 50+ sun-protective shirt designed to help keep kids comfortable and protected during sunny outdoor adventures. Made with proprietary BloqTek™ sun-protective performance fabric, this shirt provides UPF 50+ protection and has been laboratory tested to block 98% of UVA and UVB rays, helping protect covered skin from harmful ultraviolet exposure. Because the chemical-free sun protection is woven into the fabric fibers and does not wash out, it provides dependable protection wear after wear and wash after wash, allowing parents to focus sunscreen application on exposed areas rather than covering the skin underneath the shirt. The classic crew neck and long-sleeve design provides comfortable coverage for the upper body and arms while allowing kids the freedom of movement they need to run, play, swim, climb, bike, and explore. The lightweight construction keeps the shirt comfortable during active days, while the unisex styling makes it an easy choice for both boys and girls. Its simple design also allows it to work as a standalone sun shirt or as an additional layer when extra coverage is needed. The Kids Crew Neck Top is designed to be more than just a traditional shirt because its versatile construction allows it to function as a sun shirt, swim shirt, rash guard, base layer, or beach cover-up. This makes it especially useful for swimming, fishing, boating, biking, playground time, beach days, vacations, and everyday outdoor play. Having one lightweight garment that can serve multiple purposes makes it easier for parents to keep kids protected while reducing the need to pack several different types of clothing. The soft, lightweight fabric features four-way stretch, providing comfortable flexibility and freedom of movement as kids run, bend, stretch, swim, play, and participate in outdoor activities. The buttery-soft feel helps make the shirt comfortable enough for extended wear, while the flexible construction moves with the body rather than restricting natural movement. This combination of softness and stretch makes the shirt suitable for everything from active outdoor adventures to after-school play. Moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance helps move moisture away from the body and allows the fabric to dry quickly, helping kids stay more comfortable during active play and water activities. The fabric also provides an approximately 5-degree cooling effect when wet with water or sweat, which makes the shirt particularly useful for swimming, water balloon fights, beach days, boating, and other warm-weather activities where kids are likely to get wet. The proprietary BloqTek™ fabric provides permanent UPF 50+ sun protection without relying on a topical chemical treatment. BloqUV states that its fabrics are tested according to AATCC TM 183 to ensure the UPF 50+ protection is as stated, and the UV protection is designed to remain effective even after repeated wear and washing. BloqUV also notes that an average white cotton top has a UPF rating of only about 5, making the UPF 50+ construction a significant increase in sun protection for covered skin. The fabric is designed for the demands of an active child's lifestyle. Shrink-resistant construction helps the shirt maintain its fit and appearance with proper care, while antimicrobial and odor-resistant properties help it stay fresher during active use. Flat seams provide a smooth feel against the skin while contributing to comfort, durability, and a clean finished appearance. The lightweight, packable construction also makes the shirt easy to fold into a backpack, beach bag, suitcase, or travel bag, making it convenient to take along for family trips and outdoor adventures. BloqTek™ is exclusive to BloqUV and is specifically engineered for sun-protective performance clothing. In addition to permanent UPF 50+ protection, the fabric provides a cooling effect when wet with water or sweat, helping improve comfort during warm-weather activities. BloqUV also states that its BloqTek™ fabric is free of BPA and BPS toxins, which are two types of bisphenols associated with potential health and environmental concerns. The Kids Crew Neck Top is available in unisex sizes XS through XXL, with XS corresponding to approximately age 5, Small to age 6, Medium to ages 7–8, Large to age 10, X-Large to age 12, and XX-Large to age 14. The current color selection includes Ice Blue, Indigo, Jade, Lavender, Mint, Navy, Soft Gray, Tangerine, Tickle Me Pink, Watermelon, and White, giving kids plenty of options for coordinating with swimwear, shorts, athletic clothing, or everyday outfits. The Kids Crew Neck Top is designed for a wide range of outdoor and water activities. It is especially well suited for swimming, fishing, boating, biking, playground time, beach days, vacations, water play, and everyday outdoor adventures. The combination of long-sleeve coverage, UPF 50+ sun protection, four-way stretch, moisture-wicking performance, quick-drying construction, cooling performance when wet, and lightweight comfort gives parents a practical way to provide additional sun protection while allowing kids to stay active and comfortable. The shirt is designed for straightforward care to help preserve its sun protection, performance, fit, and appearance. Wash the garment before wearing because some colors may bleed, and machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water and like colors only. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, and do not wash the shirt with Velcro. For best results, lay the shirt flat or hang it to dry away from natural sunlight, and do not iron or use a heated tumble dryer. Some sunscreens may cause discoloration of the garment, so take care when applying sunscreen while the shirt is being worn. For spot cleaning, BloqUV recommends products such as a Tide to Go Pen, Clorox non-bleach wipes, or baby wipes. When using a Tide to Go Pen, avoid rubbing the fabric vigorously and instead blot the affected area. For best results, wash the garment after applying the cleaning product, and BloqUV recommends using a Tide to Go Pen on light-colored garments only.
