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

Details & care

The BloqUV Toddler's Crew Neck Top is a lightweight, long-sleeve UPF 50+ sun-protective shirt designed to help keep toddlers 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 UV protection is built directly into the fabric and does not wash out, the shirt provides dependable sun protection wear after wear and wash after wash. This allows parents to focus sunscreen application on exposed areas rather than applying it underneath the shirt. The classic long-sleeve crew neck design provides comfortable coverage for the upper body and arms while allowing toddlers the freedom of movement they need to run, play, climb, swim, bike, and explore. The soft, lightweight construction is designed to remain comfortable during long days outside, while the unisex styling makes it an easy choice for both boys and girls. The simple design also makes it versatile enough to wear as an everyday shirt or as specialized sun-protective clothing for outdoor and water activities. The Toddler's Crew Neck Top can be worn on its own or used as a versatile base layer, sun shirt, swim shirt, rash guard, or beach cover-up. This makes it particularly useful for swimming, fishing, boating, biking, playground time, beach days, vacations, and other family outdoor adventures. Having one lightweight garment that can serve multiple purposes makes it easier for parents to keep their toddlers protected without needing to pack several different types of clothing. The soft, lightweight four-way stretch fabric provides comfortable flexibility and freedom of movement, allowing toddlers to move naturally as they play, swim, crawl, run, bend, and explore. The breathable, buttery-soft feel helps make the shirt comfortable enough for all-day wear, while the flexible construction moves with the body instead of feeling stiff or restrictive. This combination of softness and stretch makes it suitable for both active play and everyday wear. Moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance helps move moisture away from the body and allows the fabric to dry quickly, helping toddlers stay more comfortable during active play and water activities. The fabric also provides a cooling effect of approximately 5 degrees when wet with water or sweat, making the shirt particularly useful for swimming, splash play, beach days, boating, and other warm-weather activities where toddlers 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 in accordance with AATCC TM 183 to ensure the UPF 50+ protection is as stated. Because the UV protection is incorporated into the fabric, it does not wash out, providing consistent sun protection through repeated wear and laundering. BloqUV also notes that an average white cotton top has a UPF rating of only about 5, making UPF 50+ fabric a significant increase in sun protection for covered skin. The performance fabric is designed to handle the demands of an active toddler. Shrink-resistant construction helps the shirt maintain its fit and appearance with proper care, while antimicrobial and odor-resistant properties help the garment stay fresher during repeated wear and 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 diaper bag, backpack, beach bag, or suitcase, 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 providing UPF 50+ protection that does not wash out, the fabric provides a cooling effect when wet with water or sweat. BloqUV also states that its BloqTek™ fabric is free of BPA and BPS toxins, which are two types of bisphenols associated with possible health and environmental concerns. The Toddler's Crew Neck Top is available in unisex sizes 2T, 3T, and 4T, making it suitable for both boys and girls. The current color selection includes Ice Blue, Indigo, Jade, Lavender, Mint, Navy, Soft Gray, Tangerine, Tickle Me Pink, Watermelon, and White, giving families a variety of options to coordinate with swimwear, shorts, play clothes, or everyday outfits. The Toddler's 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, and everyday outdoor play. 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 toddlers 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 garment 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 use a Tide to Go Pen on light-colored garments only.
